Abstract: SAF Primer containing non-normative examples of SAF symptoms,
syndromes, protocols, and prescriptions, the latter two referencing DMTF
Cloud
Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI).
TC Description :
Human experts in specific IT infrastructure and business domains possess
substantial knowledge about prevention, remediation, and optimization of
systems. However, there is a significant challenge in capturing, combining,
and
leveraging this siloed knowledge across domains.

SAF is a catalog-based XML collaborative knowledge framework that is designed
to
address these challenges by automating appropriate responses to changing
business conditions and integrating contributions from diverse domains to
provide competitive advantage. SAF has applicability in IT and business
including cloud computing, service management, governance, security, energy,
eGov, financial, emergency management, healthcare, and communications.

Cloud computing, in particular, exacerbates the separation between
consumer-based business requirements and provider-supplied IT responses. SAF
facilitates knowledge sharing across these domains, allowing consumer and
provider to work cooperatively together to ensure adequate capacity, maximize
quality of service, and reduce cost. The SAF technical committee considers
cloud
computing to be an area where the value of existing and developing standards
could be significantly enhanced using SAF.
