Service measurement and reporting is a capability area that supports management of a cloud computing infrastructure. To measure how well deliver on-demand service is delivered, service quality measurements can be collected once the service is accepted and provisioned by a cloud provider.
Data Strategy is an organizational approach to data management that
focuses on finding the right balance between data goals including ensuring
that data is:
- visible
- accessible
- institutionalized
- understandable
- trusted
- interoperable
- responsive to stakeholder needs
The DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) addresses management of architecture data consistent with an enterprise data strategy.
Planning of network configurations can involve many routers that send and receive network traffic. Structural networks that are disconnected can result from provisioning inconsistencies. To avoid configuration errors, a conflict-checking service can be created that examines the logs from provisioning routers and builds a directed graph. This graph can be examined for connectivity between ports that inject and extract traffic from a core network.
Requirements are needs expressed in natural language; requirements management is a set of activities designed to understand and specify the current needs from project start to completion.
Network management is an interesting area dealing with the provisioning of network devices to provide connectivity to quality specifications.
