Abstract

Techniques, systems, and articles of manufacture for managing network utility of applications on cloud data centers. A method includes computing a network utility value for each of multiple applications in a data center network, determining a virtual machine placement and an application flow routing within the data center network for each of the multiple applications which have a computed network utility value below a pre-determined network utility threshold, and based on said determining, re-routing one or more of the multiple application flow routings and performing a virtual machine migration of one or more virtual machines associated with at least one of the multiple applications which have a computed network utility value below a pre-determined network utility threshold.
