Virtualization simulation engine including assuming a dormant state for a lower priority application
Patent number: 9471447Abstract: An approach is provided for determining disaster recovery capacity. A simulation hypervisor receives streaming metric data, which represents the current production workload of a primary site, from the primary site. The metric data is combined with production data of the backup site by the simulation hypervisor to simulate a recovery event. Using data from the simulating, disaster recovery planning can be performed.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik Bartholomy, Christopher P. Evans, Frank J. Giordano, Gordan G. Greenlee, Paul W. Novak, Richard J. Sheftic, Victor L. Walter -

Patent number: 9104625Abstract: An approach is provided for internet protocol (IP) address failover. An application on a primary site is assigned a private IP address. This private IP address is accessible within a local network. This private IP address is mapped to a public IP address, which is accessible to users outside the local network. The application is then replicated to a backup site with the same private IP address used to access it on the primary site. In case of a disaster recover event on the primary site, the replicated application can be accessed on the backup site by way of the public IP address.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik Bartholomy, Frank J. Giordano, Gordan G. Greenlee, Gourishankar R. Menon, Victor L. Walter

Patent number: 8762339Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for implementing disaster recovery for an application. A subscription backup site for the application is selected from among a plurality of sites. The site that is selected will have a virtual space that is able to accommodate the workload requirements for the application. The application is deflated on the site in such as way as to operate in a dormant state. In the dormant state, the application has a small fraction of its required resources allocated to it. Thereafter, when disaster recovery is needed, the application can be inflated on the subscription backup site by allocating resources to enable the application to execute on the subscription backup site.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik Bartholomy, Frank J. Giordano, Gordan G. Greenlee
