Abstract
A method is provided for evaluating workload consolidation on a computer located in a datacenter. The method comprises inflating a balloon workload on a first computer that simulates a consolidation workload of a workload originating on the first computer and a workload originating on a second computer. The method further comprises evaluating the quality of service on the first computer's workload during the inflating and transferring the workload originating on either the first or the second computer to the other of the first or second computer if the evaluating the quality of service remains above a threshold.
