摘要: Methods and apparatus providing, controlling managing a dynamically sized, highly scalable available server farm are disclosed. A Virtual Server Farm (VSF) is created out of wide scale computing fabric ('Computing Grid') which physically constructed once then logically divided up into VSFs for various organizations on demand. Each organization retains independent administrative control VSF. VSF firewalled within the Computing Grid. Allocation elements in performed by plane connected to all computing, networking, storage grid through special ports. The internal topology each under plane. No physical rewiring necessary order construct many different configurations, including single-tier Web or multi-tier Web-server, application server, database configurations.
