System and method for risk-aware server load balancing

A method for managing server loads for an organization, comprising:

• receiving a workload from a client device;
• determining a cumulative workload value associated with the workload, the cumulative workload value indicating an importance of the workload, relative to other workloads, to success of the organization based on at least one of:
• a monetary value associated with the workload, a risk of degradation in prestige of the organization associated with the workload, or a risk of loss of customers of the organization associated with the workload;
• receiving information for a plurality of active servers in a server cluster associated with the processor, the information including a failure rate for each of the active servers and a real-time resource load status for each of the active servers;
• receiving, from a database associated with the load balancer system, a policy comprising a cumulative workload value limit for each of the active servers;
• determining risk levels associated with the active servers based on the received information;
• and
• assigning the received workload to one of the active servers based on the cumulative workload value, the received policy, and the determined risk levels.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored instructions, which when executed, cause at least one processor to perform operations for managing server loads for an organization, comprising:

• receiving a workload from a client device;
• determining a cumulative workload importance value associated with the workload, the cumulative workload value indicating an importance of the workload, relative to other workloads, to success of the organization based on at least one of:
• a monetary value associated with the workload, a risk of degradation in prestige of the organization associated with the workload, or a risk of loss of customers of the organization associated with the workload;
• receiving information for a plurality of active servers in a server cluster associated with the processor, the information including a failure rate for each of the active servers and a real-time resource load status for each of the active servers;
• receiving, from a database, a policy comprising a cumulative workload value limit for each of the active servers;
• determining risk levels associated with the active servers based on the received information;
• and
• assigning the received workload to one of the active servers based on the cumulative workload value, the received policy, and the determined risk levels.
