Abstract: A system and method that automatically detects anomalies in a cloud service system on an ongoing basis and which can be used to trigger live migration of cloud services includes a cloud server system configured to provide a plurality of virtualized cloud services through processes running over a set of virtual machines hosted on the cloud server system, and a processor which receives data related to the operations of the virtual machines and determines whether any of the virtual machines are exhibiting anomalous behavior. The processor applies a Kalman Filter to make predictions on the future state and covariance of the virtual machines and then calculates the log likelihood of the predicted values. If the predicted values deemed to be very unlikely, then the processor signals that an anomaly has occurred.

Abstract: A method and system which enable the visualization of real time adjustments to assigned values and value weights in a dataset. The method and system allow information assurance operators to broadly evaluate and assign values to the different capabilities of a technology at varying levels of granularity and visualize the manner in which changes in actual values or the weight given to such values at the different levels of granularity influence the evaluation.

Abstract: A system and method maximize the availability of cloud services in the event of a disruption to one or more cloud servers by automatically triggering the live migration of selected cloud services and automatically performing the triggered migration of such services. The operational state of virtual machines operating on a cloud server and the services that are associated with the virtual machines is monitored. Different techniques are used for deciding when to migrate cloud services based on the automatic detection of anomalies, for deciding what cloud services to migrate so as to maximize the availability of high priority services during migration under time and network bandwidth constraints, and for deciding where to migrate the selected cloud services based on a determination of the best location for migration.
