Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to resource consumption in a clustered environment hosting an e-meeting and provide a method, system and computer program product for resource consumption reduction for an e-meeting via meeting affinity. In one embodiment of the invention, an e-meeting affinity method can be provided. In a clustered environment, the e-meeting affinity method can include identifying a clone supporting an e-meeting and having session affinity with a moderator to the e-meeting. The method further can include establishing session affinity between the clone and other participants to the e-meeting for requests relating to the e-meeting while permitting parallel session affinity to other clones for requests from the other participants not relating to the e-meeting.
