Resource Coordinator monitors service groups and its components and can add or subtract hardware based on business rules without user intervention.

"If a service group has too many jobs going through the system, it could make more CPUs available in response to a specific SLA," Swenson said.

Resource Coordinator and many of the other products and partnerships announced this week are designed in relation to what Jean Bozman, director at IDC called the trend toward "dynamic IT," which seeks to combine business imperatives, business processes, and IT infrastructure.

"IT needs to be more flexible and it needs to be able to change with changing business strategies," Bozman said.

In addition to the upcoming launch of Resource Center, Fujitsu unveiled an agreement among itself, BMC Software, Hewlett-Packard and IBM to create a interoperability specification and standard for CMDB (Configuration Management Database) that will give users federated access to information in a multivendor IT environment.
