endeavor

• RESERVOIR FP7 IP coordinated by IBM Research

• Next-Generation Infrastructure for Service Delivery• Resources and services can be transparently and dynamically

managed, provisioned and relocated virtually “without borders”• Realize the utility computing paradigm in commercial scenarios• Analog to electrical power delivery (utility computing)• Capacity can be shifted to guarantee supply and lower costs

• Adhere to SLA constraints via smart algorithms for placement and relocation of services (availability and scalability)

• Impact - create the basis for future service products• Enable utility-like deployment of services, relieving service

consumers from awareness of IT attributes while providing QoS and security guarantees

• CETIC is responsible for the security of the infrastructure and is dissemination and exploitation activity leader.
