Jiro Storage Management

The Jiro™ technology provides an environment intended for the implementation of storage management solutions. A product based on Jiro technology is an implementation based on the Federated Management Architecture (FMA) Specification, which describes extensions to the Java language environment. The FMA initiative addresses system management, particularly storage management. In addition to the platform, the FMA Specification defines a component model, i.e., the FederatedBeans model, and a set of services. The Jiro technology is effectively the application of this model to the design and implementation of storage management solutions. The FMA assumes a three-tier architecture for the design of storage management applications: the first or top tier is the client/presentation layer, or interaction layer with user’s or systems acting as a client of the storage management application; the third or lowest tier represents the storage and related resources being managed; and the secon...
