An example method is provided and includes receiving information associated with a network event; predicting network activity associated with the network event; determining a level of network resources that can accommodate the network activity associated with the network event; evaluating currently deployed network resources; and allocating new network resources based on the network activity that was predicted. In more particular embodiments, the new network resources can include a cache configured to receive replicated content from a server. Additionally, the new network resources can include a virtual machine configured to interact with a server to distribute a load associated with the network event. The new network resources can be allocated before the network activity occurs. In other examples, the information associated with the network event is received based on a registration activity executed by a server configured to designate particular events for which it is interested. |
