Abstract
A resource allocation manager to allocate resources to handle applications in a messaging system includes a database storing a set of resource allocation rules to govern the allocation of resources to applications. A resource allocation engine is responsive to events that potentially effect the manner in which resources are allocated. The resource allocation agent accesses the database and interprets the resource allocation rules in response to events to determine if the events warrant a reallocation of resources to handle applications. Allocation agents are responsive to the resource allocation engine and reallocate resources to handle applications when detected events warrant a reallocation of resources. A method of allocating resources in a messaging system is also provided.
