The problems that normally attend the development and deployment of a computer system solution are reduced by employing patterns and virtual images in the development and deployment process. When information had been acquired about a data processing need to be met, pattern representing a generalized solution to that need is selected. A set of previously-developed virtual images supporting the selected pattern is chosen. Once information representing the specific need is received, the selected pattern is modified to represent a specific solution. Parameters are obtained for the specific solution and a set of scripts integrating the parameters is generated. The scripts are used to reconfigure the virtual images. The reconfigured virtual images are combined into a computer system solution that can be loaded and run with little or no further configuration.
