Abstract

A system and method can deploy and manage software services in virtualized and non-virtualized environments. The system provides an enterprise application virtualization solution that allows for centralized governance and control over software and Java applications. The system uses a plurality of agents to manage the software processes and resources running in the computing environment. The system also uses a controller to collect data from the agents about the current operating performance of the computing environment and to deploy the services in a way that best honors the service level agreements of all deployed services. The communication between each of the plurality of agents and the controller is secured with a mutual authentication method.
