System Definition Model (SDM) SDK

The System Definition Model (SDM) provides a critical technology component of the long-term Dynamic Systems Initiative (DSI) roadmap that will make IT systems dramatically easier—and orders of magnitude less costly—to develop, deploy, and operate. It will provide the unifying thread enabling integrated innovation from Microsoft and our partners across application development tools, operating systems, applications, hardware, and management tools. Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Architects is a core deliverable of the DSI, which leverages the SDM to allow developers and architects to define service-oriented applications that will be configured into systems for deployment. Using the SDM SDK, you can extend the models included with the Distributed System Designers in Visual Studio 2005 Team System, which use SDM to model and validate distributed application systems for deployment into logical datacenter configurations. The System Definition Model SDK is part of the Visual Studio 2005 SDK.

Download the Visual Studio 2005 SDK - October 2005 The System Definition Model (SDM) SDK is a set of tools, samples, and documentation for authoring SDM models for applications, logical servers, endpoints, resources, settings, and constraints that can be used to extend the models included with the Distributed System Designers in Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Architects. This download contains supporting documentation and samples for using the SDM SDK tools found in the Visual Studio 2005 SDK.
