Abstract: System and computer program product for automatically adjusting allocation of processing power in a server. The server includes means for monitoring utilization of the processing power in the server and reporting the utilization of the processing power to the system, or means for monitoring availability of the processing power in the server and reporting the availability of the processing power to the system. The system comprises means or program instructions, responsive to a report that the processor utilization is above a first predetermined upper threshold or the processor availability is below a first predetermined lower threshold, for determining if the server can accommodate allocation of additional processing power, and if so, generating a request to allocate additional processing power to the server.
