A system and method for managing information technology (IT) infrastructure by automatically adapting hardware and software resources to the dynamic real-time business requirements is disclosed. A web-enabled software application offers users a number of services in the form of business transactions. A business rule defines the backend hardware and software IT resources required to generate data responsive to a particular type of transaction. The business rule also defines priority information for the particular transaction among other transactions in a queue. The rule is deployed to the IT resources and a monitoring module monitors the use of the IT resources to ensure that it is within the set rules. When the resources are over-used or under-used an alarm is triggered. In response to the alarm, the business rule is automatically altered with a new business rule defining a different allocation of IT resources for the next similar transaction type.
