Business objective based resource management

Enterprises today wish to manage their IT resources so as to optimize business objectives, such as income, rather than IT metrics, such as response times. Therefore, we introduce a new paradigm, which focuses on such business objective oriented resource management. Additionally, we define a general simulation-based autonomous process enabling such optimizations, and describe a case study, demonstrating the usefulness of such a process. Categories & Subject Descriptors: C.4 [Performance of Systems]: Modeling techniques and Performance attributes. I.6 [Simulation and Modeling]: I.6.3 Applications and I.6.4 Model Validation and Analysis. General Terms: Management, Measurement, Performance, Economics.
