Updated Jun 2005 In an on demand business, IT professionals must strengthen the responsiveness and resiliency of service delivery -- improving quality of service while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their operating environments.Yet, information technology (IT) components produced by high-tech companies over the past decades are so complex that IT professionals are challenged to effectively operate a stable IT infrastructure.It’s the complexity of the IT components themselves that have helped fuel this problem. As networks and distributed systems grow and change, system deployment failures, hardware and software issues,and human error can increasingly hamper effective systems administration. Human intervention is required to enhance the performance and capacity of the components in an IT system, driving up overall costs -- even as technology component costs continue to decline.
Previous versions of this Blueprint have described the overall Autonomic Computing architecture. In this latest version, we describe not only the latest advances in the architecture but also offer more detailed discussions of several important topics, including: - Architectural building blocks
- The Autonomic Computing Adoption Model
- The role of the human in autonomic systems, including delegation of tasks
- New developments in standardization
