Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

These systems are limited in scale, reliability, and security. This paper published by HP proposes that dependable service configuration management is more naturally implemented by a loose federation of fully distributed and self discovering management systems that interact through controlled information exchange.
