About Resources

Resources define the technical components of a solution. A resource is a specific object in the network and in the inventory that can be consumed, referenced, or shared by a service when provisioning a resource facing service. Resources can be physical, such as a port, or logical, such as bandwidth. Examples of resources include IP addresses, VoIP phones, and DSLAM ports.

Resources are realized as Design Studio for Inventory resource entities. See Design Studio Concepts for more information about resources.
