Cloud Capacity Provisioning |
Cloud bursting provides additional (and seamless) system resources to clients running analyses so that they can continue working, unconstrained by on-premises resource capacity. The cloud service is contracted through a third-party provider. Touchstone only supports turning nodes on and off and bursting jobs based on established policies.
Administrators can establish only one set of provisioning parameters. Provisioning applies to all business units. |
Use the settings in the Cloud Capacity Provisioning pane to establish cloud provisioning.
