  • PERFORMANCE-BASED PUBLIC CLOUD SELECTION FOR A HYBRID CLOUD ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20210173692
    Abstract: A hybrid cloud solution for securely extending a private cloud or network to a public cloud can be enhanced with tools for evaluating the resources offered by multiple public cloud providers. In an example embodiment, a public cloud evaluation system can be used to create a virtual machine (VM) in a public cloud to serve the function of a public cloud evaluation agent. The public cloud evaluation agent can instantiate one or more VMs and other resources in the public cloud, and configure the VMs and resources to execute performance evaluation software. The results of the performance evaluation software can be transmitted to a private enterprise network, and analyzed to determine whether the public cloud is an optimal public cloud for hosting an enterprise application.

  • Policy-driven automatic redundant fabric placement mechanism for virtual data centers
    Patent number: 9450810
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service provider management device provides a plurality of redundant fabric motifs, each indicating a subgraph pattern of logical connections for network segments of a virtual data center, and receives virtual data center tenant selection of one or more of the redundant fabric motifs for particular pairs of data center segments of the virtual data center. After determining available physical data center resources that correspond to the tenant selection of one or more of the redundant fabric motifs for particular pairs of data center segments, logical connections may then be established between particular network segments for the virtual data center according to the available physical data center resources corresponding to the tenant selection of one or more of the redundant fabric motifs for particular pairs of data center segments.
