1. A method of managing spillover for virtual servers across a plurality of cores in a multi-core system, the method comprising: receiving, by a multi-core system, a request from a client for a service managed by the multi-core system; determining, by a pool manager of the multi-core system, that a first virtual server operating on a first core of the multi-core system is using at least a first predetermined threshold number of its exclusive number of uses of a resource, the exclusive number of uses allocated from an exclusive quota pool and based on a spillover threshold; determining, by the pool manager, that a number of available uses of the resource in a shared quota pool has reached a second predetermined threshold, the shared quota pool based on the spillover threshold; establishing, by the multi-core system, a backup virtual server; and forwarding, by the multi-core system, the request for the service to the backup virtual server.
