System And Method For Continuous Optimization Of Computing Systems With Automated Assignment Of Virtual Machines And Physical Machines To Hosts
view source
US Patent:

20140019966, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:

Jul 13, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/549259
Inventors:

Douglas M. Neuse - Austin TX, US
Laurence E. Clay - Austin TX, US
Neal Tibrewala - Austin TX, US
Kenneth C. Zink - Austin TX, US
Paul Peterson - Round Rock TX, US
International Classification:

G06F 9/455
US Classification:

718 1
Abstract:

A system and method for automatically reconfiguring a computing environment comprises a consumption analysis server, a placement server, a deployment server in communication with a set of virtual machine monitors and a data warehouse in communication with a set of data collection agents, and a database. The consumption analysis server operates on measured resource utilization data in the data warehouse to yield a set of resource consumptions, available capacities and host and virtual machine configurations from the computing environment. The deployment server continuously monitors an event triggering condition and when the triggering condition is met, the placement server assigns a set of target virtual machines to a target set of hosts in a new placement and the deployment server implements the new placement through communication with the set of virtual machine monitors. The placement server right-sizes the virtual machines and the target set of hosts.

US Patent:

20140019965, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:

Jul 13, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/549221
Inventors:

Douglas M. Neuse - Austin TX, US
Laurence E. Clay - Austin TX, US
Neal Tibrewala - Austin TX, US
Kenneth C. Zink - Austin TX, US
Paul Peterson - Round Rock TX, US
International Classification:

G06F 9/455
US Classification:

718 1
Abstract:

A system and method for reconfiguring a computing environment comprising a consumption analysis server, a placement server and a data warehouse in communication with a set of data collection agents and a database. The consumption analysis server operates on measured resource utilization data to yield a set of resource consumptions in regularized time blocks, collects host and virtual machine configurations from the computing environment and determines available capacity for a set of target hosts. The placement server assigns a set of target virtual machines to the target set of hosts in a new placement that is right-sized according to a set of right-sizing constraints and rules. In one mode of operation the new placement is nearly optimal. In another mode of operation, the new placement is “good enough” to achieve a threshold score based on an objective function of capacity headroom. The new placement is implemented in the computing environment.

US Patent:

20140019964, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:

Jul 13, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/549143
Inventors:

Douglas M. Neuse - Austin TX, US
Laurence E. Clay - Austin TX, US
Neal Tibrewala - Austin TX, US
Kenneth C. Zink - Austin TX, US
Paul Peterson - Round Rock TX, US
International Classification:

G06F 9/455
US Classification:

718 1
Abstract:

A system and method for reconfiguring a computing environment comprising a consumption analysis server, a placement server and a data warehouse in communication with a set of data collection agents and a database. The consumption analysis server operates on measured resource utilization data to yield a set of resource consumptions in a set of regularized time blocks in a set of sample periods, and, to group regularized time blocks across a set of sample periods to form a set of interval groups. The placement server assigns a set of target virtual machines to the target set of hosts in a new placement and scores the new placement in an effort to meet a threshold score based on an objective function of resource capacity headroom. In one aspect, the scoring relies on percentile analysis of resource consumption in the interval groups. The new placement is implemented in the computing environment.

US Classification:

718 1
Abstract:

A system and method for reconfiguring a computing environment comprising a consumption analysis server, a placement server, an infrastructure management client and a data warehouse in communication with a set of data collection agents and a database. The consumption analysis server operates on measured resource utilization data to yield a set of resource consumptions in regularized time blocks, collects host and virtual machine configurations from the computing environment and determines available capacity for a set of target hosts. The placement server assigns a set of target virtual machines to the target set of hosts in a new placement. In one mode of operation the new placement is nearly optimal. In another mode of operation, the new placement is “good enough” to achieve a threshold score based on an objective function of resource capacity headroom. The new placement is implemented in the computing environment.
