Abstract:
An example apparatus to manage network resources includes a load balancing detector to determine to reassign first and second network fabrics; and a network fabric configurator to, in response to the detecting to reassign the first and second network fabrics, configuring a virtual network distributed switch to: assign the first network fabric to ones of the first applications previously assigned to the second network fabric; and assign the second network fabric to the second application.
