Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for facilitating system optimization through the use of user-resource allocations to servers based on determined access patterns. In one embodiment, recurrent patterns of access are identified based on combinations of computer system users and system-hosted resources. In some embodiments, groupings of user-resource combinations can be determined. The groupings are valuable for optimizing the allocation of users and/or resources to a plurality of servers, particularly under conditions of heavy simultaneous resource demand. Patterns may be determined from user-resource pair access time series, and groupings may be determined based on derived strength of association of these. Based on the groupings, users and resources may be allocated to servers efficiently. Allocation optimization can be an effective means for mitigating or preventing Service Level Agreement non-compliance.
