BALANCING UTILIZATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN A NETWORKED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- by computer program instructions executing on a computing device;
mapping, for each of a plurality of workloads operating on source devices in a networked computing environment, a corresponding target device within said networked computing environment;
accessing topological information defining the networked computing environment; and
reducing unbalanced utilization of infrastructure in the networked computing environment including migrating a workload to an alternate device within the networked computing environment, in dependence upon the mapping and the topological information.

Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments for balancing utilization of infrastructure in a networked computing environment. One example embodiment includes: mapping, for each of a plurality of workloads operating on source devices in a networked computing environment, a corresponding target device within said networked computing environment; accessing topological information defining the networked computing environment; and reducing unbalanced utilization of infrastructure in the networked computing environment including migrating a workload to an alternate device within the networked computing environment, in dependence upon the mapping and topological information.

8. An apparatus comprising a computer processor, a non-transitory computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the non-transitory computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:
-
mapping, for each of a plurality of workloads operating on source devices in a networked computing environment, a corresponding target device within said networked computing environment; accessing topological information defining the networked computing environment; and reducing unbalanced utilization of infrastructure in the networked computing environment including migrating a workload to an alternate device within the networked computing environment, in dependence upon the mapping and the topological information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
