Abstract
A system and method for separation of traffic processing in a computing farm. The method comprises allocating a first group of computing resources of the computing farm to a trusted zone and a second group of computing resources to an un-trusted zone, wherein the computing resources in the first group are allocated to ensure at least service-level agreements (SLA) guaranteed to a group of trusted clients; determining, based on a plurality of security risk indication parameters, if a client associated with an incoming traffic is a trusted client or an un-trusted client; forwarding the incoming traffic to the second group of computing resources when the client is determined to be an un-trusted client; and diverting the incoming traffic to the first group of computing resources when the client is determined to be a trusted client, thereby ensuring at least the SLA guaranteed to the trusted client.
