Sun Micro Outlines Roadmap for Managing Networks
|
|
Friday September 20, 5:00 am ET
|

By Peter Henderson

|
|
|
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Computer maker Sun Microsystems Inc. on Thursday
|
|
said it would create in a few years a network environment that will be as
|
|
straightforward to handle as a single machine, a strategy it calls N1.
|
|
|
|
It laid out a road map for a new layer of intelligent software and systems that will meld
|
|
unwieldy networks into easy-to-use systems, a goal similar to those of most rivals
|
|
making computers which manage networks.
|
|
EMC Corp. announced this week software aimed at allowing users to manage storage
|
|
resources as a pool. Hewlett-Packard Co has a Utility Data Center, designed for
|
|
broader management. International Business Machines Corp's project eLiza is working
|
|
to make computers "self-healing" when systems break.
|
|
|
|
"Applications still have to run zeroes and ones on some computing engine but the
|
|
whole idea behind N1 is you stop thinking about that. You don't think about what box
|
|
it is running on," Sun Vice President Steve MacKay, head of the N1 program, said in an
|
|
interview on the sidelines of a Sun user conference.
|
|
|
|
Many industry executives see computer power eventually being sold like power or
|
|
water, as a utility that can be turned on or off, in whatever volume one wants whenever
|
|
needed.
|
|
For that to happen computers must be tied together seamlessly, rather than cobbling
|
|
them together with tenuous links, as most networks do today, experts say. There are
|
|
still major barriers, though, such as communications standards for machines from
|
|
different vendors to interoperate closely.
|
|
Sun promised to deliver a "virtualization engine" that would let administrators look at
|
|
their entire network as a pool by the end of the year. Network administrators today
|
|
often have no automatic system to report what is in the network.
|
|
|
|
"It'll tell you what you have and how it is laid out," promised MacKay
|
|
The second stage, beginning in 2003, would allow users to identify a service, such as
|
|
online banking, and allocate resources for them with a few clicks, Sun said.
|
|
Finally, in 2004, Sun's software should allow networks to change uses of resources on
|
|
the fly in response to changing needs, such as a bank assuring quicker online response
|
|
time for priority users, the company said.
