  • Data Migration with Application-Native Export and Import Capabilities
    Publication number: 20180284999
    Abstract: An approach is disclosed that identifies a migration condition at a data migration appliance that is migrating an application data set from a source data center to a target data center. The data migration appliance includes a set of processors, a memory, a nonvolatile storage device, and one or more external interfaces. The approach loads software application utilities that correspond to the application data set onto the data migration appliance. The approach then exports the application data set from the source data center to the nonvolatile storage device in the data migration appliance using one of the software application utilities. After transport of the appliance, the approach imports the application data set stored on the nonvolatile storage device to the target data center using one of the software application utilities.

  • Operating a port shared by multiple controllers in a software defined network
    Patent number: 9774526
    Abstract: An instruction from a controller is received at an application executing using a processor, the controller being a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller operating in an SDN. A determination is made, using the processor, that the instruction applies to an identifier located in a data packet, the data packet passing through a shared port, the shared port being shared by the controller and a concurrently operating second controller in the SDN. A period of effectiveness of the instruction is initialized. A command is sent to a switch to apply a network setting configured by the controller to handle the data packet, where the shared port is located at the switch in the SDN.
