Abstract: A management platform, which includes a plurality of virtual machines, wherein one virtual machine utilizes a first hypervisor and is linked to resources in a first virtual environment of an enterprise data center, and one virtual machine uses a second heterogeneous hypervisor and is linked to resources in a second virtual environment of a cloud. A user interface allows a user to set a policy with respect to disaster recovery of the computing resources of the enterprise data center. A control component replicates some of the infrastructure of the enterprise data center to the second virtual environment of the cloud computing infrastructure, controls the plurality of virtual machines to provide failover to the cloud computing infrastructure when triggered based at least in part on the user-set policy, and controls the plurality of virtual machines to provide recovery back to the enterprise data center after failover to the cloud computing infrastructure.

Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a data-plane architecture includes a set of one or more memories that store a data and a metadata. Each memory of the set of one or more memories is split into an independent memory system. The data-planes architectures includes a storage device. A network adapter transfers data to the set of one or more memories. A set of one or mote processing pipelines transform and process the data from the set of one or more memories; wherein the the one or more processing pipelines are coupled with the one or more memories, the storage device, and wherein each of the set of one or more processing pipelines comprise a programmable block for local data processing.
