US Classification:

709226, 709225, 709229

Abstract:

According to a particular embodiment of the present invention, a system and method for allocating resources in a distributed computing system are provided. In one embodiment, a distributed computing system includes a computing grid including a plurality of grid nodes, a web server configured in a service-oriented architecture and operable to provide one or more business applications to a plurality of clients by executing one or more services on the plurality of grid nodes, and a resource control system communicatively coupled to the web server. The resource control system is operable to receive one or more performance parameters of the business applications executed on the plurality of grid nodes, provision one or more of the grid nodes in response to the performance parameters falling below a predetermined minimum level, and un-provision one or more of the grid nodes in response to the performance parameters exceeding a predetermined maximum level. The plurality of clients comprises a plurality of client subsets, each client subset requiring a respective quality of service, and each of the grid nodes in the computing grid is assigned a particular client subset for which to execute services.

Abstract:

According to one embodiment, a distributed computing system includes a resource control system coupled to an enterprise service bus that orchestrates a plurality of services into a business application. The resource control system is operable to receive a performance parameter from the enterprise service bus in which the performance parameter includes a metric of the business application. Using the performance parameter, the resource control system determines a loading of each of a plurality grid nodes on which the plurality of services are executed, and provisions or un-provisions one of the plurality of grid nodes according to the determined loading.
