TECH LABORATORIES INCORPORATES AUTONOMIC COMPUTING INTO DynaTrax

Tech Laboratories Inc announced the adoption of autonomic computing technologies incorporated in IBM's Autonomic Computing Toolkit into DynaTraX.

"The adoption of key autonomic computing technologies and becoming a part of the IBM autonomic vision is a milestone event for our company and its shareholders," said Bernard M. Ciongoli, president of Tech Laboratories Inc. "Our autonomic computing management solution is now generally available to our customer base through our sales channels."

"IBM is committed to working with companies like Tech Laboratories to incorporate autonomic computing technologies based on open standards into their products," said David Bartlett, director of Autonomic Computing at IBM. "IBM is making these technologies available as part of our Autonomic Computing Toolkit on developerWorks to accelerate adoption in the industry."

DynaTraX technology has now been enabled to operate with the IBM Autonomic Computing Toolkit. This enablement embraces the Autonomic Computing models, which are the building block for monitoring and healing its core components. This Autonomic management continually monitors the DynaTraX Technology environment, generates events in the Common Base Event format, analyses the information received, and by utilizing the Autonomic Management Engine, executes a response based on a plan. This controlled environment allows DynaTraX Technology to be a dynamic solution to today's next-generation networks.

Tech Laboratories has enabled its DynaTraX Autonomic Self Healing (DASH) Web services to interoperate with technologies in IBM's Autonomic Computing Toolkit.

DASH Web Services Integration provides a centralized application management schema that both transcends third-party management applications and also integrates tightly with them. This abstraction allows for maximum flexibility without the loss of control. This Web-based management platform has the ability to adapt to most any type of management schema.

"Data networks are expanding rapidly to provide interconnection between wide ranges of computing resources from the public internet to corporate intranets, from private servers to global services and physical infrastructure networks to wireless networks," said Ciongoli. "Managing and monitoring the resources is a laborious task against the cost of local and remote operations, which figures exclude productivity, potential revenues losses and theft of intellectual property. Using autonomic solutions for infrastructure management will afford customers to have control of their network activities thus reducing the cost of ownership and increasing the response time it takes to keep systems in service while protecting their valuable assets and intellectual property."
