IBM’s New Software Auto Searches and Fixes Problems

December 2, 2005

IBM announced its next set of software which automatically searches and fixes the problems. IBM introduces this self healing software and compares it to the healing tactics of the nervous system in the body which automatically heals the body without conscious thought.

The software, which includes a monitoring tool , a composite application manager and automation for multi platforms, can prevent Internet logjams, bring systems back online after power disruptions, and fix naturally occurring glitches in complex intertwined systems. The self-healing software prevents systems from slowing down and freezing before an online organization loses customer information.

IBM launched its autonomic computing initiative in 2001. It aims to simplify IT management and infrastructure by automating processes and building intelligence into systems. The new software is also part of IBM's IT Service Management Initiative, which focuses on automating and integrating IT processes throughout an enterprise. It will be sold directly through IBM and its business partners.
