Abstract
A system and method for automatic and dynamic virtual machine (VM) group membership adjustment to identify and maintain VM groupings for maintaining a data consistency and availability at a computer recovery site in response to a disaster event. Based on a hybrid approach of network and storage analytics using cognitive methods, the system automatically groups the VMs based on patterns of data exchanged between the VMs. The system can store the patterns found during the analysis, find the critical elements in those patterns (like VMs playing the key role of DB server), match the patterns and use them in case a detected failure to make the system functional again at the recovery site. The system stores the communications traffic patterns learned during the network analysis and uses analytics to form or change the VM grouping, and can perform the pattern matching to quickly readjust the group.
