1. A system comprising non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a logical-server manager to, when executed by a processor:
- store a logical server in a logical-server database while said logical server is undeployed, said logical server having a logical-server network identity, said logical-server network identity and historical data being stored in association with said logical server in said logical-server database, said historical data including a list of real servers on whichsaid logical server has been deployed, said list specifying at least one real server on which said logical server is not currently deployed as a server on which said logical server has been deployed;
select a real server for deployment of said logical server based at least in part on said list of real servers on which said logical server has been deployed; and
