MANAGING PROXY VIRTUAL MACHINES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18667804 titled 'MANAGING PROXY VIRTUAL MACHINES
The patent application discusses techniques for managing proxy virtual machines in a data center to optimize performance and efficiency for data backup and restoration.
- Proxy virtual machines are deployed intelligently in the data center based on its topology.
- The number of proxy virtual machines and their specific hosts are determined using the data center's structure.
- Instead of maxing out ports on each proxy virtual machine for planned backup jobs, ports are left available for on-demand restore jobs.
- The computer system calculates the number of proxy virtual machines based on a rule that ensures ports are available for unplanned restore jobs.
Potential Applications: - Data centers - Cloud computing - Backup and restoration services
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of proxy virtual machines - Optimization of data backup and restoration processes
Benefits: - Improved performance and efficiency in data backup and restoration - Better utilization of resources in the data center
Commercial Applications: - Data center management software - Cloud service providers - Backup and recovery solutions
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the intelligent deployment of proxy virtual machines improve data center performance? 2. What are the key factors considered when determining the number and placement of proxy virtual machines in the data center?
Frequently Updated Research: - Research on data center optimization and resource management techniques may provide further insights into the innovation described in the patent application.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for managing proxy virtual machines are disclosed. In some embodiments, a computer system deploys proxy virtual machines on a data center in an intelligent way in order to optimize performance and efficiency for backing up data from and restoring data to the data center, using the topology of the data center to determine how many proxy virtual machines to deploy and on which specific hosts to deploy the proxy virtual machines. Rather than determining the number of proxy virtual machines to deploy based on a maxing out of all of the ports on each proxy virtual machine to handle a planned quantity of backup jobs, the computer system may calculate the number of proxy virtual machines to use based on a rule that ports be left available for un-planned on-demand restore jobs.
