Management as a Service (MaaS) is a viable
alternative to complex management platforms, freeware and
shareware tools at the disposal of system administrations.
MaaS provides a framework where management solutions are
delivered as services. However there is a critical need
for managing data among the services that MaaS could support.
Through MDaaS (Management Data as a Service)
we addresses the data needs of MaaS services by opening
up feeds buried deeply in existing management solutions.
The value of our approach in the context of a performance
analysis solution considered in general as an essential

in web 2.0 – RSS and RESTful web services so as to
simplify monitoring data transfer among management web services
and thereby support creation of newer composite services
