Abstract
A method of operating a resource management node includes, for each of a plurality of resources available in a plurality of distributed computing systems, determining a productive spend metric based on utilization of the resource and cost associated with making the resource available in the distributed computing system. Relocation of workload of selected ones of the resources between the plurality of distributed computing systems is controlled based on the productive spend metrics determined for the selected ones of the resources. Related computer program products and resource management nodes are disclosed.

A method of operating a resource management node comprising:
- for each of a plurality of resources available in a plurality of distributed computing systems, determining a productive spend metric based on utilization of the resource and cost associated with making the resource available in the distributed computing system;
- controlling relocation of workload of selected ones of the resources between the plurality of distributed computing systems based on the productive spend metrics determined for the selected ones of the resources.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in the medium, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable code to, for each of a plurality of resources available in a plurality of distributed computing systems, determine a productive spend metric based on utilization of the resource and cost associated with making the resource available in the distributed computing system;
- and
- computer readable code to control relocation of workload of selected ones of the resources between the plurality of distributed computing systems based on the productive spend metrics determined for the selected ones of the resources.
