IBM New Software Brings Autonomic Computing to Grids

IBM has announced new self-managing autonomic software, which the company claims changes the way organisations manage Grid computing environments. The software dubbed Batch-on-Grid, enables organisations to continue operating during system failures, natural disasters or while complex applications are being updated across a Grid environment.

IBM said the new software automatically accommodates spikes and lulls in computing workload the amount of work a system is handling at any given time by allocating servers on the fly, helping ensure IT systems run around the clock.

Batch-on-Grid creates batch workloads within Grid computing environments, and then uses autonomic technology to automatically schedule and balance those workloads, which delivers capacity when needed and lowers costs.

According to the company, the software can operate within a service oriented architecture (SOA), so it can balance computing workloads in the most complex, heterogeneous IT environments for virtually any type of application or computing job.
