Abstract: A method, host machine, and a virtual network for distributing application delivery controller services in a virtual network are presented. The method includes activating a first application delivery controller (ADC) agent on at least a first host machine of a plurality of host machines included in the virtual network, wherein the first host machine is configured to host at least one client; intercepting, by the first ADC agent, a request from the at least one client, wherein the request is for a service provided by one server of a plurality of servers hosted by the plurality of host machines; selecting, by the first ADC agent, a server of the plurality of servers to serve the request; forwarding, by the first ADC agent, the intercepted request to the selected server; and relaying a response to the intercepted request received from the selected server to the at least one client.

Abstract: A method and system for an assisted live migration of virtual machines are provided. The method monitoring, by an advisory server, at least a workload of physical machines in a datacenter; determining if at least one physical machine is overloaded based on the monitored workload; for each of the at least one physical machine determined to be overloaded, selecting at least one virtual machine resides in the respective physical machine, wherein the selection is based at least on a current load of the virtual machine; and initiating a live migration of the selected virtual machine when the current load is lower than a comfort load level.

Abstract: A method for an assisted live migration of virtual machines is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an assist request for assisting in a migration of a virtual machine, wherein the assist request includes at least a comfort load level; determining a current load of the virtual machine to be migrated; comparing the current load to the comfort load level; reducing a load on the virtual machine to be migrated until the current load is lower than the comfort load level; and initiating a live migration of the virtual machine to be migrated when the current load is lower than the comfort load level.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring network and application performance. In one embodiment the method comprises logging information on network interface card (NIC) events involving a web page transaction, logging information on web server events involving the web page transaction, logging information on client browser events involving the web page transaction, collecting the information on NIC events, the information on web server events, and the information on client browser events on a collector server, and correlating the information on NIC events, the information on web server events, and the information on client browser events. In a further embodiment, correlating the information may comprise correlating the information on NIC events with the information on web server events by grouping the events by a client address and by a server address and then matching pairs of NIC events and web server events by time and data transfer size.
