Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of provisioning of electronic computing resources via a network to a client, and in particular to a method for automatically selecting resources in for application environments consisting of a multitude of resources, wherein a resource managing component is provided for associating specific, selected resource combinations to the application environment, wherein a list of qualifying working combinations of the resource combinations is maintained. In order to improve provisioning, it is proposed to automatically generate combinations of resources, wherein respective search algorithms look for new resources within a pool of free resources, assemble a combination of resources which fulfil a set of predetermined rules, test such given new combination in multiple level preciseness, and define a fail over situation differently to prior art, namely by providing a new resource combination which was already tested for the exact business application and the exact business process for which it was designed.
