Abstract

A computer implemented method and system for optimizing performance of a business IT infrastructure, wherein business objectives are obtained as input and the IT business infrastructure and/or business level components associated therewith are optimized according to the business objectives. In one embodiment, an objectives definition is created that defines business objectives and business rules determining how IT level metrics affect the business objectives and, optionally, service level agreements or other contract definitions based on the objectives definition. A runtime performance of the business objectives is determined during runtime of the business IT infrastructure by monitoring the business IT infrastructure, its compliance with the contract definitions, and the business objectives achieved by the business IT infrastructure. If a statistically significant change is detected between the runtime performance and a reference optimization of the business objectives, the business model is updated and the reference optimization of the business objectives is redetermined.
