Framework for Platform-Based Dynamic Resource Provisioning
Dynamic Resource Provisioning: To ensure availability and high performance and reduce the total cost of ownership, data center system clusters will need to utilize dynamic provisioning techniques for load balancing and resource backup. Read this free Intel article to learn more about the issues and advantages of this data center architecture.

High performance computing (HPC) installations and enterprise data centers often utilized server clusters for application scalability as well as system reliability, availability, and service-ability (RAS) demands. Future systems will require the same or tougher RAS constraints, but the cost and complexity of maintaining these system clusters will be compounded by increasing application and platform complexity and system cluster sizing. To insure availability and high performance as well as to help reduce the TCO (total cost of ownership), these clusters will need dynamic provisioning methods that can delicately balance work-loads as well as deal with any resource failures. This Intel paper details the advantages and issues of a data center provisioning architecture.
