REPLICATION OF VIRTUALIZED INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A management platform, which includes a plurality of virtual machines, wherein one virtual machine utilizes a first hypervisor and is linked to resources in a first virtual environment of an enterprise data center, and one virtual machine uses a second heterogeneous hypervisor and is linked to resources in a second virtual environment of a cloud. A user interface allows a user to set a policy with respect to disaster recovery of the computing resources of the enterprise data center. A control component replicates some of the infrastructure of the enterprise data center to the second virtual environment of the cloud computing infrastructure, controls the plurality of virtual machines to provide failover to the cloud computing infrastructure when triggered based at least in part on the user-set policy, and controls the plurality of virtual machines to provide recovery back to the enterprise data center after failover to the cloud computing infrastructure.

1. A management platform for handling disaster recovery relating to computing resources of an enterprise, the management platform comprising:
a plurality of virtual machines, wherein at least one virtual machine utilizes a first hypervisor and is linked to resources in a first virtual environment of an enterprise data center, and at least one virtual machine uses a second hypervisor and is linked to resources in a second virtual environment of a cloud computing infrastructure, wherein the first and the second virtual environments are heterogeneous and do not share a common programming language; and a control component that abstracts infrastructure of the enterprise data center using a virtual file system abstraction layer, monitors the resources of the enterprise data center, and replicates at least some of the infrastructure of the enterprise data center to the second virtual environment of the cloud computing infrastructure based at least in part on the abstraction.
