Abstract
A virtual machine deployment system includes a plurality of processing subsystems, and at least one multi-endpoint adapter device including a plurality of endpoint subsystems. A plurality of communication couplings couple each of the plurality of endpoint subsystems to at least one of the plurality of processing subsystems in order to provide a respective subset of available communication resources to each of the plurality of processing subsystems. A virtual machine deployment engine receives an instruction to deploy a virtual machine, and determines at least one communication resource requirement for the virtual machine. The virtual machine deployment engine then identifies a first processing subsystem that is included in the plurality of processing subsystems and that is provided a first subset of the available communication resources that satisfies the at least one communication resource requirement for the virtual machine, and deploys the virtual machine on the first processing subsystem.
