  • Methods and systems for adaptive capacity management
    Patent number: 9396500
    Abstract: Techniques to adaptively manage service requests within a multi-server system. In one embodiment, a service request and a service rule associated with the service request are received. Data about operating parameters of at least one server in a multi-server system are also received as part of a feedback loop. A response to the service request based on the service rule and the operating parameters is determined. Execution of the service request may be modified according to a tiered service rule based on the at least one server reaching a capacity threshold. The modification includes omitting an action in execution of the service request.
