Abstract

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for balancing user sessions using load pattern forecasting are provided here. A device can determine a pattern of load distribution for a session prior to establishment of the session on a server of a computing environment. The pattern can be indicative of load on a server to run the session for a range of time. The device can determine an amount of usage of the plurality of servers on a per server basis. The usage can be indicative of sessions to be run on individual servers for the range of time. The device can select one of the plurality of servers on which to run the session based on a comparison of the pattern of load distribution for the session and the determined amounts of usage of the plurality servers. The device can assign the session to the selected server of the computing environment to balance resource usage across the computing environment.
