Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for providing portable composite solutions. The mechanism deploys a set of virtual images for a plurality of components of a composite solution to a build environment to form a set of virtual machines. The mechanism deploys a network virtual image to the build environment to form a network virtual machine. The network virtual machine comprises a router. The mechanism configures the router to create a private subnet with a set of fixed addresses and set of host names for the composite solution. Optionally, the mechanism may discover the fixed addresses during the build phase. The mechanism optionally installs middleware components to the set of virtual machines for the composite solution to form a set of solution virtual machines. The mechanism captures the set of solution virtual machines as a set of solution virtual images as a portable composite solution.

Abstract: An application program identifies a plurality of least recently accessed constructs of the application program that reside in DRAM memory. The application program causes the aggregation of at least a portion of the identified least recently accessed constructs onto one or more pages of the DRAM memory. The application program then causes the one or more memory pages of the DRAM memory to be put into self-refresh operation mode.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an approach is provided that retrieves a source image metadata from a persistent storage media, where the source image metadata corresponds to a source image associated with a source platform, compares the retrieved source image metadata to image metadata corresponding to available virtual images associated with a target platform, identifies, based on the comparison, one of the available image metadata that is most compatible to the source image metadata, and uses the available virtual image corresponding to the identified available image metadata as a target virtual image compatible with the target platform.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an approach is provided that differences a source topology model associated with a source platform and a target topology model associated with a target platform. This differencing is performed by a processor and results in a topology difference. An operation in a workflow model is obtained from an asset library, the operation being associated with the topology difference. At least a portion of the asset library is stored in a persistent storage medium. The operation to deploy a portion of a solution is transmitted for deployment. The deployed portion of the solution includes a target image compatible with the target platform.

Abstract: The different illustrative embodiments provide a method, computer program product, and apparatus for converting a first image for a virtual machine formatted for a first virtual environment. A second image is created, wherein the second image is non-specific to any virtual environment. A determination is made whether a portion of files to be copied from the first virtual image to the second virtual image should be replaced using a compatibility matrix, wherein the compatibility matrix identifies changes between the first virtual environment and a second virtual environment. A replacement for the portion of the files is copied to the second image using the compatibility matrix responsive to a determination that the portion of the files in the set of files should be replaced. The file is copied to the second image responsive to an absence of a determination that the each file in the set of files should be replaced.
