Descripción
Resumen:	IT has commonly focused on providing computing resources to different groups and projects. The demands vary radically from project to project and department to department, and IT is trying to make everybody happy. Utility computing is a model that can go a long way towards taming the beast, but only if it evolves to meet both technology and business needs demands. Utility computing is a model where computing resources are automatically assigned to a user on an as-needed basis. Depending on who you talk to, utility computing might be an IT management approach, a business strategy or a software/hardware tool. That is because utility computing lives or dies on the integration of its parts. Amazingly enough, utility computing might not be purely a matter for the enterprise. IT can be as complex for SMB to manage as for the enterprise. Utility computing is ultimately about how companies can make better use of all their computing resources.
