A method and system for managing an application in a cloud data center by monitoring the bandwidth of a subnet of which the primary operating instance of an application is a member. If a severe deterioration in the bandwidth caused by an over consumption of the subnet resources from other subnet constituents is detected, a suitable secondary instance in an alternate, uncompromised subnet is located and primary operation of the application is transferred from the former primary operating instance to the secondary instance. The secondary instance can be pre-launched or dynamically requisitioned according to various embodiments.

Method and system for application migration due to degraded quality of service

Novel techniques are provided to determine concurrent hardware resource usage as expressed in activity performed by hardware processors. A cloud computing consumer can verify the level of the quality of service provided by the physical infrastructure of a cloud, thereby allowing the consumer the ability to request a transfer of the hosting physical infrastructure to a less burdened physical machine.

Methods for measuring physical CPU utilization in a cloud computing infrastructure

A novel web server farm architecture is provided that combines various cloud components and innovatively maximizes their strengths to achieve a scalable, adaptable, load balanced computing architecture. In one embodiment, this architecture includes a storage host for static content hosting, a cluster of virtual machines (operating as web servers) for dynamic content hosting, and a dedicated application engine for monitoring the load of the virtual machines. A browser or end-application user of a web application is first routed to a static anchor page hosted on the storage host. The browser is subsequently presented with a list of virtual machines and data corresponding to their respective current loads. To access dynamic content, the browser is able to select from the virtual machines based in large part on the reported current loads of the virtual machines. Once a virtual machine is selected, the browser may communicate directly with the selected web server.

Method and system for client-side scaling of web server farm architectures in a cloud data center

As a result of the systems and methods described herein, an alternative MapReduce implementation is provided which monitors for impending termination notices, and allows dynamic checkpointing and storing of processed portions of a map task, such that any processing which is interrupted by large scale terminations of a plurality of computing devices&#x2014;such as those resulting from spot market rate fluctuations&#x2014;is preserved.

System and method for performing distributed parallel processing tasks in a spot market

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for designing a test network in an integrated application, and configuring remote network devices through a network design application to test a network design. One embodiment of the present claimed subject matter is provided as a system for automatically configuring remote network devices to simulate a network connection. The system includes a plurality of computing devices which are physically coupled to one or more network devices, wherein the network devices are automatically configured to comprise a test network corresponding to a remote test network topology design.

Automatically connecting remote network equipment through a graphical user interface

A novel solution is provided that utilizes the two-credential characteristics of accessing cloud-hosted data in a portal-oriented enterprise-specific solution. Cloud computing resources may be accessed through a separate, enterprise-specific portal clients used to manage a set of cloud service accounts. Individuals (e.g., employees of the enterprise or company) may access cloud computing resources via an instance of the portal client, and any communication between individuals in an enterprise and cloud services may be facilitated through the portal. Each portal client may also be configured to be compatible with any cloud service vendor.

Measuring CPU utilization in a cloud computing infrastructure by artificially executing a bursting application on a virtual machine

A method and system for managing an application in a cloud data center by monitoring the bandwidth of a subnet of which the primary operating instance of an application is a member. If a severe deterioration in the bandwidth caused by an over consumption of the subnet resources from other subnet constituents is detected, a suitable secondary instance in an alternate, uncompromised subnet is located and primary operation of the application is transferred from the former primary operating instance to the secondary instance. The secondary instance can be pre-launched or dynamically requisitioned in the cloud data center.

A computing device configures virtual machines using configuration commands. Each of the virtual machines may boot from a corresponding virtual machine image file. As a virtual machine boots or executes, the virtual machine may read from or write to application and operating system files included in the corresponding virtual machine image file. Prior to the virtual machine booting, the computing device may get or set configuration properties of the operating system and applications to be booted in a respective virtual machine by reading from or writing to the application and operating system files included in the corresponding virtual machine image file. The computing device may execute configuration commands to get or set the configuration properties of the operating system and the applications.

Virtual machine configuration system

GridBatch provides an infrastructure framework that hides the complexities and burdens of developing logic and programming application that implement detail parallelized computations from programmers. A programmer may use GridBatch to implement parallelized computational operations that minimize network bandwidth requirements, and efficiently partition and coordinate computational processing in a multiprocessor configuration. GridBatch provides an effective and lightweight approach to rapidly build parallelized applications using economically viable multiprocessor configurations that achieve the highest performance results.
