👉 Reserve computing refers to the allocation of unused or underutilized computational resources within a data center or cloud infrastructure that can be rapidly mobilized to meet sudden spikes in demand or unexpected workloads. These resources, which might otherwise remain idle, are pre-provisioned and can be quickly deployed to ensure optimal performance and service availability. This approach enhances the flexibility and efficiency of resource management, allowing organizations to handle peak loads without incurring the costs and delays associated with over-provisioning. By maintaining a reserve of computing power, data centers can maintain high levels of service quality and responsiveness, even during periods of high demand or unforeseen events.
