Challenges of IT Systems Management Today’s applications offer flexibility for business but introduce management challenges … “How do we coordinate problem resolution across all parts of the organization? ” “How can we minimize the disparate information we collect? ” “How can we instrument our systems? ” “How can we share resource descriptions in a consistent manner? ” “What industry standards can be applied to help solve the problems? ” 2 Overview of COSMOS Project | © 2006 by IBM corp; made available under the EPL v 1. 0

COmmunity Systems Management Open Source* § COSMOS § Built upon the Eclipse Platform, the COSMOS project intends to develop generic, extensible, standards-based components for a tools platform upon which software developers can create specialized, differentiated, and inter-operable offerings of tools for system management § The framework will exploit standards-based services for monitoring, and modeling of enterprise resources, applications, and workloads § COSMOS will facilitate the next evolutionary move for systems management § COSMOS will define the common assets needed in a platform for vendors to derive immediate benefit and in turn provide higher value in their own offerings § COSMOS will facilitate a migration to a common and open standards driven set of components § In accordance with Eclipse process the COSMOS project will incubate following the guidance and supervision of the Eclipse Technology PMC § Expectation is COSMOS will graduate to a top level Eclipse project in March 2007 along with the GA of release 1. *COSMOS is a proposed name and will likely change in the future 3 Overview of COSMOS Project | © 2006 by IBM corp; made available under the EPL v 1. 0
