  • performing first processing regarding whether more than 1 cluster is required to store a customer'"'"'s required IU (IUreq) including a routine, executed if more than 1 cluster is required, for determining whether to iterate through additional clusters or to execute a bespoke “

    stretched”

    cluster;

    performing second processing regarding determination that the IUreq or a chunk of the IUreq must be allocated across multiple hosts including allocating storage as a function of a quantity of permissible VMs per pool;

    performing third processing regarding determination that the IUreq will fit inside a single host including allocating IUs as a function of a VM-to-resource pool value produced and the permissible VMs per pool (a chunk value); and

    defining, based on set criteria, a best fit number of chunks for a customer'"'"'s resource requirement or resource pool allocation;

    wherein the set of criteria includes a quantity of resource units used, a quantity of virtual machines (VMs) assigned to the customer and/or VM/unit ratio information.
