CONCLUSIONBlade servers can greatly improve the reliability of

business systems. Provisioning realizes swift action and efficient resource

utilization when faults and load increases occur. In order to realize provisioning, resource management

for configuration management, pool management, and automation is indispensable.

System walker Resource Coordinator offers provisioning solutions on blade servers.

In the future, provisioning solutions will have extended support ranges and these new solutions will form the basis of autonomic provisioning.
