ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods are provided for balancing a plurality of received processing requests among a plurality of servers of a processing system network. At least a subset of the processing requests are received from one or more of a plurality of network nodes of the processing system network. Storage means are provided for storing one or more measurable characteristics for at least each of a first server and a second server, both of which are operative to run a common application. A control circuit is also provided and is operative to receive a processing request to run the common application from a particular network node. The control circuit is further operative, in response to the processing request, to allocate either the first and/or the second server to run the common application as a function of the one or more measurable characteristics.
