Chapter 3. e-business infrastructure management

Infrastructure management is a vital component of any successful e-business solution. At a high level, infrastructure management comprises four areas:

  • Performance and availability management

  • Configuration and operations management

  • Storage management

  • Security management

Each of these could be applied to both systems and networks. This chapter describes this in detail, and the technology behind IBM e-business solutions in these areas. A brief introduction to the Common Information Model (CIM) used by systems management software to obtain management data is also provided.
