Chapter 8. Autonomic computing 153
An orchestrating autonomic manager coordinates multiple touchpoint
autonomic managers of the same type (one of self-configuring, self-healing,
self-optimizing, or self-protecting).
Orchestrating across disciplines
An orchestrating autonomic manager coordinates touchpoint autonomic
managers that are a mixture of self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing,
and self-protecting.
An example of an orchestrating autonomic manager is a workload manager. An
autonomic management system for workload might include self-optimizing
touchpoint autonomic managers for particular resources, as well as orchestrating
autonomic managers that manage pools of resources. A touchpoint autonomic
manager can optimize the utilization ...
