ABSTRACT:
A system for recovering resources, wherein the system includes a plurality of allocating services that each allocate resources to clients and a resource audit service in communication with each of the plurality of allocating services. When one of the plurality of allocating services allocates a resource to a client, the one of the plurality of allocating services sends a registration to the resource audit service identifying the client as a recipient of the resource. The resource audit service monitors status of the clients thereby freeing the plurality of allocating services from individually monitoring the status of the clients to which resources have been allocated. When one of the clients fails, the resource audit service sends a failure notification to each of the plurality of allocating services that have allocated a resource to the failed client, thereby allowing each of the plurality of allocating services to recover the resource that had been allocated to the failed client.
