SCALABLE RECOVERY AND/OR MIGRATION TO CLOUD-BASED CUSTOM-MADE VIRTUAL MACHINES WITHOUT USING FAILED MACHINES' CREDENTIALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256326 titled 'SCALABLE RECOVERY AND/OR MIGRATION TO CLOUD-BASED CUSTOM-MADE VIRTUAL MACHINES WITHOUT USING FAILED MACHINES' CREDENTIALS
The disclosed approach in this patent application involves setting up recovery virtual machines (VMs) in a cloud computing environment without the need for individualized credentials of failed machines. Each recovery VM is customized to correspond to the system state of its failed counterpart. A data storage management system is used to recover backup data and system states from the failed computing devices, custom-configure recovery VMs in the cloud environment, and inject desired drivers during an enhanced bare-metal restore process. The process restores backed-up data to recovery volumes attached to the VMs, making the approach scalable and secure.
- Customized recovery VMs correspond to the system state of failed machines.
- Data storage management system recovers backup data and system states from failed devices.
- Enhanced bare-metal restore process configures recovery VMs without the need for failed machine credentials.
- Backed-up data is restored to recovery volumes attached to the VMs.
- Scalable and secure approach for setting up recovery VMs in a cloud computing environment.
Potential Applications: - Disaster recovery in cloud computing environments - Data backup and restoration services - System recovery for failed computing devices
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for individualized credentials of failed machines - Customizes recovery VMs to correspond to the system state of failed counterparts - Enhances bare-metal restore process for efficient recovery
Benefits: - Improved system recovery process - Enhanced security and scalability in cloud environments - Simplified setup of recovery VMs without individualized credentials
Commercial Applications: Title: Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery Solutions This technology can be used by cloud service providers to offer efficient disaster recovery solutions to their clients. It can also be utilized by businesses to ensure data protection and system recovery in the event of failures.
Questions about Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery Solutions: 1. How does this approach improve the efficiency of system recovery in cloud computing environments? - This approach streamlines the process by customizing recovery VMs to correspond to the system state of failed machines, eliminating the need for individualized credentials and enhancing security. 2. What are the potential cost savings for businesses implementing this technology? - Businesses can save on recovery time and resources by using this approach, reducing downtime and ensuring quick system restoration.
Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosed approach works without the individualized credentials of failed machines when setting up recovery vms in a cloud computing environment. each recovery vms is customized to properly correspond to the system state of its failed counterpart. an illustrative data storage management system recovers backup data and system states collected from the counterpart computing devices, custom-configures recovery vms in the cloud computing environment, and injects the desired drivers into each recovery vm during an enhanced bare-metal restore process. the enhanced bare-metal restore process works without the failed computer's credentials. the system also restores the backed up data to recovery volumes attached to the recovery vms. the present approach is both scalable and secure. when the enhanced bare-metal restore process completes, each cloud-based recovery vm presents a user interface that, for the first time after the computing device has failed, asks for the individualized credentials of the failed machine.
