Optimizing Replication-Based Migration of Virtual Machines - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537299 titled 'Optimizing Replication-Based Migration of Virtual Machines
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, apparatus, and systems for migrating virtual machines (VMs) between source and destination locations in a computing environment, specifically focusing on replication-based migration. The migration process is controlled to ensure the transfer of data associated with one or more VMs from a source to a destination meets user-defined or system constraints. Additionally, dynamic control and adjustment of system parameters during the migration process are disclosed.
- Replication-based migration of virtual machines (VMs) between source and destination locations in a computing environment.
- Controlled transfer of data associated with VMs to meet user-defined or system constraints.
- Dynamic control and adjustment of system parameters during the migration process.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in cloud computing environments, data centers, and virtualization platforms to efficiently migrate virtual machines while ensuring data integrity and meeting specific constraints.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient migration of virtual machines between source and destination locations. 2. Dynamic control and adjustment of system parameters during the migration process.
Benefits
1. Improved efficiency in managing virtual machine migrations. 2. Enhanced data integrity during the migration process. 3. Flexibility to meet user-defined or system constraints.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing cloud computing services, streamlining data center operations, and enhancing virtualization platforms for improved performance and flexibility.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in the field of virtual machine migration includes various techniques such as live migration, storage migration, and network migration. These techniques focus on transferring VMs between hosts or storage locations while minimizing downtime and ensuring data consistency.
What are the potential security implications of migrating virtual machines between source and destination locations in a computing environment?
Migrating virtual machines between source and destination locations can pose security risks such as data breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive information, and potential data loss during the transfer process. Implementing robust encryption protocols, access controls, and monitoring mechanisms can help mitigate these security implications.
How does dynamic control and adjustment of system parameters during the migration process impact the overall performance of the computing environment?
Dynamic control and adjustment of system parameters during the migration process can optimize resource utilization, minimize downtime, and enhance overall performance in the computing environment. By dynamically adjusting system parameters based on workload requirements and constraints, the migration process can be efficiently managed to meet performance objectives.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosure is made of methods, apparatus and system for migrating virtual machines (VMs) between source and destination in a computing environment and, more specifically, to replication based migration. VMs migration is controlled so as to manage transferal of data associated with one or more VMs from a source location to a destination location to meet certain user definable or system constraints. Dynamic control and adjustment of system parameters associated with the migration is also disclosed.
