Distributed Autonomic Approach to IT Service Management
4 likes784 views
This document proposes an autonomic management framework to address challenges in IT service management. It discusses concepts like autonomic computing and the ITIL framework for IT service management. It then proposes a software framework for a sensor and actuator layer that would enable generation, deployment, discovery and management of sensors and actuators. This would help automate monitoring, control and management of complex IT systems and services in line with business policies.

Drivers for Change Modern Expectations Higher availability -- near-100% availability on 24x7 delivery basis (Availability Management) Higher malleability -- organic change, and just-in-time growth and adaptation ( Capacity Management) Allowing flexible system up scaling without sacrificing performance, availability or maintainability Lower maintainability and administration requirements ( Availability Management) 80% IT budgets spent on applications operation, maintenance and post production retro-fitting, etc. (Forrester survey, 2006). Higher survivability for business continuity (Service Continuity Management) Service outages are frequent and costly 65% of IT managers report that their websites were unavailable to customers over a 6-mth period 25% indicate 3 or more outages outage costs are high
