AUTONOMIC PROVISIONING OF HOSTED APPLICATIONS WITH LEVEL OF ISOLATION TERMS

摘要

7. ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION ABSTRACT A method and a system are described that involve autonomic provisioning of hosted applications with level of isolation terms. In one embodiment, the system includes an infrastructure registry to provide a set of heterogeneous infrastructure resources, an autonomic provisioning service unit to select a subset of the heterogeneous infrastructure resources, (the subset of resources to fulfill a service level agreement (SLA) with a corresponding level of isolation), and a monitoring unit to collect information about the subset of resources and send the collected information to the autonomic provisioning service unit. In another embodiment, the method includes providing a set of heterogeneous infrastructure resources, selecting a subset of the set of heterogeneous infrastructure resources, the subset of heterogeneous infrastructure resources is defined in a configuration template to fulfill a service level agreement (SLA) with a corresponding level of isolation, and allocating the subset of infrastructure resources in the registry.
