MANAGING DATA CENTER RESOURCES TO ACHIEVE A QUALITY OF SERVICE

Abstract:

In accordance with some embodiments, a cloud service provider may operate a data center in a way that dynamically reallocates resources across nodes within the data center based on both utilization and service level agreements. In other words, the allocation of resources may be adjusted dynamically based on current conditions. The current conditions in the data center may be a function of the nature of all the current workloads. Instead of simply managing the workloads in a way to increase overall execution efficiency, the data center instead may manage the workload to achieve quality of service requirements for particular workloads according to service level agreements.
