The method comprises identifying an increase in a total client connection capacity of the cluster of servers with a network connection balancing component; and for each server in a selection of servers in the cluster of servers calculating a current client connection capacity utilization of the server from the number of persistent connections to the server and the current capacity of the server; comparing the current client connection capacity utilization with the target client connection capacity utilization; and terminating a selection of its persistent client connections by a server based on its current client connection capacity utilization exceeding the target client connection capacity utilization. Also disclosed are a computer program product and a computer system for utilizing the computer-implemented method.
