System, method and program to automatically adjust allocation of computer resources

A computer program product for automatically adjusting allocation of processing power in a server, said server including means for monitoring utilization of said processing power in said server and reporting said utilization of said processing power to said program product, or means for monitoring availability of said processing power in said server and reporting said availability of said processing power to said program product, said computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable medium;
• first program instructions, responsive to a report that said processor utilization is above a first predetermined upper threshold or said processor availability is below a first predetermined lower threshold, to determine if said server can accommodate allocation of additional processing power, and if so, generate a request to allocate additional processing power to said server;
• and
• second program instructions, responsive to a report that said processor utilization is below a second predetermined lower threshold or said processor availability is above a second predetermined upper threshold, to determine if said server can accommodate a de allocation of processing power, and if so, generate a request to de allocate some of the currently allocated processing power from said server;
• and wherein
• said first and second program instructions are recorded on said medium.

A system for automatically adjusting allocation of memory in a server, said server including means for monitoring utilization of said memory in said server and reporting said utilization of said memory to said system, or means for monitoring availability of said memory in said server and reporting said availability of said memory to said system, said system comprising:

• means, responsive to a report that said memory availability is below a first predetermined lower threshold or said memory utilization is above a first predetermined upper threshold, for determining if said server can accommodate allocation of additional memory;
• means, responsive to a determination that said server can accommodate allocation of additional memory, for generating a request to allocate additional memory to said server;
• and
• means, responsive to a determination that said server cannot accommodate allocation of additional memory, for notifying an administrator or another system to identify another server to execute one or more applications currently executing on said server.

• second program instructions, responsive to a determination that said server can accommodate allocation of additional memory, to generate a request to allocate additional memory to said server;
• and
• third program instructions, responsive to a determination that said server cannot accommodate allocation of additional memory, to notify an administrator or another system to identify another server to execute one or more applications currently executing on said server;
• and wherein
• said first, second and third program instructions are recorded on said medium.
