Workshop 5a, 20 October 2005 eChallenges e-2005 Copyright 2005 University of Stuttgart, HLRS
SLAs in Virtual Organisations
• Identification
– Customer can query whether the service provider is of interest or
not (on basis of published SLA templates)
• Negotiation
– Negotiation of the individual parameters of SLA Template
• E.g. 10 GB storage for 20 € per month 90 € for 100 GB
storage
– Signing process after reached agreement
– Maintenance of SLA copy for later reference

SLAs in Virtual Organisations
• Monitoring
– SLA document specifies (system) parameters for electronical
supervision
– Usage of tools like WMI or Ganglia to monitor usual parameters
• 10 CPUs with each 5 GHz are always available
– SLAs allow covering more complex terms Respective data
provision is needed to enable autonomous management
– Comparison of provided values with the agreed SLA
– Identification of contract breaches and notification of customer and
service provider to take actions

SLAs in Virtual Organisations
• Management
– SLAs may define what actions have to be performed in case of a
contract breach
• Worst-case (provider) replacement
– Advantage: possibility of violation-prevention on
the service providers side
• Billing
– Information provided by SLA may be used for billing purposes
– Two possibilities:
• Storing it in a log for later calculation
• Immediate Charging
