Methods, systems and apparatus to dynamically facilitate boundaryless, high availability system management

A method for dynamically load-balancing redistribution elements across a group of computing resources that facilitate at least an aspect of an Industrial Execution Process comprising:

• monitoring operational state data and availability metrics associated with Execution Process control system components/computing resources;
• identifying a load-balancing opportunity to trigger redistribution of at least one redistribution element to a proposed redistribution target;
• processing Execution Process control system components/computing resources to determine a target redistribution pool of potential redistribution candidates that maintain system availability constraints;
• and
• redistributing the at least one redistribution element to at least one target redistribution component/computing resource selected from the target redistribution pool.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing sequences of computer-executable instructions for dynamically load-balancing redistribution elements across a group of computing resources that facilitate at least an aspect of an Industrial Execution Process, the sequences of computer-executable instructions including instructions that instruct at least one processor to:

• monitor the operational state data and availability metrics associated with an Execution Process control system components/computing resources;
• identify a load-balancing opportunity to trigger redistribution of at least one redistribution element to a proposed redistribution target;
• process the Execution Process control system components/computing resources to determine a target redistribution pool of potential redistribution candidates that maintain system availability constraints;
• and
• redistribute the at least one redistribution element to at least one target redistribution component/computing resource selected from the target redistribution pool.
