APPLICATION USAGE AND AUTO MAINTENANCE DRIVEN MIGRATION OF APPLICATIONS AND THEIR DEPENDENCIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17871619 titled 'APPLICATION USAGE AND AUTO MAINTENANCE DRIVEN MIGRATION OF APPLICATIONS AND THEIR DEPENDENCIES

Simplified Explanation

Embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions for creating and executing migration workflows to replicate or migrate data from one device or set of devices to another device or set of devices. The method of migration involves determining periods of time when the application has decreased use or idle time. This decreased use or idle time is used to determine the optimal time to perform a migration of the application. Based on the calculated migration time as well as the time it takes to load the application after migration, the maintenance planner can alert users and help ensure a successful migration.

  • The patent application describes a method for migrating data from one device or set of devices to another device or set of devices.
  • The method involves determining periods of decreased use or idle time of the application to perform the migration.
  • The migration time is calculated based on the optimal time to perform the migration, taking into account the time it takes to load the application after migration.
  • The maintenance planner alerts users and helps ensure a successful migration.

Potential Applications

  • Data migration between different computing environments.
  • Replication or migration of data from one device to another.

Problems Solved

  • Determining the optimal time to perform a migration of an application.
  • Ensuring a successful migration by considering the time it takes to load the application after migration.

Benefits

  • Efficient use of decreased use or idle time for migration.
  • Increased success rate of application migration.
  • User alerts and assistance in planning and executing migrations.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions for creating and executing migration workflows to replicate or migrate data (collectively referred to herein as ‘migration’) from one device or set of devices to another device or set of devices (e.g., from one computing environment to another). The method of migration involves determining periods of time when the application has decreased use or idle time. This decreased use or idle time is used to determine the optimal time to perform a migration of the application. Based on the calculated migration time as well as the time it takes to load the application after migration, the maintenance planner can alert users and help insure a successful migration.
