Abstract
A computer implemented system and method, and a computer program product, for allocating virtualized information technology resources across an enterprise. For example, a method may include accessing hierarchical enterprise information, which is information identifying a plurality of hierarchically arranged organizational units of the enterprise. The method accesses virtualized resource information, which is information identifying virtualized resource available to the enterprise. The method also accesses virtualized resource allocation information, which is information identifying one or more of the plurality of hierarchically arranged organizational units and information identifying one or more virtualized resources allocated to each of the identified one or more of the plurality of hierarchically arranged organizational units. The method may receive a virtualized resources request from one of the plurality of hierarchically arranged organizational units, which identifies one or more virtualized resources requested by the one of the plurality of hierarchically arranged organizational units. Responsive to receiving the virtualized resources request, the method determines whether provisioning each of the virtualized resources identified in the virtualized resources request does not exceed the virtualized resources allocated to the one of the plurality of hierarchically arranged organizational units from which the virtualized resource request was received. If not, the method causes the provisioning each of the virtualized resources identified in the virtualized resources request to the one of the plurality of hierarchically arranged organizational units from which the virtualized resource request was received.
