Method, system and program product for allocation and/or prioritization of electronic resources

Abstract

A method, system and program product, the method comprising determining a first rule set comprising a plurality of patterns of run-time data; obtaining a second rule set comprising a respective priority assigned to respective of the application context IDs and/or user IDs and/or business priorities or combinations of two or more thereof; receiving run-time data for a first plurality of the user IDs; determining application context IDs running on desktops; generating allocation data and/or prioritization data for allocation of electronic resources for user IDs, based at least in part on the second rule set; and sending signals, based on the allocation data and/or the prioritization data.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving or obtaining, by the one or more computers, slowdown data indicating a slow down of a first one of the monitored computers;   determining, by the one or more computers, a resource shift rule applicable at a time of receiving or obtaining the slowdown data, the resource shift rule for taking electronic resources from one or more other monitored computers, the resource shift rule comprising a shift pattern comprising one or more selected from the group of a time of day, a day of the month, a company department, an application, wherein the respective resource shift rule in the resource shift rule set is based at least in part on a past history of usage of the electronic resources when the shift pattern is detected;   determining, by the one or more computers, using the resource shift rule the one or more other of the monitored computers from which to take the electronic resources; and   generating automatically allocation data, by the one or more computers, for shifting additional of the electronic resources to the first monitored computer, to be taken at least in part from the one or more other monitored computers only on a temporary basis and then returning the electronic resources allocated to the first monitored computer and the other monitored computers to previous levels before the shifting.   
     
     
         2 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 monitoring, by one or more computers, a plurality of monitored computers; and detecting from a plurality of the monitored computers, by the one or more computers,   respective data patterns, with each data pattern comprising one or more selected from the group of an application context ID, a combination of application context IDs, and a combination of an application used by a specified user ID,   wherein the generating automatically allocation data for shifting additional electronic resources is performed only when predetermined data patterns from the plurality of the data patterns are detected.
