STORAGE AWARE APPLICATION SCHEDULING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256170 titled 'STORAGE AWARE APPLICATION SCHEDULING

The abstract describes a method for application placement management, where a storage agent identifies servers or clusters that can access a volume for executing an application, manages data associated with the application, and updates data accessibility for a group of servers or clusters.

  • The method involves identifying servers or clusters that can access a volume for application execution.
  • It manages data associated with the application stored in the volume.
  • The storage agent identifies a group of servers or clusters with access to the data.
  • It updates data accessibility for each server or cluster in the group.
  • The storage agent notifies the updated data accessibility for each server or cluster.

Potential Applications: - Cloud computing environments - Data center management systems - Application performance optimization

Problems Solved: - Efficient application placement and data management - Improved resource utilization in server clusters - Enhanced application performance through optimized data accessibility

Benefits: - Increased application efficiency - Better resource allocation in server clusters - Enhanced overall system performance

Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Application Placement Management for Cloud Environments" This technology can be utilized by cloud service providers to enhance application performance, optimize resource allocation, and improve overall system efficiency in data centers.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve application performance in server clusters? 2. What are the key benefits of using this technology for cloud computing environments?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in application placement management and data accessibility in cloud environments to ensure optimal performance and resource utilization.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for application placement management. the method comprising identifying, by a storage agent, a first server from a plurality of servers or a first cluster from a plurality of clusters, the first server or the first cluster can access a first volume through which an application can be executed; identifying, by the storage agent, data associated with the application, wherein the data is stored in the first volume; identifying, by the storage agent, a group of servers from the plurality of servers or a group of clusters from the plurality of clusters having access to the data; updating, by the storage agent, data accessibility associated with each server of the group of servers or each cluster of the group of clusters; and notifying, by the storage agent, the updated data accessibility associated with each server of the group of servers or each cluster of the group of clusters.
