Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for provisioning a virtual server. An identification of an operating system, a server name, a number of processors, a memory amount, and a disk storage amount is received, and a virtual server is provisioned by provisioning a number of processors, an amount of memory, and an amount of storage resources based on the identified number of processors, the identified memory amount, and the identified disk storage amount. Resource usage of the virtual server is monitored, and additional resources for the virtual server are provisioned if burst resource usage mode is enabled for the virtual server.
