  • Multidimensional modeling of software offerings
    Patent number: 8667139
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the deployment and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains a service definition of the software offering and a resource definition of resources available for use by the software offering. Next, the system creates a multidimensional model of the software offering by mapping a first set of elements from the service definition to a second set of elements from the resource definition. Finally, the system uses the multidimensional model to manage the deployment and execution of the software offering without requiring manual configuration of the resources by a user.

  • Automatic provisioning of resources to software offerings
    Patent number: 8589557
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the deployment and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains a service definition of the software offering. Next, the system creates a work-breakdown structure based on a set of policies from the service definition. Finally, the system uses the work-breakdown structure to automatically provision a set of resources for use by the software offering without requiring manual configuration of the resources by a user.
