Non-Disruptive Hibernating And Resuming Guest Environment Using Network Virtual Service Client - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17931401 titled 'Non-Disruptive Hibernating And Resuming Guest Environment Using Network Virtual Service Client
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for non-disruptively hibernating and resuming a guest environment using a network virtual service client. When the guest environment is hibernated, the network virtual service client instructs the virtual network interface card to set its power state to a low power state, disables communication channels, and saves the operating state of the card. Upon resuming the guest environment, the network virtual service client instructs the card to set its power state to a full power state, reenables communication channels, and restores the operating state of the card.
- Network virtual service client hibernates and resumes guest environment non-disruptively.
- Virtual network interface card power state is set to low power during hibernation and full power during resume.
- Communication channels are disabled during hibernation and reenabled during resume.
- Operating state of the virtual network interface card is saved during hibernation and restored during resume.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data centers, cloud computing environments, and virtualized networks to efficiently manage power consumption and resources.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently hibernating and resuming guest environments without disrupting network services or wasting resources.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include reduced power consumption, improved resource management, and seamless hibernation and resume processes for guest environments.
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in virtualized server environments where efficient power management and resource utilization are critical.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of traditional power management techniques in virtualized environments, which may not provide the same level of non-disruptive hibernation and resume capabilities as described in this disclosure.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact overall energy efficiency in data centers?
This technology can significantly improve energy efficiency in data centers by allowing for more precise control over power consumption during hibernation and resume processes.
What are the potential security implications of using a network virtual service client for hibernation and resume processes?
The security implications of using a network virtual service client for hibernation and resume processes would need to be carefully considered, especially in sensitive or high-security environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for non-disruptively hibernating and resuming a guest environment using a network virtual service client. In examples, when a guest environment is hibernated, a network virtual service client provides an instruction to a virtual network interface card to set the device power state of the virtual network interface card to a low power state. The network virtual service client disables the communication channels used by the network virtual service client and saves the operating state of the virtual network interface card. When the guest environment is resumed, the network virtual service client provides an instruction to set the device power state of the virtual network interface card to a full power state. The network virtual service client reenables the communication channels used by the network virtual service client and restores the operating state of the virtual network interface card.
