  • Outcome-based workload configurations for information technology environments
    Patent number: 11695624
    Abstract: A method and system for outcome-based workload configurations for IT environments. Existing solutions directed to implementing multi-tier configurations on bare-metal IT infrastructure tend to require specialized tools and skills on a tier-by-tier basis. A more unified approach, where a single or singleton configuration that defines and implements the desired state (or outcome) of one or more tiers, is sought and thus proposed. Within this disclosure, implementation of workload deployment policies, is emphasized.
