System and method for self organizing data center

Abstract

A self organizing data center comprising: a plurality of services, each service configured to select and modify its placement; and a plurality of servers, each server configured to select and modify its resource allocation to each placement. A service or service application executing in the data center can request to modify its resource allocation. The data center, upon receiving a request to modify the resource allocation, runs an auction among the services and determines the proposed new resource allocation and its conditions. The service transmits an answer to the data server and if the answer indicates acceptance of the new resource allocation, the data center implements the new resource allocation.
