AUTO TIME OPTIMIZATION FOR MIGRATION OF APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17994668 titled 'AUTO TIME OPTIMIZATION FOR MIGRATION OF APPLICATIONS

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. In one or more embodiments, migrations involve obtaining relationship information with regards to the applications that will be migrated from one device to another device or set of devices. This relationship information is used to determine which applications and/or other system resources are affected by the migration, including those applications/system resources that are not being migrated. The migrations are performed in such a way to minimize inconvenience to the end users, by having the migration take place at a time when both the application being migrated, and related applications have reduced usage or idle time.

  • Migration workflows for replicating or migrating data between devices
  • Obtaining relationship information for applications being migrated
  • Minimizing inconvenience to end users during migration by selecting optimal migration time

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as IT, data management, and cloud computing for efficient data migration processes.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of minimizing disruption to end users during data migration, ensuring a smooth transition between devices.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include reduced downtime, improved efficiency in data migration, and enhanced user experience during the migration process.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include data migration services, cloud computing solutions, and IT infrastructure management tools.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional data migration methods that do not take into account the relationship information between applications during the migration process.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle complex data structures during migration?

The article does not provide specific details on how the technology handles complex data structures during the migration process.

What security measures are in place to protect the data during migration?

The article does not mention the security measures implemented to protect the data being migrated between devices.
