Title: Innovations by Ana B Parra
Introduction
Ana B Parra is a notable inventor based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She has made significant contributions to the field of cloud computing, holding a total of 3 patents. Her work focuses on optimizing cloud workload management, which is crucial for enhancing the efficiency of cloud computing systems.
Latest Patents
Ana's latest patents include the "Smart Cloud Workload Balancer - A Method and System." This invention describes a cloud computing system that is configured into an operative status by defining a virtual machine (VM) topology. This topology represents a respective virtual machine assignment for each physical server within the cloud computing system. The system utilizes an objects database (ODB) that stores the respective software cost per software application in various software license pools, as well as the power cost of the cloud computing system. It identifies when the cloud computing system is not performing optimally concerning the total cost, which is the sum of the software and power costs. The workload is then distributed according to a new VM topology that minimizes the total cost of the cloud computing system.
Another of her recent patents is the "Smart Cloud Workload Balancer - A Method and System for Dynamically Optimizing Workload of a Cloud Computing System." Similar to her previous patent, this invention also defines a VM topology and utilizes an ODB to store business policies, software costs, and power costs. It ensures that the cloud computing system operates at optimal efficiency by redistributing workloads based on the minimum total cost, adhering to the business policies stored in the ODB.
