In the example in Figure 2-2 the servers are not dedicated to any tasks. All
servers are reconfigurable on demand, for different tasks within a few minutes.
As the peaks occur at different times, sufficient computing power can be supplied

IBM TotalStorage Open Software products also meet the challenge of using
Orchestration for deploying storage management.
