2.6: Process and Technology Components

Tune process and technology components to maximize efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Other Information:

Implications to the IT organization -- Cloud computing allows IT departments and COSs to tune process and technology components to maximize efficiency and cost effectiveness. Applications, compute resources, storage, and networking can be shifted from lower priority applications to those of higher priority--at any time. This shift is regulated by a set of business rules for each application service formulated into a Service Level Agreement (SLA) and accessible through the Service Integration Models described above. Based upon a given business event, the infrastructure can respond by adding, shifting, or removing compute power.
