Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a facilitator system (“FS”), a BDE for a customer of a cloud service provider, processing the BDE to determine a customer workload coverage need, determining an optimal blend of commitments needed, joining accounts owned by the FS to the customer's organization in response, where at least one commitment is held in each FS's account, and monitoring the customer's workload coverage needs to detect a change. In response to the change, the method further includes adding accounts to, or subtracting accounts from (in whole or in part), the customer's organization. A system contains instructions stored in memory that, when executed, cause one or more processors to receive N-days of on-demand workload usage for a customer; calculate a stable usage baseline based thereon; calculate a target coverage for the customer, and allocate a set of customer use discounts (“CUDs”) to cover the target coverage.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods of migrating clients between databases with different schemas. A database migrator may identify a first database accessible by the client including a first data object maintained in accordance with a first schema. The database migrator may generate, using the first database, a second database including the first data object from the first database. The database migrator may store, onto the second database in accordance with a second schema, a second data object received by the first database subsequent to generation of the second database. The database migrator may convert the first data object of the second database from the first schema to the second schema. The database migrator may migrate the client from the first database to the second database responsive to the completion of storing and converting.
