Kiril Tatarinov, VP Microsoft Windows & Enterprise Management Division
Model-Based Management of Distributed Services | slides | video
Traditional systems management has not been successful, and with ever-increasing scale, complexity and agility the problem keeps getting worse. The central problem is a lack of knowledge of the managed systems: what they are like, and what they should be like. We need formalized knowledge, in the form of system models, that allow automated management of deployment, configuration, security and operations. This knowledge must be captured already during the development phase, with models and policies refined and adjusted during the system’s life cycle. Microsoft’s industry-wide Dynamic Systems Initiative is aimed at providing infrastructure and tools for model-based management.

Session is intended to work towards the goals below. So that the breakout sessions capture the areas of interest/excitement in the room, participants will suggest topics they want to lead a discussion on. Other participants will divide themselves among the topic leaders, and we will dynamically coalesce groups as needed. After discussions, which can extend into the evening, the group leader will make short presentation during the final session on Friday.
Goals:
– List hard problems facing enterprise network IT staffs, separating near-term issues from the ones that require research or new approaches.
– Describe scenarios campus/enterprise IT managers will have to support & build over the next 3-5 years.
– Define distinguishing characteristics of enterprise networks - 17: 15 – 18:30 Enterprise Security and Policy (Salish Ballroom)Speakers
