Arjuna Agility™ is a 'federated cloud computing platform' designed to improve business agility through a more flexible infrastructure approach. Federated, because Agility™ is constructed from IT resources that are assigned by autonomous, cooperating, business parties within and beyond the enterprise.
Whilst trust and power are real organizational barriers to resource sharing, Agility™ provides a controlled way for the enterprise to organically grow its 'internal cloud'. Resource owners retain control by attaching policy to the assigned resource which describes the conditions under which it can be shared by Agility™. Once assigned and subject to policy, Agility™ dynamically provisions the resource pool to meet the changing IT demands of the business.
Without Agility deployed
Traditional infrastructure is dominated by IT silos making the business vulnerable to a variety of risks including preformance degredation, unexpected high demand and catastrophic failure. Inflexible IT infrastructure prevents a business from reacting immediately to these problems and it must suffer the inevitable consequences of time consuming manual intervention.
With Agility deployed
Agility™ is designed to sense and respond to these problems by monitoring service level agreements and dynamically provisioning additional resource to maintain the agreed performance level when problems arise.
Agility™ maximises the return on existing IT investment and provides the flexibility and speed of delivery that enterprises need in order to effectively respond to business threats and opportunities as they arise.
