Optimal assignment of clients to client-sets, resources to resource-sets, and client-sets to resource-sets in a server farm allows for periodic re-balancing of the load as client usership and concurrent-user activity fluctuate. Unique combinations of clients are generated as candidate client-sets, and historical load measurements for clients in each candidate client-set are summed. Summed loads for the candidate client-sets are compared against available resources of resource-sets. An objective function is employed to identify optimal assignment of clients to client-sets, resources to resource-sets, and client-sets to resource-sets.
A method for periodic or aperiodic software application resource allocation under one or more load-dependent resource constraints by dynamically reconfiguring assignment of one or more client organizations and their associated applications and userships as distinct combinations or client-sets, to servers in a manner whereby merits of each such combination are mathematically evaluated and ranked in advance of undertaking selection of optimal assignments or allocations, the method comprising:
A computer storage medium storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method for allocating clients to client-sets, server resources to resource-sets, and client-sets to resource-sets, the method comprising:
