The Service Availability Forum and Open Specification Solutions

This whitepaper outlines how the Service Availability Solution is addressing the current challenges in our industry. In the last decade there has been a continued paradigm shift from a vertical to a horizontal industry model as equipment manufacturers must build a variety of systems, and ISVs must develop applications that achieve the highest possible levels of availability and dependability while contending with ever-shorter development cycles, constant pressure to reduce development costs, and increase their velocity to market.

This paper explains the context and need for widespread adoption of standard Service Availability interfaces, describes the Service Availability Forum solution, and identifies the benefits that an open, standard Service Availability interface will provide.
