Jiro is the registered name used by Sun Microsystems for an extension to Java and Jini.
Jiro as an industry initiative, along with an EMC initiative called "Wide Sky" were catalysts in the late nineties for a common interface to storage devices, leading to the Bluefin specification, subsequently donated to the SNIA for the foundation of the SMI-S industry standard.
Jiro was established by Sun in 1998[1] subsequent to acquiring a small company called Redcape Policy Software. Initially known by the moniker "StoreX,"[2] this technology was targeted at storage management. Jiro in many ways was a management oriented extension to Jini, leveraging many of Jini's ideas and capabilities for automatic detection of elements to be managed. Jiro was a Management Framework infrastructure based on a distributed runtime environment. It was standardized as JSR 9 by the Java Community Process.
Jiro never gained the broad industry support necessary for success, because every device had to have a custom adapter (or Management Facade), and it was withdrawn from the market in 2001. Though never gaining commercial or industry acceptance, Jiro was one of the precursors to the development of the Storage Networking Industry Association's (SNIA) Storage Management Initiative (SMI) SNIA SMI Home Page , which has been seen as successful in promoting the use of open standards for storage management. Mark Carlson (one of the first employees at Redcape) led this effort based on his experience at Sun Microsystems as a Jiro developer and evangelist. By 2005, most large storage systems providers had announced adoption of SNIA's SMI specifications within their storage management products. The SNIA has now embarked on a project to standardize Management Frameworks along the lines of the earlier Jiro project using web services to communicate between standard service components.
Jiro Implements an infrastructure for creating integrated and automated management software in a distributed, cross-platform environment. Jiro makes use of Jini technology for allowing services come and go in network.
Jiro introduces a middle tier of management between the client/GUI and other Java-based agent technologies such as JMX and JDMK. This middle tier is where the automation of management take place.
Jiro divides a management environment into domains. Each domain only a shared management server (a Java Virtual Machine running Jiro services) that represents the domain as a whole. Other other private management server can host management services that are specific to their host.

Yoshihito Wayama (和山 義仁 Wayama Yoshihito, born October 17, 1972 in Hakodate, Hokkaidō), better known by his stage name JIRO, is a Japanese musician. He is best known as the bassist of the rock band Glay. He is also the bassist in the sideband The Predators.
Jiro grew up the only son out of four children, his father a carpenter. Jiro used to be a guitarist in his first bands, and only picked up the bass when he joined the indie band "Pierrot" in Hakodate (different from the well-known band of the same name). Jiro first became familiar with Takuro and the rest of GLAY as they attended another high school in the same town, and were mutually involved in the local indie scene. In 1992, Pierrot moved to Tokyo to expand their career, but disbanded shortly after. He states that during this time he owned nothing other than what he had carried in his backpack when traveling from Hakodate, and had walked part of the journey to save money. Jiro worked in construction in Tokyo before being invited by Takuro to join Glay. At first he declined due to his doubts about a stable career in music but as Takuro insisted, he agreed to play one concert with them. He ended up staying in the band afterward. When asked his name after one of his early gigs with the band, he was reluctant to reveal his given name which he felt was "uncool" and spontaneously chose the pseudonym "Jiro" which he continued to use as a stage name and nickname from that point onward.

Donne-moi un sourire pareil
A celui que je veux donner
Il sera le nouveau soleil
D'un monde ? inventer
Des milliers d'oiseaux migrateurs
De leurs ailes tracent le chemin
De libert? et de bonheur
Aux hommes qui na?tront demain
{Refrain:}
Vivre libre de tout mon pass?
Vivre libre pour te rencontrer
Vivre libre, vivre libres toi et moi
Vivre libre, d'amour, de folie
Vivre libre, tu n'as qu'une vie
Vivre libre, vivre libre c'est ma vie
Donnes-moi un amour pareil
A celui que je peux donner
Et nous pourrons changer le ciel
Contre l'?ternit?
Ils ?taient xxxxxxxxx
Si le froid est ? fleur de c?ur
Tu te trouveras au bout de la mer
Dans les pays de fleurs
