Appl. No.:

12/709954

Inventors:

Julian J. Box - St Helier, JE
Kevin D. Reid - Bethesda MD, US
Adam J. L. Ryan - Watford, GB

Assignee:

Virtustream, Inc. - Bethesda MD

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

718104, 718105

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a processor-readable medium can be configured to store code representing instructions to be executed by a processor. The code can include code to receive an indicator that a set of virtual resources has been identified for quarantine at a portion of a data center. The code can also include code to execute, during at least a portion of a quarantine time period, at least a portion of a virtual resource from the set of virtual resources at a quarantined portion of hardware of the data center that is dedicated to execute the set of virtual resources in response to the indicator and not execute virtual resources associated with non-quarantine operation.

Assignee:

Virtustream, Inc. - Bethesda MA

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

718 1

Abstract:

In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a memory configured to store a first hypervisor message and a second hypervisor message. The apparatus can further include a hypervisor interface module. The hypervisor interface module can retrieve, from the memory, the first hypervisor message and the second hypervisor message. The hypervisor interface module can define a first signal, the first signal being based at least in part on the first hypervisor message and having a first format associated with a first hypervisor platform. The hypervisor interface module can define a second signal, the second signal being based at least in part on the second hypervisor message and having a second format associated with a second hypervisor platform. The hypervisor interface module can send the first signal to a first virtual machine instantiated according to the first hypervisor platform. The hypervisor interface module can send the second signal to a second virtual machine instantiated according to the second hypervisor platform.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455
G06F 9/46
G06F 3/00

US Classification:

718 1, 718104, 710 19

Abstract:

In one embodiment, an apparatus can include a monitoring module configured to send an indicator representing that performance of a virtual resource satisfies a threshold condition. The apparatus can also include a management module configured to move a set of virtual resources including the virtual resource from a first portion of data center hardware resources to a second portion of data center hardware resources mutually exclusive from the first portion of data center hardware resources in response to the indicator. The management module can be configured to define the set of virtual resources based on an operational relationship between the virtual resource and the remaining virtual resources included in the set of virtual resources.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46
G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718 1, 718104

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a processor-readable medium can be configured to store code representing instructions to be executed by a processor. The code can include code to receive a request to change a value representing a number of data center units included in a set of data center units assigned to a user. Each of the data center units from the set of data center units can be associated with hardware resources managed based on a set of predefined hardware resource limit values. The code can include code to determine, in response to the request, whether hardware resources of a data center unit mutually exclusive from hardware resources of the set of data center units and managed based on the set of predefined resource limit values is available for assignment to the user when the request to change is an increase request.

H01M 10/46

US Classification:

700295, 320134, 320101, 713320

Abstract:

The present invention provides a distributed energy storage system, and applications thereof. In an embodiment, the distributed energy storage system includes power units, wherein each power unit has a multi-cell battery; a battery manager that monitors battery cell voltages and temperatures; and a controller. The controller provides a first control signal that causes the power unit to store energy in the battery and a second control signal that causes the power unit to generate an alternating current. A server in communication with each of the power units stores data collected from the power units about the batteries and analyzes the data to determine how much available energy is stored in the batteries that can be used to alter a load demand of a power network. In an embodiment, the batteries are lithium ion batteries capable of storing at least ten kilowatthours of energy.
