  • Cache mobility
    Patent number: 9547592
    Abstract: A method and system of selecting and migrating relevant data from among data associated with a workload of a virtual machine and stored in source storage cache memory in a dynamic computing environment is described. The method includes selecting one or more policies, the one or more policies including a size policy defining a default maximum size for the relevant data. The method also includes selecting the relevant data from among the data based on the one or more policies in a default mode, and migrating the relevant data from the source storage cache memory to target storage cache memory.
    Type: Grant

  • Managing resource lease duration using a lease modifier as a function of resource utilization metric and initial decay rate value for on-demand computing
    Patent number: 8347300
    Abstract: A method and system of managing resource lease duration for on-demand computing is provided. The system can include one or more resources having a metric capturing tool; and a provisioning manager in communication with the one or more resources. The provisioning manager can receive a request for at least one resource from the requester. The provisioning manager can provision the at least one resource from the one or more resources. The metric capturing tool can communicate one or more metrics associated with performance of the at least one resource to the provisioning manager. The provisioning manager can determine a lease modifier based at least in part on the one or more metrics. The provisioning manager can adjust a lease duration for the at least one resource based at least in part on the lease modifier.
