  • System for conversion between physical machines, virtual machines and machine images
    Patent number: 8606886
    Abstract: A system and method for converting machines from one form to another. For example a virtual machine may be moved to a physical machine or vice versa. Conversions may also be performed with images. An image is a static datastore of the state of a machine at a given time. All conversions are achieved by pushing a job containing information on the actions to be performed to a controller. A controller resides on the machine where the actions must take place and executes and reports on the status of the job.

  • A Method for Providing Live File Transfer Between Machines
    Publication number: 20080033902
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for transferring operating systems, applications and data between a source machine and a target machine while the source machine is running. Attempting to do so introduces the problem of attempting to transfer files that may be in use or “live”, as such they will be locked by another process during the transfer. The present invention addresses the problem of transferring locked files and ensuring the most current version is transferred to the target machine.
