Abstract:
1. A method comprising: automatically transmitting at a predefined time interval a storage request to a database to determine an amount of physical memory storage available in an enterprise network; receiving an alert message indicating at least one virtual machine currently operating has exceeded a predetermined memory storage threshold value; identifying a percentage of total available physical memory storage by which the at least one virtual machine has exceeded the predetermined memory storage threshold value; determining an amount of memory for at least one new virtual hard disk as an integer multiple of the percentage of total available physical memory storage; and creating, via a processor, the at least one new virtual hard disk (VHD) to accommodate the exceeded predetermined memory storage threshold value; wherein the physical memory storage allocated to the at least one new VHD is equal to an integer multiple of a difference between the amount of physical memory storage available and 100 percent of the physical memory storage available.
