  • Scalability ?: When utility computing is to be used, it must have to be ensured that under all conditions sufficient IT resources are available. Increased demand for a service should not suffer its delivery.
  • Usage dependent price ?: So far, companies have to buy hardware and software when they need processing power. This IT infrastructure must be paid in advance. In utility computing, however, the costs depend on the use of IT services.
  • Standardized Services ?: The provider offers a catalog of standardized services. These can be at different service-level agreements to be linked.
  • Virtualization ?: This allows IT resources to share, and virtualization techniques are used.
  • Automation : Repetitive administration tasks, such as setting up a new server or the installation of updates will be automated in?Utility Computing.
