Abstract
A method and system for balancing the load of computer resources among a plurality of computers having consumers consuming the resources is disclosed. After defining the lower threshold of the consumption level of the resources and obtaining the consumption level of the resources for each of the consumers and for each of said computers, the consumption level for each of the computers is compared during a period with its associated lower threshold. Whenever a computer having a consumption level of the resources higher than the lower threshold is identified, a new layout of computer resources for each of the consumers is determined. Consumers are then shifted from their current location in the computer to a corresponding location in another computer according to the layout, so that the consumption level of the resource(s) for a computer may be reduced.
