Connection Integration System for ICT Infrastructure Management

Many of recent network services are provided by NFV-based microservices to enable great dynamics in development and deployment. Including Kubernetes and OpenStack, there are several kinds of orchestrating tools that provides flexibility of deployments such as auto deployment, auto healing and rolling updates for ICT infrastructure. However, the management interface (e.g., SSH, telnet and Web UI) against ICT infrastructure tend to be complicated based on the number of components. Furthermore, most of management interface does not provide standard logging feature which is extremely important on ICT managements including controlling management operation and tracing management behavior. In this work, we demonstrate how these issues can be mitigated with the connection integration system called SMART-GW. Specifically, we first show how management interface against number of components in ICT infrastructure are integrated into single management system and how we can easily manage large ICT infrastructure. Then, we show how the behavior against management interface is logged for each connection.
