Abstract

One embodiment in accordance with the invention is a method for enabling dynamic performance management for virtual servers. The method can include automatically detecting when a first physical server is operating beyond a threshold. Note that a plurality of virtual servers is operating on the first physical server. Also, it can be automatically determined which virtual server of the plurality of virtual servers is associated with the first physical server operating beyond the threshold. The virtual server associated with the first physical server operating beyond the threshold can be automatically moved to a second physical server to operate thereon.
