Grid computing and virtualization can help distribute computing applications on the Internet, letting a collection of interconnected servers host a set of applications to balance the processing load and improve performance. An important question is which applications to assign to which servers to meet the applications quality of service (QoS) goals, given the servers' bandwidth and capacity constraints.
