Load Balancing in a Multiple Server System Hosting an Array of Services

摘要

A method and system for load balancing in a multiple server system supporting multiple services are provided to determine the best server or servers supporting a service with the best response time. An induced aggregate load is determined for each of the multiple services in accordance with corresponding load metrics. A maximum induced aggregate load on a corresponding server that generates a substantially similar QoS for each of the plurality of services is determined. A load balancing server distributes the multiple services across the multiple servers in response to the determined induced aggregate and maximum induced aggregate loads, such that the QoS for each of the multiple services is substantially uniform across the servers.
