ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a software facility for inferring the identity of a preferred server for use by a computer system. The facility first reads system configuration information describing the configuration of the computer system. The facility also reads configuration mapping information specifying a mapping from system configuration information to preferred servers. The facility then applies the read mapping information to the read system configuration information to identify a preferred server for the computer system. In some embodiments, the computer system proceeds to consume resources of the preferred server identified in this manner.
