    摘要: A method of benchmarking a sustainability for service providers using a program having executable computer-readable instructions first includes selecting a plurality of service providers to evaluate for sustainability. A report is received from each of the selected service providers which includes at least one reported value characteristic having a value metric and at least one reported cost characteristic having a cost metric. The reported cost and value characteristics are compared to select at least one common value characteristic and at least one common cost characteristic each of which is common among the selected service providers. A service sustainability relationship is then computed as a function of the at least one common value characteristic and the at least one common cost characteristic to benchmark the sustainability of each of the selected service providers relative to one another.

    摘要: In a method for estimating a metric related to a service demand, a framework to be used in evaluating a services ecosystem or a services infrastructure is defined. The framework comprises a matrix of elements, in which the elements comprise a plurality of services and a plurality of services components that are usable in delivering at least one of the plurality of services. In addition, dependencies between the matrix elements are determined using initialization data and the metric related to the service demand is estimated through use of the framework.

    摘要: A method for managing a cloud using a cloud controller and a sustainability metrics manager having executable computer-readable instructions stored on a database first includes receiving a request from a cloud user to implement a new cloud service having at least one service characteristic. Once the request is received, the controller computes a prediction of a first sustainability impact based on the service characteristic for an implementation of the cloud service on a high quality of service (QoS) server operating in the cloud, and also computes a prediction of a second sustainability impact based on the service characteristic for an implementation of the cloud service on a high sustainability server operating in the cloud. The controller then presents the first and second predicted sustainability impacts to the cloud user so that the cloud user can make an informed decision with regard to the new cloud service request.

    摘要: In a method for generating a resource management plan for an infrastructure, a resource supply available from a combination of resource sources is determined, an operation of the infrastructure in performing an objective using the determined supply of resources is simulated, in which the simulation is to simulate resource demand of a plurality of infrastructure components in performing the objective, a metric(s) associated with operating the infrastructure based upon the simulation is determined, a determination as to whether the metric(s) satisfies a predetermined goal(s) is made, the resources supplied and/or the simulation of the resource demand of the plurality of infrastructure components is modified in response to the at least one metric failing to satisfy the predetermined goal(s), and a resource management plan for the infrastructure that has been determined to result in the metric(s) satisfying the predetermined goal(s) is generated.
