  • Pattern-based migration of workloads
    Patent number: 10637735
    Abstract: Apparatus for pattern-based migration of a source workload to a target workload at a target deployment which includes a discovery engine, a decision system, a deployment manager, a pattern deployment engine and a residual migration and remediation system. The discovery engine takes the source deployment as an input and discovers metadata associated with the deployed components of the source workload and the IT topology. The deployment manager in cooperation with the pattern deployment engine at the target determines a closest starting-point template to be used for pattern-based target workload deployment. The decision system receives the metadata from the discovery engine and in cooperation with the deployment manager makes a go or no-go decision whether to trigger pattern-based target workload. The residual migration and remediation system finds any undiscovered source workload components and deploys the undiscovered workload components to the target deployment by an image-based migration.

  • Migration to managed clouds
    Patent number: 9692632
    Abstract: A foreign instance is transferred from a customer environment to a target infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment as an image. The foreign instance is adjusted to standards of the infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment to obtain an adjusted instance. The adjusted instance is registered into a management system of the infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment.
