BANGALORE, INDIA: IPsoft Inc. is 'looking at cloning the manager's space and brain', and the resultant product, Virtual Manager, is likely to be launched this year.

The IPsoft researchers are looking at how the human brain is evolved and have started to 'clone' the manager, according to Chetan Dube, president and chief executive officer of the New York-based outsourced network and systems infrastructure support company.

The Virtual Manager will allow human brains focus on key strategic managed services. 'Cloning' the manager will reduce time, garner more revenue and ensure higher quality.

Additionally, IPsoft feels there will be a dearth of people to manage the information technology explosion.

Systems-managed infrastructure
"Infrastructure of tomorrow is not to be managed by people, but by expert systems," explains Dube, formerly a faculty at the New York University, where his research interests focused on deterministic finite-state computing engines.

This belief – expert systems to manage infrastructure – was the force behind founding IPsoft in 1998. "We have done a decade of research that culminated in exploring – logic and Meta reasoning and then following and preoccupation in mathematics and then culminating a design of deterministic finite state machines that truly clone a system engineers brain," he says.

On the focus of IPsoft, Dube says it is completely octagonal. "We believe that the infrastructure of tomorrow would not be managed by just replacing people with economies of scale people or cheaper people, but it would be managed by replacing people with expert systems. We maintain a factory of I-robots that are truly cloned and learn about the customer environment and are able to manage it. Fifty-six per cent are the exception in our entire client environment that is one in every 13-14 thousand companies has been revitiated autonomically without a single hand touching it."

IPsoft currently provides this as a service and only directly to its customers and partners, though a few other providers have requested license. By replacing expert systems to manage the infrastructure, the company believes lots of problems that could affect the uptime could be addressed.

Dube puts it: "Catch the problem before it affects the system." Anticipating the problem and tackling it before the systems are affected is not always possible by people, he adds.

IPsoft in India is on expansion mode and plans to triple its offices and staff in the coming three years. India is to become a hub in the APAC for IPsoft, and the India office will be one of the key centers in three-five years.

Dube, however, does not believe in concentrating the research and development activities of the company in one place. "We are combining the research efforts, rather than being in islands."
