Back in 1999, Net Integration Technologies
sold the world's first Autonomic Operating System. This was in the form
of a self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing appliance server device
that could protect itself with an automatically configured firewall. More
recently, Nitix has been separated from its "server appliance"
roots and runs on heavier-grade PC server hardware like the IBM eSeriesTM
xServer® platforms.
"IBM's vision for Autonomic Computing is truly leading the industry.
Until we partnered with IBM, we didn't see the whole picture--we were
building all-in-one servers that could manage only themselves, but nothing
more. Now, with Nitix AE, we're working with IBM to really change the
way enterprise networks are run."
— Avery Pennarun, Chief Scientist, Net Integration Technologies

Partnering with IBM, Net Integration
launched a project to integrate Nitix's autonomic technology with IBM's.
As a result, Nitix
AE (Autonomic Edition), when released in Q3' 05, will be able to host
IBM's Autonomic Management Engine (AME) and Integrated Solutions Console
(ISC), forming the hub of an autonomic network. Nitix AE systems also produce
log messages and events compatible with IBM's General Log Adapter (GLA)
and Common Base Events (CBE) standards--enabling Nitix servers to join in
and be managed on any autonomic network supporting IBM's open standards. |
