  • Publication number: 20170371699
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for a multi-tenant datacenter with nested hypervisors. This is provided by at least two physical computing systems each having at least one processor and memory store adapted to provide a first level Hypervisors, each providing a First Virtual Computing Environment with a plurality of inactive Virtual Hypervisors nested therein. The multi tenant data center is structured and arranged to activate a Virtual Hypervisor on one of the at least two Hypervisors and automatically migrate the at least one Customer VM from a Customer Hypervisor to the Active Virtual Hypervisor; and evacuate the remaining inactive Virtual Hypervisors from the Hypervisor supporting the Active Hypervisor to another of the at least two Hypervisors supporting inactive Virtual Hypervisors.
