System for live-migration and automated recovery of applications in a distributed system

Computer software which, when executed by appropriate processing means, causes the processing means to implement a system for dynamic migration of applications between servers, the system comprising:

• a plurality of servers comprising a master server and one or more slave servers, applications host on said master server, a protocol handler configured to receive requests for the applications, and master logic configured to replicate changes in application data hosted on the master server to the one or more slave servers;
• and
• a load balancer configured to measure load on the master server caused by the plurality of applications, and initiate a migration of an application from the master server to a slave server when the load of the master server is greater than a predetermined threshold, wherein the load balancer identifies a maximally loaded application, from among the applications hosted on the master server, based on site traffic, and selects a different application than the maximally loaded application for migration from among the applications hosted on the master server.
