Abstract
A utility computing platform includes a virtualization control system coupled to physical server, disk drive and networking resources and configured to partition the physical resources into virtual resources including virtual processor, memory and storage resources. The utility computing platform comprises a customer console application coupled to the virtualization control system, and accessible via an Internet connection to a customer computing system operating a web browser interface. The customer console application enables the customer, through the web browser interface, to create and manage one or more virtual servers within a customer environment by associating an amount of virtual processor, memory and storage resources with the one or more virtual servers.
