Today's Information Technology (IT) operations support model is rapidly becoming untenable. According to a recent IDC study commissioned by IBM Tivoli, approximately 70% of today's IT budget is labor. Because IT is increasingly fundamental to revenue in today's technology-driven businesses and will likely continue to grow in size and complexity, companies are facing a growth versus cost dilemma. IT complexity has to be simplified, or growth will begin to be hampered by the cost required to support it. IBM Self-Managing Autonomic Technology enables fluid response to change. Autonomic computing systems have the ability to manage themselves and dynamically adapt to change in accordance with business policies and objectives, enabling computers to identify and correct problems often before they are noticed by IT personnel. IBM is delivering Self-Managing Autonomic Technology solutions to help companies transform their IT infrastructures into more resilient, responsive, efficient, and secure systems that deliver significant value today. As part of the IBM IT Service Management vision, autonomic computing can help our clients efficiently manage and proactively deliver much-needed IT services that drive business performance. Because self-managing systems can automatically detect improper operation of systems, transactions and business processes, and then initiate corrective action without negatively impacting system uptime, you can deliver information and services to your customers whenever needed.
