Patent number: 11665105Abstract: The current document is directed to a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing-facilities based on attribute values associated with the needed resources, the resource providers, and the resource consumers. The resource-exchange system organizes and tracks operations related to a resource exchange using a resource-exchange context.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Beveridge, Ricky Trigalo, Joerg Lew, Jivan Madtha, Anil Sharma

Patent number: 11625738Abstract: The current document is directed a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search-based auction methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing facilities. In one implementation, resource-provider computing facilities automatically generate hosting fees for hosting computational-resources-consuming entities on behalf of resource-consumer computing facilities that are included in bid-response messages returned by the resource-provider computing facilities in response to receiving bid-request messages. In another implementation, a cloud-exchange system automatically generates hosting fees on behalf of resource-provider computing facilities.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Beveridge, Joerg Lew

Patent number: 11502972Abstract: The current document is directed a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing-facilities based on attribute values associated with the needed resources, the resource providers, and the resource consumers. The resource-exchange system monitors and controls resource exchanges on behalf of participants in the resource-exchange system in order to optimize resource usage within participant data centers and computing facilities. By optimizing resource usage, the resource-exchange system drives participant data centers and computing facilities towards maximum operational efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Daniel James Beveridge, Ricky Trigalo, Joerg Lew

Patent number: 11368517Abstract: The current document is directed a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search-based auction methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing facilities. Multiple security methods and subsystems are employed to prevent unauthorized access to resource-exchange-system services, to secure resource-exchange-system-participant data from unauthorized access, and to prevent hosted virtual machines and other hosted computational entities from interfering with operation of native virtual machines and other native computational entities within hosting resource-provider computing facilities.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Daniel James Beveridge, Ricky Trigalo, Jivan Madtha, Anil Sharma, Joerg Lew

Publication number: 20200059401Abstract: Automated deployment of a public cloud is disclosed. The technology accesses, via a user interface, a cloud provider pod designer including a plurality of cloud provider platform components. Instructions comprising a plurality of public cloud requirements are received via the user interface. In addition, optimization suggestions for a cloud provider platform and based on the public cloud requirements are provided via the user interface. The cloud provider pod designer then designs a cloud provider platform. The cloud provider platform is then deployed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Applicant: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Wade Holmes, Simon Genzer, Aritra Paul, Yves Sandfort, Matthias Eisner, Fabian Lenz, Philip Kriener, Joerg Lew, Chris Johnson

The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing-facilities based on attribute values associated with the needed resources, the resource providers, and the resource consumers. Nested-hypervisor technology is employed, in disclosed implementations, to guarantee data security for, and prevent monitoring of operational states and characteristics of, resource-consumer virtual machines and virtual applications while they execute above leased computational resources in remote computing facilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2018Publication date: September 13, 2018Applicant: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Daniel James Beveridge, Ricky Trigalo, Joerg Lew
