A method for providing resource throttling management. The method includes accessing a distributed computer system having a plurality of nodes, initiating a new object policy object backup protection for a new object, and implementing a discovery process to determine computer environment components subject to stress. The method further includes generating a physical resource throttling protocol in accordance with the components subject to stress, and processing the new object in accordance with the object management policy and in accordance with the throttling protocol.

Resource throttling and automated policy management in a virtual machine environment

A method for providing object policy management. The method includes accessing a distributed computer system having a plurality of nodes, and initiating a new object policy object backup protection for a new object. The method further includes processing a list of object attributes available for the new object policy, and processing the list to generate an object management policy. The new object is then processed in accordance with the object management policy.

Automated policy management in a virtual machine environment

Techniques for improving snapshot performance are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for improving snapshot performance comprising initiating change block tracking for each unit of storage associated with each of a plurality of virtual machines, creating backup images of each unit of storage associated with each of the plurality of virtual machines, quiescing each of the plurality of virtual machines, and creating snapshots of each unit of storage associated with each of the plurality of virtual machines. The techniques may include identifying one or more changed blocks in at least one of the backup images using the change block tracking, editing the at least one of the backup images by replacing the identified one or more changed blocks using corresponding blocks from at least one snapshot of the snapshots, and releasing the at least one snapshot based upon a determination that editing has completed.
