Workload management with network dynamics

A computing device, comprising:

• a parameter determination module adapted to determine a set of network parameters for one or more switches along a first data path from a first source device to a first destination device, wherein at least one of the parameters indicates congestion condition on a link within the first data path;
• a resource determination module adapted to:
• determine resources available on the first source device;
• and
• determine whether assigning a job function to the first source device satisfies a service level agreement, based on:
• the determined network parameters;
• and
• the determined resources available on the first source device;
• and
• a job-assignment module adapted to:
• assign the job function to the first source device in response to determining that the service level agreement is satisfied;
• and
• preclude the job function from being assigned to the first source device in response to determining that the service level agreement is not satisfied.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• determining a set of network parameters for one or more switches along a first data path from a first source device to a first destination device, wherein at least one of the parameters indicates congestion condition on a link within the first data path;
• determining resources available on the first source device;
• determining whether assigning a job function to the first source device satisfies a service level agreement, based on:
• the determined network parameters;
• and
• the determined resources available on the first source device;
• and
• in response to determining that the service level agreement is satisfied, assigning the job function to the first source device;
• and
• in response to determining that the service level agreement is not satisfied, precluding the job function from being assigned to the first source device.
