Patent attributes
Various embodiments are described herein for methods and systems for managing online resource allocation between a plurality of virtual computers. A plurality of resources can be provided via a host server. The host server can define a plurality of resource pools, where each resource pool defines an associated group of resources. Each virtual computer can be assigned to an associated resource pool. The host server can then automatically provide access for each virtual computer to the group of resources corresponds to the resource pool to which they were assigned. The host server can then determine a pool usage profile by monitoring the usage of the resources in the resource pools and store the pool usage profile. The pool usage profile may be used to re-define the resource pools or re-assign virtual computers.
