Self-healing A system is self-healing to the extent that it monitors its own platform, detects errors or situations that may later manifest themselves as errors, and automatically initiates remediation. ReSOFT examples Print queue problem management Service re-start Date and change management Disk capacity threshold triggered file clean-up Leverage ReSOFT competitive advantage. The key is to identify problems where automation delivers the greatest value. 10/07/09 Proprietary and Confidential to HandsFree Networks

Self-optimizing A system is self-optimizing to the extent that it automatically optimizes its use of its own resources. This optimization must be done with respect to criteria relevant to the needs of a specific user, his or her peer group, and the enterprise.
