Summary

Application optimization is the second level of strategic flexibility in the functional architecture of the N1 Grid system. That architecture is requirements driven and solution focused. The solution required to achieve complete application optimization is delivered through the hierarchical building-block architecture of build, virtualize, and provision:

  • Build (leveraging the foundation of infrastructure optimization)

  • Virtualize (improving the flexibility and utilization of applications and services through abstraction)

  • Provision (delivering application optimization through the automated installation of service components)

This chapter presented this hierarchical architecture as delivering value through efficiency. TABLE 9-1 summarizes ...
