Now, a team of top IBM researchers introduces the latest innovations in policies and autonomic computing and demonstrates how to put them to work in your organization. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe authors cover the entire policy lifecycle: planning, definition, representation in standard policy languages, validation, distribution, enforcement, and more. They identify proven patterns for designing policy-enabled self-managing systems and show how policies can be integrated into a complete framework for system self management. They carefully introduce key technologies such as rules engines and the IBM Policy Management framework, as well as emerging standards such as the DMTF’s Common Information Model. Finally, they offer start-to-finish case studies of policy management in areas ranging from storage and IP networking to security. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis book’s insights and practical guidance will be invaluable to every IT \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eprofessional who can benefit from policies: architects, developers, administrators, researchers, and managers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCoverage includes \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding the life cycle and components of policy-based self-managing systems   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifying your best opportunities to drive value from policies   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefining the most appropriate abstraction level for your policies   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing the DMTF’s Common Information Model to establish the logical structure and contents of policies   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValidating the consistency and appropriateness of your policies   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking your policies automatically enforceable by computer   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing policies to simplify and streamline configuration management for SANs and other IT systems   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproving availability by implementing policies that can automatically react to faults and error conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pearson Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119723036912,"sku":"9780137008179","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780137008179_p0.jpg?v=1763642072","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780137008179","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
