Abstract

Methods and computer systems for managing access to resources in a computing environment. Detecting a projected overload condition from a projected demand for a resource. Identifying a server associated with a resource demand scheduled to be fulfilled prior to the projected overload condition. Generating a rescheduling request to reschedule the resource demand until after the projected overload condition. Sending the rescheduling request to the identified server. Providing access to the resource at a rescheduled time.

Claims (41)

1. A computer system comprising:

a communications module;

a processor coupled to the communications module; and

a memory coupled to the processor storing instructions that, when executed by the computer system, cause the computer system to:

detect a projected overload condition from a projected demand for a resource;

select a resource demand requesting a transfer, from the computer system to the server, that is to occur prior to the projected overload condition;

identify a server associated with the selected resource demand requesting the transfer to the server;

generate a transfer extension request requesting an extension until a selected date that is after the projected overload condition;

send, via the communications module, the transfer extension request to the identified server requesting the extension until the selected date that is after the projected overload condition; and

initiate the transfer from the computer system to the identified server by the selected date in response to receiving from the identified server a reply including an indication of a grant of the transfer extension request.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein detecting the projected overload condition includes detecting a projected shortfall event.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transfer is to occur prior to a projected shortfall event.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the projected demand for the resource is based on a history of transfers.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transfer is sufficient to cover a projected shortfall event.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein identifying the server is based on identifying a resource demand that includes an overage.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein identifying the server is based on identifying a resource demand that is associated with a server that supports rescheduling of resource demands.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein identifying the server includes selecting a resource demand corresponding to an amount that is based on an amount of a projected shortfall event.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein identifying the server includes mapping an identifier associated with the selected resource demand requesting the transfer to the server.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer system to receive the resource demand requesting the transfer that is to occur prior to the projected overload condition, and wherein the instructions that cause the computer system to select the resource demand further include instructions that cause the computer system to select the received resource demand requesting the transfer that is to occur prior to the projected overload condition.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer system to receive from an upload interface displayed on a remote device an upload of the resource demand requesting the transfer that is to occur prior to the projected overload condition, and wherein the instructions that cause the computer system to select the resource demand further include instructions that cause the computer system to select the uploaded resource demand requesting the transfer that is to occur prior to the projected overload condition.

12. A method for managing access to resources in a computing environment, the method comprising:

detecting, by a computer system, a projected overload condition from a projected demand for a resource;

selecting, by the computer system, a resource demand requesting a transfer, from the computer system to the server, that is to occur prior to the projected overload condition;

identifying a server associated with the selected resource demand requesting the transfer to the server;

generating a transfer extension request requesting an extension until a selected date that is after the projected overload condition;

sending, via a communications module, the transfer extension request to the identified server requesting the extension until the selected date that is after the projected overload condition;

initiating the transfer from the computer system to the identified server by the selected date in response to receiving from the identified server and via the communications module a reply including an indication of a grant of the transfer extension request.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein detecting the projected overload condition includes detecting a projected shortfall event.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the transfer is to occur prior to a projected shortfall event.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the projected demand for the resource is based on a history of transfers.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the transfer is sufficient to cover a projected shortfall event.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein identifying the server is based on identifying a resource demand that includes an overage.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein identifying the server is based on identifying a resource demand that is associated with a server that supports rescheduling of resource demands.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein identifying the server includes selecting a resource demand corresponding to an amount that is based on an amount of a projected shortfall event.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising processor-executable instructions which, when executed, configure a processor to:

detect a projected overload condition from a projected demand for a resource;

select a resource demand requesting a transfer, from the computer system to the server, that is to occur prior to the projected overload condition;

identify a server associated with the selected resource demand requesting the transfer to the server;

generate a transfer extension request requesting an extension until a selected date that is after the projected overload condition;

send, via a communications module, the transfer extension request to the identified server requesting the extension until the selected date that is after the projected overload condition; and

initiate the transfer from the computer system to the identified server by the selected date in response to receiving from the identified server and via the communications module a reply including an indication of a grant of the transfer extension request.
