Description
"Workload virtualization is made of several disciplines: job/workflow scheduling,
workload management, and provisioning. Much work has been spent so far on these
various components in isolation. A better synergistic integration of these
components allowing their interoperability towards an optimized resource allocation
in order to satisfy user specified service level objectives is necessary. Other
challenges in the grid space deal with being able to allow meta-scheduling and
adaptive/dynamic workflow scheduling. In this talk, we present IBM strategic
directions in the workload virtualization area. We also
briefly introduce our current product portfolio in that space and describe how it
may evolve over time, based on customer requirements and additional business value
their satisfaction could provide them."
