Methods and apparatus involve production servers in a data center of an enterprise and management servers arranged in a scale-free manner to monitor, for instance, the health and general service status and availability of the production servers. Representatively, the production servers are first identified and then the management servers are analyzed to see if they can be deployed in a scale-free arrangement therewith. If so, the scale-free arrangement satisfies the proportionality equation P(k)˜k−γ where γ is 1, 2 or 3. If not, the management servers are reserved until such time as they are able to fit in a scale-free manner. Computer program products are also utilized to assist in such calculations. Deployment of the production servers in a scale-free configuration is still another feature as is contemplating the physical limitations of servers (e.g., capacity, memory, number of connections, etc.) since each does not individually scale infinitely.
