Abstract
A system and method for automatically reconfiguring a computing environment comprises a consumption analysis server, a placement server, a deployment server in communication with a set of virtual machine monitors and a data warehouse in communication with a set of data collection agents, and a database. The consumption analysis server operates on measured resource utilization data in the data warehouse to yield a set of resource consumptions, available capacities and host and virtual machine configurations from the computing environment. The deployment server continuously monitors an event triggering condition and when the triggering condition is met, the placement server assigns a set of target virtual machines to a target set of hosts in a new placement and the deployment server implements the new placement through communication with the set of virtual machine monitors. The placement server right-sizes the virtual machines and the target set of hosts.
