Management apparatus and workload distribution management method

1. A management apparatus comprising:

a communicating unit that acquires information indicating loads of one or more first virtual machines deployed on a first system, and acquire, when one or more second virtual machines are deployed on a second system, information indicating loads of the second virtual machines; and

a processor that performs a procedure including:

comparing loads of the first virtual machines with a first threshold,

deploying, when the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold, the second virtual machines on the second system and distributing processing of a business operation across the first virtual machines and the second virtual machines,

comparing loads of the second virtual machines with a second threshold,

allowing a different second virtual machine to be added to the second system when, after the second virtual machines are deployed, the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold and the loads of the second virtual machines are equal to or greater than the second threshold,

restricting the addition of the different second virtual machine to the second system when, after the second virtual machines are deployed, the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold but the loads of the second virtual machines are smaller than the second threshold, and

migrating at least one of the first virtual machines to the second system when the addition of the different second virtual machine is restricted because the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold but the loads of the second virtual machines are smaller than the second threshold.

2. The management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the procedure further includes migrating the at least one of the first virtual machines or at least one of the second virtual machines to the first system when, after the migrating of the at least one of the first virtual machines to the second system, loads of a different one or more of the first virtual machines deployed in the first system have fallen below the first threshold.

3. A business operation load distribution management method comprising:

comparing, by a processor, loads of first virtual machines deployed on a first system with a first threshold;

deploying, by the processor, when the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold, one or more second virtual machines on a second system, and distributing processing of a business operation across the first virtual machines and the second virtual machines;

comparing, by the processor, loads of the second virtual machines with a second threshold;

allowing, by the processor, a different second virtual machine to be added to the second system when, after the second virtual machines are deployed, the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold and the loads of the second virtual machines are equal to or greater than the second threshold;

restricting, by the processor, the addition of the different second virtual machine to the second system when, after the second virtual machines are deployed, the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold but the loads of the second virtual machines are smaller than the second threshold; and

migrating, by the processor, at least one of the first virtual machines to the second system when the addition of the different second virtual machine is restricted because the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold but the loads of the second virtual machines are smaller than the second threshold.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that causes a computer to perform a procedure comprising:

comparing loads of first virtual machines deployed on a first system with a first threshold;

deploying, when the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold, one or more second virtual machines on a second system, and distributing processing of a business operation across the first virtual machines and the second virtual machines;

comparing loads of the second virtual machines with a second threshold;

allowing a different second virtual machine to be added to the second system when, after the second virtual machines are deployed, the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold and the loads of the second virtual machines are equal to or greater than the second threshold;

restricting the addition of the different second virtual machine to the second system when, after the second virtual machines are deployed, the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold but the loads of the second virtual machines are smaller than the second threshold; and

migrating at least one of the first virtual machines to the second system when the addition of the different second virtual machine is restricted because the loads of the first virtual machines are equal to or greater than the first threshold but the loads of the second virtual machines are smaller than the second threshold.
