Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cloud capacity on demand manager manages capacity on demand for servers in a server cloud. The cloud capacity on demand manager may borrow capacity from one or more servers and lend the capacity borrowed from one server to a different server in the server cloud. When the server cloud is no longer intact, capacity borrowed from servers no longer in the server cloud is disabled, and servers no longer in the server cloud reclaim capacity that was lent to the server cloud.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method executed by at least one processor for managing capacity for a plurality of resources for a plurality of servers in a server cloud, the method comprising the steps of: (A) borrowing capacity for at least one of the plurality of resources from at least one of the plurality of servers in the server cloud; (B) lending the borrowed capacity to a different one of the plurality of servers in the server cloud as long as the ser…
