The CEO of one of those companies, Singlestep Technologies, explained how having access to IBM's Autonomic Computing Toolkit had allowed his company to add enhanced autonomic functionality to its Singlestep Unity solution. "Specifically," said Chris Noble, "[it] enabled us to add deeper root cause analysis to solve problems our current customers are having. The steps IBM has taken to create these resources help companies like ours get to market faster." The toolkit, says IBM, by provides developers with "proven technology and tools" - based on industry standards - for installing, administering, debugging and resolving problems in systems. It contains embeddable components, tools, usage scenarios and documentation. It is built to work with the IBM Software Development Platform. "IBM has been working closely with the developer community to bring autonomic capabilities out into the market," said Alan Ganek, vice president, Autonomic Computing, IBM.
