  • Virtualization simulation engine including assuming a dormant state for a lower priority application
    Patent number: 9471447
    Abstract: An approach is provided for determining disaster recovery capacity. A simulation hypervisor receives streaming metric data, which represents the current production workload of a primary site, from the primary site. The metric data is combined with production data of the backup site by the simulation hypervisor to simulate a recovery event. Using data from the simulating, disaster recovery planning can be performed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2016
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Erik Bartholomy, Christopher P. Evans, Frank J. Giordano, Gordan G. Greenlee, Paul W. Novak, Richard J. Sheftic, Victor L. Walter

  • CENTRALIZED ENTERPRISE LEVEL INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20130326035
    Abstract: An approach is provided for managing an enterprise computer system. Management functions are coordinated from a central control point. The central control point can direct one or more agents to be deployed to establish a connection to an element in its unmodified form within the enterprise system. Agents can be directed by the central control point to establish this connection in accordance with a profile that corresponds to the element. Once the connection has been established, the agent can perform a management task with respect to the element.
