Course details
A formal SLA between the user and the provider of the computing service is one of the keystones of today's IT and telecommunications management. SLAs are as appropriate to in-house computing, communications, development and support activities as they are to commercial or facilities management operations. By embracing the business case of the user, SLAs can help to justify the company's overall computing requirements, ease capacity planning, justify resources and establish the case for security and disaster recovery planning.
