Method, system, apparatus, and computer program and computer program product provide on-demand, scalable computational resources to application providers over a distributed network and system. Resources are made available based on demand for applications. Application providers are charged fees based on the amount of resources utilized to satisfy the needs of the application. In providing compute resources, method and apparatus is capable of rapidly activating a plurality of instances of the applications as demand increases and to halt instances as demand drops. Application providers are charged based on metered amount of computational resources utilized in processing their applications. Application providers access the network to distribute applications onto network to utilize distributed compute resources for processing of the applications. Application providers are further capable of monitoring, updating and replacing distributed applications. Apparatus and system includes plurality of computing resources distributed across a network capable of restoring and snapshotting provisioned applications based on demand.

A system for providing application redeployment mappings using filtered resource usage data includes a meter agent and an optimizer. The meter agent may be configured to collect measurements quantifying usage of one or more source resources by one or more applications. In response to a specification of a set of constraints associated with a deployment of one or more applications to a target execution environment, the optimizer may be configured to obtain a filtered aggregation of the measurements collected by the meter agent, and use the filtered aggregation to generate a mapping of at least one application to one or more target resources of the target execution environment in accordance with the set of constraints. The optimizer may implement a mathematical model to generate the mapping based on a determination of an optimum value of an objective function.
