Abstract
The present invention relates to a data processing system and method and, more particularly, to a data processing system and method which requests additional resources in response to changes in the performance of the data processing system. Accordingly, the present invention provides a data processing system comprising at least locally system resources; a monitor for monitoring utilisation of at least one resource of the system resources; an access controller for determining that the utilisation of the at least one resource has passed a predetermined threshold for performing a task and managing access to at least one of remotely accessible system resource and the locally accessible system resources; the access controller being arranged to allocate sufficient system resources for performing the task, in response to the determination that the utilisation of the at least one resource has passed the predetermined threshold. Advantageously, the access controller manages the allocation of resources to allow tasks to be performed and notifies a user or system administrator of the need to improve the system when the performance thereof is inadequate.
