What is SDS?

The Seros SOA Dashboard Service (SDS) is a centralized display of selected enterprise SOA services exposing information via WS-Management.  Customers can easily configure the display to reflect the state of their SOA system.  They can also set compliance settings to ensure that their system is running within any service level agreements.  This is all done via an intuitive, web-enabled user interface.

Key Capabilities and Features

Web-enabled enterprise-wide view

The Seros SOA Dashboard Service (SDS) provides a web-enabled enterprise-wide view of the health and status of a SOA infrastructure. SDS can connect to any network resource that exposes its information via the WS-Management standard and render that in an easy to understand graphical interface. The administrator can configure the interface to reflect the data either in text, numeric or graphic format. The administrator may define “aggregated resources” where the displayed values are the aggregates of multiple infrastructural components. In this way, the administrator can view the system at a higher level and drill down where necessary to view the details of a particular group of components.

Standards Based Management

The Seros SDS can gather data from any components that expose management features via the WS-Management interface. This provides for easy integration into many environments. If components do not currently support WS-Management, they may use the Seros Governance and Management Service (GMS) to quickly and easily expose them as such.

Policy-driven Compliance Model

The Seros SDS may also be configured to reflect whether these components are operating within a stated compliance policy. The administrator has full control in defining “stop light” policies based on availability, number of faults, number of service level agreements violations, and/or throughput.
