Systems and methods for spillover in a multi-core system

A multi-core system for managing spillover for virtual servers across a plurality of cores in a multi-core system, the system comprising:

• a transceiver that receives a request from a client for a service managed by a multi-core system comprising a plurality of cores;
• a pool manager, executing on a core of the plurality of cores, that
• determines that a first virtual server operating on a first core of the multi-core system is using at least a first predetermined threshold number of its exclusive number of uses of a resource, the exclusive number of uses allocated from an exclusive quota pool and based on a spillover threshold, and
• determines that a number of available uses of the resource in a shared quota pool has reached a second predetermined threshold, the shared quota pool based on the spillover threshold;
• a management component that establishes a backup virtual server;
• and
• a connection management mechanism that forwards the request for the service to the backup virtual server.
