As the computing environment becomes ever more complex and the volume of data processing mushrooms, data processing problems are growing exponentially. The challenge is not to try to eradicate such faults, but to ensure processes are executed on time despite faults occurring. Automating the problem resolution process needs to be an integral component of any contingency planning and problem resolution strategy. 

Information technology has been through a profound transformation over the last two decades, in terms of both software and hardware architecture. One of the most significant changes is surely the increasing criticality of IT, which has switched from being a "cost center" to a "competitive advantage". However, the complexity of computer environments and this new strategic position are forcing thoroughgoing adjustments so that business players can work together efficiently to achieve companies' goals.

ORSYP questioned worldwide prospect organisations ranging from major banks and financial institutions to retailers, about which factors were the most constant frustrations for them in managing their IT operations. The key question asked was 'what is the most significant pain for you in ensuring that your IT operations are managed successfully on a daily basis? While many of the findings were predictable, one point was clear: human factors and the dynamic nature of business operations will always represent potential problems for the management of IT operations; the upside is that much of this pain is avoidable, or at the very least proper planning and more powerful systems management software can reduce the pain considerably. 

As the economy continues to be erratic, some companies are using this time to address fundamental infrastructure issues. Job Scheduling is a discipline an area where you can get relatively short-term ROI impact. 

This white-paper introduces and explains different concepts linked to dynamic processor resource allocation for AIX LPARs and sheds light on the complexity that result from the abundance of available configuration possibilities.
