  • Methods and systems to determine and improve cost efficiency of virtual machines
    Patent number: 10261815
    Abstract: Methods and systems to compute cost efficiency of virtual machines (“VMs”) running in a private cloud are described. Methods and systems compute a cost efficiency value for each VM in the private cloud based on cost of the VM in the private cloud, cost of similar VMs in the private cloud, price of similar VM running in the public cloud, and the cost of similar VMs running in one or more private clouds in the same geographical area. When the cost efficiency of a VM is greater than a cost efficiency threshold, the methods generate an alert and recommendations for moving the VM to a lower cost public cloud.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2019
    Assignee: VMware, Inc.
    Inventors: Kumar Gaurav, Piyush Masrani, Ajay Gautam
