Service-Oriented Resource Management: Optimizing Costs by Automating the Virtual Datacenter

Overview

As enterprises strive to achieve a computing infrastructure that can respond in real-time to business needs, they struggle to create a resource pool that can be shared across customers and dynamically optimized to provide necessary service levels at the lowest price. Real-Time Infrastructure (RTI) is an IT ideal that many enterprises are working toward. It synchronizes IT resources to match fluctuating service requirements, using solution categories such as automation and virtualization to provide transparent resource support and the over-provisioning of server resources. RTI enables businesses to flexibly provide optimal service levels at a justifiable cost.
