Abstract
Method allowing a computerized manager to transparently allocate computational resources to a plurality of users. A plurality of computers or servers are provided for accommodating the computational resources or for storing data. These computational resources and the data are arranged as a hierarchical repository. A root computer is used as an interface between the users and the computers or servers. The root computer is capable of communicating with the users, with the computers or with servers. The computers or servers are controlled and the manager is allowed to allocate computer resources to the users. Information is stored in the computers or servers, in a local repository or in the system files of the computers or servers. Whenever desired, stored information is retrieved from the computers or servers and then the manager dynamically allocates computational resources that are required for each of the users through the root computer, essentially without interfering with the continuous operation of the users.
