A company that uses cloud services wants to be better equipped to handle surges in demand. What kind of capacity provisioning should the company request from its cloud provider?

If a company needs additional cloud resources on demand, they should ask for metered utilization, which entails a cloud service billing as resources are consumed, just like a utility would. Hardware and networking in the cloud are referred to as infrastructure as a service (IaaS). In cloud computing, the term "resource pooling" refers to resources that are pooled and delivered to numerous clients as needed. Rapid metering is not an IT term.
