Abstract

It is widely recognized that the scalable and efficient management of large, heterogeneous information technology infrastructures requires middleware that allows the extension of managed resources with new functionality at runtime. A recent and promising approach is the Java Dynamic Management Kit (JDMK) that relies on the JavaBeans component technology. Based on our experiences with a prototype implementation that provides an adaptable management instrumentation for an Internet Telephony Server, the paper analyses the suitability of JDMK for building scalable and flexible management systems. The results of our work allow us to evaluate JDMK regarding its suitability for the management of large-scale enterprise networks
