Abstract: A method for managing a client environment includes obtaining, by a client device upgrade manager, an upgrade estimation for a client device executing in the client environment, wherein the upgrade estimation corresponds to an application upgrade for an application, in response to the upgrade estimation: performing an optimal time slot analysis for the client device to identify a set of optimal time slots, presenting the set of optimal time slots to the client device, obtaining, by the client device, a requested time slot for the application, and in response to the requested time slot, initiating an installation of an application upgrade of the application.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions for creating and executing migration workflows to replicate or migrate data (collectively referred to herein as ‘migration’) from one device or set of devices to another device or set of devices (e.g., from one computing environment to another). The method of migration involves determining periods of time when the application has decreased use or idle time. This decreased use or idle time is used to determine the optimal time to perform a migration of the application. Based on the calculated migration time as well as the time it takes to load the application after migration, the maintenance planner can alert users and help insure a successful migration.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions for creating and executing migration workflows to replicate or migrate data (collectively referred to herein as ‘migration’) from one device or set of devices to another device or set of devices (e.g., from one computing environment to another). The method of migration involves determining the health of a device used by the applications and prioritizing the migration of applications based, in part, on the health of the devices executing the applications that are to be migrated.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions for creating and executing migration workflows to replicate or migrate data (collectively referred to herein as ‘migration’) from one device or set of devices to another device or set of devices (e.g., from one computing environment to another). The method of migration involves using a slicing customizer to assign the applications, or parts of the applications, to network slice queues based on predetermined rules. The slices in the queues are then migrated by a network slicing controller.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions for creating and executing migration workflows to replicate or migrate data (collectively referred to herein as ‘migration’) from one device or set of devices to another device or set of devices (e.g., from one computing environment to another). The method of migration involves obtaining relationship information with regards to the applications that will be migrated from one device to another device or set of devices, and classifying the applications based on their relationships such as HAS-A and IS-A. Based on these classifications, one or more embodiments of the invention generate a relationship matrix in order to assign priority to the migration of each individual application. The applications are then migrated based on the matrix and assigned priorities.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention may receive information related to a plurality of application upgrades from an application monitoring agent. Based on the received information, a device emulation will be requested, and an emulation will be performed in response to generate an application upgrade strategy that includes such things as emulated (e.g., predicted) upgrade times. The application upgrade strategy is used to produce a more refined upgrade strategy. The various embodiments refine the upgrade strategy by specifically consider the power consumption and cost for the power that is consumed.
