Abstract: A method and system are disclosed that enables a customer to specify when services should be provisioned on a “just-in-time” or elastic basis. By dynamically specifying when services should be received, a customer is better able to suit such services to customer needs, thereby allowing the customer to only pay for what is actually used. Using an on-demand portal, a customer may prescribe when (or the degree to which) services should be enabled, and/or when the devices that utilize those services, or the services themselves, need to be monitored. Accordingly, the customer is given flexibility to dictate when services are required or when their services or devices require monitoring by a service provider, and the service provider is given the flexibility to tailor the amount of resources required to support and manage the customer's demands, thereby enabling more efficient use of both the customer's and service provider's resources.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种方法和系统，其使得客户能够指定何时应该以“即时”或弹性的基础来提供服务。 通过动态地指定何时应该接收服务，客户能够更好地适应这种服务以满足客户的需求，从而允许客户仅支付实际使用的费用。 使用按需门户，客户可以规定什么时候（或程度的）服务应该被启用，和/或当需要监视利用这些服务的设备或服务本身时。 因此，客户可以灵活地决定何时需要服务或何时其服务或设备需要服务提供商进行监控，并且服务提供商可以灵活地定制支持和管理客户需求所需的资源量，从而 可以更有效地利用客户和服务提供商的资源。
