A system, computer program product, and method is described to manage cloud bursting from a private cloud to a public cloud. The method starts with executing one or more software components of at least one application receiving transaction requests on at least one processing node accessing at least one database server. The one processing node is managed by at least one controller in a first deployment model of a computing infrastructure. The controller, the processing nodes and the database servers each include instrumentation for tracking of performance metrics thereof. A map is created of transaction requests received by the controller to data resources in the database by analyzing the set of common structures. The map is used to identify which of the software components and corresponding data resources in the database to move a processing node in a second deployment model of a computing infrastructure.

On-demand workload management in cloud bursting

A method for determining a range of files to be migrated is disclosed, comprising: comparing the source system environment to be migrated with a set of incremental target system environments, to discover the change files in each of the target system environments relative to the source system environment, wherein each target system environment in the set of incremental target system environments comprises software on which the migration target application depends, and the software contained in the different target system environments is incremental; classifying the change files into different change patterns according to the change types of the change files in each comparison and the different change types of the change files among multiple comparisons; and determining a range of files to be migrated according to the change pattern.

Method and apparatus for determining a range of files to be migrated

The present invention describes a method and system for preparing a migration and consolidation of at least one source application to be migrated to or consolidated in at least one heterogeneous server device. A computing system selects at least one prospective target platform component based on an evaluation of at least one source platform component, a requirement of the at least one source application, and a compatibility and an affinity of the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects first metadata of the at least one source platform component and the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects second metadata associated with the migration and consolidation. The computing system groups the first metadata and the second metadata into a RFM (Request For Migration). The computing system prepares and configures a final target platform in accordance with the RFM.

Assisting server migration

An exemplary method (which can be computer implemented) for enhancing migration of software applications from a source system environment to a destination system environment includes the steps of translating needs into requirements for the destination system, capturing deployment and configuration of the software applications in the source system environment and the destination system environment in a centralized model, analyzing dependencies between the systems in the source and destination systems to construct a mapping between the requirements and elements of the model, and generating enhanced migration rules, based, at least in part, on the mapping.

Method for optimizing migration of software applications to address needs

A method (which can be computer implemented) for addressing errors during migration of software applications includes the step of obtaining access to a data repository, which includes a listing of migration decisions and a listing of dependencies associated with the migration decisions. The method further includes the steps of obtaining an indication of a migration error, tracing the migration error to at least a first one of the migration decisions in the data repository, and employing the listing of dependencies to identify at least a second one of the migration decisions, depending on the at least first one of the migration decisions identified in the tracing step, which is impacted by the migration error. Techniques for populating the data repository are also provided.
