  • On-premises to cloud workload migration through cyclic deployment and evaluation
    Patent number: 11663048
    Abstract: A method and system for on-premises to cloud workload migration through cyclic deployment and evaluation. Existing processes for transferring on-premises workloads onto the public cloud are often painstakingly manual and laborious, in order to ensure proper workload interoperability between the different infrastructures. To address this existing dilemma in inter-infrastructure workload migration, the disclosed method and system employs a cyclic monitoring, deploying, and evaluating scheme to automate and implement optimal strategies for migrating on-premises workloads onto public and/or hybrid cloud computing environments.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COLLABORATIVE WORKLOAD PLACEMENT AND OPTIMIZATION
    Publication number: 20210294667
    Abstract: A method and system for collaborative workload placement and optimization. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail implementing metric exchange between hosts in a clustered or non-clustered environment to perform infrastructure workload placement and optimization decisions. The exchange of metrics may be performed through a lightweight service, which would not impact any existing environment resource utilization. Further, resource utilization maps may be used to offer near real-time tracking of resource utilization across the aforementioned hosts, thereby facilitating resource utilization forecasting for the efficient placement and optimization of workloads throughout the environment.
