AUTONOMIC COMPUTING AND EDGE COMPUTING
It is estimated that 30 - 50% of a firm’s total IT Budget spent on preventing or recovering from System crashes.
About 40% of these crashes caused by Operator errors. The reason for crash is not because Operators are not well trained or do not have the right capabilities. Rather, it is because the complexity of today’s Computer Systems make them too difficult to understand, and IT Operators and Managers are under pressure to make decisions about problems in seconds.
One approach to dealing with this problem is to employ Autonomic Computing.
Autonomic Computing is an industry-wide effort to develop Computer Systems that can configure themselves, optimize and tune themselves, heal themselves when broken, and protect themselves from outside intruders and self-destruction.
A few of Autonomic Computing capabilities are present in Desktop Operating Systems. e.g. Virus and Firewall Protection Software can detect viruses on PCs, automatically defeat the viruses, and alert operators.
