Abstract
According to embodiments, the present invention comprises a method and system for managing support of quality of service requirements for various clients of a telecommunications network at a server level. Servers assigned to the various clients may include quality of service descriptors that identify relative priorities of the clients. In the event of a failure or reduced performance of a server, for example, an assignment of respective servers to respective clients may be changed based on the relative priorities of the respective clients.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- (i) for a client of a data center of a telecommunications network, assigning a quality of service requirement at a server level;
- and
- (ii) managing support of said quality of service requirement at said server level.
A server for a telecommunications network, said server comprising a quality of service descriptor identifying a quality of service to be provided to a client of said network server.
A data center in a telecommunications network, said data center comprising a plurality of servers, each server including a quality of service descriptor identifying a quality of service to be provided to a client of said data center.
A machine-readable medium tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions, which when executed implement a process comprising:
- (i) maintaining client priority information for a plurality of clients of a data center of a network service, each of said clients being assigned at least one server;
- (ii) re-assigning clients to different servers based on said priority information.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of servers each having an interface to a network and a quality of service descriptor identifying a quality of service to be provided to a client of a respective server;
- and
- a managing server comprising:
- computer-executable instructions stored in a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to said memory to execute said instructions;
- wherein said instructions are configured to:
- maintain client priority information for a plurality of clients of said plurality of server computers based on priority information in said quality of service descriptors;
- and
- perform a reassignment of clients to different servers based on said priority information.
