Abstract :
Studies indicate that because of the difficulty and complexity, the cost of administering systems is ten times the cost of the actual hardware. ABSA is an agent-based solution to automated system administration. ABSA architecture is introduced to minimize the cost of administering computers in multi platform networks and to provide a simple, consistent, expandable, and integrated system administration tool.
