Autonomic Computing: Department of Computer Sciences Yoganandha Institute of Technology & Science, Tirupati

The document discusses autonomic computing, which aims to build self-managing IT infrastructures that can configure, heal, optimize, and protect themselves with minimal human intervention. This allows IT professionals to focus on more complex projects instead of routine maintenance tasks. Autonomic systems sense problems and proactively address issues before humans detect them. IBM is a major proponent of autonomic computing and has released standards-based tools and components to support its adoption.

AUTONOMIC COMPUTING

M.S.Sunil (094P1A0533) Project Guide: L.Lavanya, M.Tech. Project coordinator: G.Bharath Kumar, M.Tech. Department of computer sciences Yoganandha Institute of Technology & Science, Tirupati.

ABSTRACT:
Autonomic computing is the technology that is building self-managing IT infrastructures hardware and software that can configure, heal, optimize, and protect itself. By taking care of many of the increasingly complex management requirements of IT systems, autonomic computing allows human and physical resources to concentrate on actual business issues. The term autonomic computing derives from the body's autonomic nervous system, controlling functions like heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygen levels without a person's conscious awareness or involvement. The goal is to realize the promise of IT: increasing productivity while minimizing complexity for users. We are pursuing this goal on many technological fronts as we actively develop computing systems capable of running themselves with minimal human intervention. Complicated tasks associated with the ongoing maintenance and management of computing systems, autonomic computing technology will allow IT workers to focus their talents on complex, bigpicture projects that require a higher level of thinking and planning. This is the ultimate benefit of autonomic computing: freeing IT professionals to drive creativity, innovation, and opportunity. Autonomic systems are being created in this manner to recognize external threats or internal problems and then take measures to automatically prevent or correct those issues before humans even know there is a problem. These systems are also being designed to manage and proactively improve their own performance, all of which frees IT staff to focus their real intelligence on big-picture projects.

INTRODUCTION:
The high-tech industry has spent decades creating computer systems with ever mounting degrees of complexity to solve a wide variety of business problems. Ironically, complexity itself has become part of the problem. As networks and distributed systems grow and change, they can become increasingly hampered by system deployment failures, hardware and software issues, not to mention human error. Such scenarios in turn require further human intervention to enhance the performance and capacity of IT components. This drives up the overall IT costseven though technology component costs continue to decline. As a result, many IT professionals seek ways to improve their return on investment in their IT infrastructure, by reducing the total cost of ownership of their environments while improving the quality of service for users.Self managing computing helps address the complexity issues by using technology to manage itself. Self managing computing is also known as autonomic computing.

Autonomic - Pertaining to an on demand operating environment that responds automatically to problems, security threats, and system failures. Autonomic computing - A computing environment with the ability to manage itself and dynamically adapt to change in accordance with business policies and objectives. Self-managing environments can perform such activities based on situations they observe or sense in the IT environment rather than requiring IT professionals to initiate the task. These environments are self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-protecting. ^ The promise of Autonomic Computing includes capabilities unknown in traditional products and toolsets. It includes the capacity not just to take automated action, but to do so based on an innate ability to sense and respond to change. Not just to execute rules but to continually normalize and optimize environments in real time. Not just to store and execute policies, but to incorporate self-learning and self-managing capabilities. It is a landscape that eases the pain of taking IT into the future, by shifting mundane work to technology and freeing up humans for work that more directly impacts business value. .

IBM

is

making

substantial

investment in the autonomic concept and has released its first wave of standards-based components, tools and knowledge capital. IBM offers a wide array of service offerings, backed by methodology and tools, which enable and support the adoption of Autonomic Computing. Autonomic capabilities are critical to businesses with large and complex IT environments, those using Web Services and/or Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) models, and those that leverage ebusiness or e-commerce. They are also key enablers for smaller businesses seeking to take advantage of current technologies, because they help mask

complexity by simplifying infrastructure management.

CONCLUSION:
The autonomic concept has been adopted by today's leading vendors and incorporated into their products. Aware that success is tied to interoperability, many are participating in the

standards development necessary to provide the foundation for self-managing technological

ecosystems, and are integrating standards into their technology.
