Driving the Autonomous Business with Autonomic IT

The incredible pace of innovation in artificial intelligence and machine learning is paving the way for an autonomous business model. For the first time, organizations see the possibility of a future where business operations and direction are governed by self-learning technologies, and where business leadership and management is largely driven by machines. In this world, an autonomous business can operate at unprecedented levels of speed, agility, and alignment. Autonomous enterprises can continuously adapt to changing customer demands and evolving markets, applying the right types of AI and automation across the entire customer journey.

Autonomic IT systems are the cornerstone of autonomous business, enabling organizations to increase productivity, responsiveness, and profitability. With an IT ecosystem that can monitor, optimize, and heal itself, businesses can better deliver on customer demands for always-on, always-mobile, and instantly available experiences.

For organizations that want to embrace the future of autonomous business today, the ScienceLogic AI Platform integrates generative AI, automation, and data capabilities to enable self-optimized IT environments.

What is Autonomic IT?

The term “Autonomic IT” is a nod to the human autonomic nervous system—the part of the body that automatically regulates functions like heart rate, breathing, and body temperature. Some of these functions like a beating heart work entirely on their own, while others are self-regulating but can respond dynamically to internal controls and external inputs—for example, taking a deep breath when the body needs more oxygen.

Autonomic IT regulates itself in response to stimuli in the same way. It can adapt and protect itself like a living organism. Autonomous systems can sense and analyze conditions and events, and they can understand and respond to changes in the IT environment in real time—or even before they occur. By assessing, remediating, and analyzing conditions automatically, Autonomic IT systems significantly reduce the amount of manual intervention required from IT teams.

When organizations can integrate Autonomic IT operations, they can innovate more quickly and drive value throughout the entire business. The cost to maintain healthy IT systems plummets. IT professionals can focus on strategic projects that profit the organization. Ultimately, Autonomic IT enables businesses to become more proactive in innovating offerings, meeting customer demands, pivoting as conditions change, and competing for market share.

AIOps vs. Autonomic IT

AIOps uses advanced analytics, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI), to automate operations so that ITOps teams can move with greater speed and agility. While AIOps continues to play a crucial role in digital transformation, Autonomic IT represents the next step in the AIOps journey.

The differences are remarkable:

• Guidance: AIOps requires human guidance, while Autonomic IT guides humans.
• Output: AIOps delivers technical insights. Autonomic IT delivers business solutions.
• Scope: AIOps performs a fixed range of actions. Autonomic IT is inherently extensible and can evolve with the business.
• Focus: AIOps focuses on fixing IT issues. Autonomic IT presents recommendations for IT optimization.
• Objectives: AIOps maintains current business IT state. Autonomic IT provides strategic insights and operational efficiencies to create a better business.
• Adaptation: AIOps is aware of a fixed set of device types, while Autonomic IT can adapt to support any new service or device.
