  • Publication number: 20200097349
    Abstract: Embodiments for efficient resource placement in a disaggregated computing environment. Responsive to receiving an alert of a threshold breach of one or more events associated with a suspicious resource of a first resource type while executing a workload, a known good resource is selected from an available resource pool of the first resource type, where the selecting is performed to optimize a usage of the first resource type. The known good resource from the available resource pool of the first resource type is assigned to the workload such that execution of the workload is transferred from being performed by the suspicious resource to the known good resource.

  • Publication number: 20190370118
    Abstract: Embodiments for replicating data in a disaggregated computing system. A memory pool is allocated, where the memory pool includes allocated memory elements at a first site and allocated memory elements at a second site. The allocated memory elements are mapped at the first site to the allocated memory elements at the second site. A replication operation is initiated to mirror data stored within the allocated memory elements at the first site to the allocated memory elements at the second site. The allocated memory elements at the first site are directly connected through an independent networking connection to the allocated memory elements at the second site such that the replication operation is processed exclusively through compute resources at the first site.

    Abstract: Embodiments for disaster recovery in a disaggregated computing system. A memory pool is allocated including allocated memory elements at a secondary, disaster recovery site for data received from memory pool elements within the memory pool at a primary site. Data is continuously replicated to the allocated memory elements at the disaster recovery site without requiring any compute resources to be attached to the allocated memory elements during the replicating. An orchestration mechanism is used to regulate an available amount of resources to be assigned to the allocated memory elements at the disaster recovery site during a failover operation for performing failover workloads associated with the replicated data upon the primary site becoming inoperable.

  • Publication number: 20190370135
    Abstract: Embodiments for disaster recovery in a disaggregated computing system. A memory pool is allocated including allocated memory elements at a secondary, disaster recovery site for data received from memory pool elements within the memory pool at a primary site. Data is continuously replicated to the allocated memory elements at the disaster recovery site. During a disaster recovery failover, a determination is made whether there are sufficient resources in the disaggregated computing system for performing workloads of a certain type. If insufficient resources are available, a disaster recovery process is initiated to re-allocate the resources for performing given workloads of the certain type.

  • Publication number: 20190354412
    Abstract: Embodiments for optimizing dynamic resource allocations in a disaggregated computing environment. Data access patterns of data elements associated with a set of workloads are tracked across predetermined windows of time. The set of workloads is categorized into at least one of a plurality of classes, each class characterized by a method of data access of the data elements during the tracking of the data access patterns. Resource allocations are optimized in the disaggregated computing environment for a current iteration of the set of workloads based on the method of data access by allocating specific resources within the disaggregated data center to the current iteration of the set of workloads according to the data access patterns in real-time.
