Overview of dynamic operations

Intelligent Management is built upon a virtualized infrastructure that redefines the traditional concepts of Java EE resources and applications and their relationships with one another. This application infrastructure virtualization facilitates the product's ability to automate operations in an optimal manner, increasing the quality of service. By introducing an automated operating environment with workload management, we can reduce the total cost of ownership by performing more work while using less hardware.

Increasingly, businesses are tied rigidly to the availability and speed of applications that deliver essential services to customers. Loss of availability translates into lost business, which means lost opportunity and lost revenue. To meet this need, the dynamic operations environment is a fluid and dynamic environment, enabling applications to be available continuously through application virtualization, the virtualization of WebSphere resources, provisioning of WebSphere applications, prioritization and scheduling of applications, and integrating with overall dynamic operations environment infrastructure management.

The dynamic operations environment consists of autonomic managers whose purpose is to maximize utilization using business goals that we have defined. We can monitor performance metrics, analyze the monitored data, offer a plan for executing actions, and have the capability to execute these actions in response to the flow of work.
