A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

• Systems that install, heal, protect themselves and adapt to your needs —automatically
• Using autonomic computing to reduce costs, improve services, and enhance agility
• Autonomic components, architectures, standards, and development tools
• Planning for and implementing autonomic technology
• Current autonomic solutions from IBM and other leading companies

Reducing IT costs, improving service, and enabling the "on-demand" business

IT operations costs are accelerating, and today's increasingly complex architectures and distributed computing infrastructures only make matters worse. The solution: autonomic computing. Autonomic systems are self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-protecting. They operate intelligently and dynamically, acting on your policies and service requirements. This book presents everything IT leaders and managers need to know to prepare for autonomic computing—and to begin leveraging its benefits. Coverage includes:

• How autonomic computing can reduce costs, improve service levels, enhance agility, simplify management, and help deliver the "on demand" business
• The key elements and attributes of autonomic computing systems
• Current autonomic technologies from IBM and many other leading suppliers
• Autonomic computing architectures, open standards, development tools, and enablers
• Implementation considerations, including a new assessment methodology
• The future of autonomic computing: business opportunities and research challenges

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book introduces Autonomic Computing. This concept is a cornerstone of IBM's strategic initiative, and it offers great promise because autonomic computing systems have the ability to manage themselves and dynamically adapt to change in accordance with evolving or dynamic business policies and objectives. The term "autonomic" comes from the autonomic nervous system, which controls many organs and muscles in the human body. These systems can perform management activities based on situations they observe or sense in the IT environment. Rather than IT professionals initiating management activities, the system observes something about itself and acts accordingly. This allows the IT professional to focus on high-value tasks while the technology manages the more mundane operations. This book explains how this can be made to happen and the changes that need to be made to make it happen.
