1. Resources are consolidated & virtualized – pooled together and accessed anywhere.- Virtual
machines – better utilization
(as opposed to physical array-boundary limitations)
2. Services are standardized & Data Mobility – selected from a service catalog.
(as opposed to customized configuration)- Vmotion
3. Provisioning is self-service – administrators use automation to allocate capacity from the
catalog.
(as opposed to manual component-level provisioning)
4. Usage is paid per use – end users are aware of the impact of their consumption and service
level choices.
