  • Distributed resource scheduling based on network utilization
    Patent number: 11146498
    Abstract: Examples provide a network-utilization based scheduler that considers network utilization when load balancing virtual computing instances (VCIs) in a cluster. The scheduler also periodically evaluates proposed migrations based on a current cluster snapshot including network utilization data of the hosts. Proposed migrations are removed and/or prioritized to prevent network saturation in the cluster.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 12, 2021
    Assignee: VMWARE, INC.

  • Resource allocation diagnosis on distributed computer systems based on resource hierarchy
    Patent number: 9379995
    Abstract: A system and method for performing a resource allocation diagnosis on a distributed computer system includes obtaining a target resource allocation and a snapshot of the distributed computer system, where the snapshot includes configurations and resource usage information of at least some components of the distributed computer system, and generating a resource allocation recommendation based on the target resource allocation and the snapshot by iteratively traversing a resource hierarchy in the distributed computer system. The resource allocation recommendation specifies at least one resource configuration action or at least one capacity expansion action for the distributed computer system to meet the target resource allocation.
