How will DCML advance utility computing?
Today, there are several key technology hurdles that prevent the realization of the utility computing promise of lower costs, higher quality and quicker responsiveness. In order to realize the utility computing vision, there are three key technologies needed – automation, virtualization and metering – in addition to the traditional IT management systems in use today. There is no one system that can provide all these aspects of utility computing across a heterogeneous environment. The key technological hurdle is that these systems are completely disjointed today. DCML will enable these systems to communicate and work with each other to enable the utility computing vision.
