Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for balancing computer memory among a plurality of logical partitions on a computing system, the computing system having installed upon it a hypervisor, the hypervisor having allocated computer memory and computer storage to each of the logical partitions, that include: receiving, in a memory balancing module, a storage identifier for each logical partition, the storage identifier specifying a portion of a logical partition's allocated computer storage to be used for caching data contained in the logical partition's allocated computer memory; monitoring, by the memory balancing module for each logical partition, a storage usage rate for the portion of that logical partition's allocated computer storage specified by that logical partition's storage identifier; and instructing, by the memory balancing module, the hypervisor to reallocate the computer memory for two or more of the logical partitions in dependence upon the storage usage rates.
