1.2.3 Closed Loop versus Open Loop
Open loop systems have many disadvantages due to their lack of feedback from the system. With feedback in a closed loop system, you can more closely manage the state of the system relative to preferred goals, such as staying within an SLA or providing an appropriate end-user experience. Closed loop systems provide several advantages over open loop systems:
*Disturbance rejection from unforeseen increases in user load.
*Predictable performance with uncertain service models when a user does not know exactly how the service scales relative to user workload.
*Improved reference tracking where resource allocation can closely track what is needed to provide SLA compliance without over-provisioning.
Closed loop systems are recommended because of these benefits.
