The present invention discloses an alternative arrangement to wake-on-LAN and which is designed specifically for multi-tenant cloud computing and virtualized server environments. This new arrangement identifies which tenants or applications of a multi-tenant server are idle, and when a tenant or application is identified as idle, it transparently reduces the reserved computational capacity footprint of the application or tenant without shutting down the tenancy or exiting the application. Furthermore, the near-instantaneous resumption of the idle tenant or application is achieved when some external event is detected which relates to the passivated tenant or application. |
