发明名称 Systems and methods for establishing a cloud bridge between virtual storage resources
摘要 Methods and systems for establishing a cloud bridge between two virtual storage resources and for transmitting data from one first virtual storage resource to the other virtual storage resource. The system can include a first virtual storage resource or cloud, and a storage delivery management service that executes on a computer and within the first virtual storage resource. The storage delivery management service can receive user credentials of a user that identify a storage adapter. Upon receiving the user credentials, the storage delivery management service can invoke the storage adapter which executes an interface that identifies a second virtual storage resource and includes an interface translation file. The storage delivery management service accesses the second virtual storage resource and establishes a cloud bridge with the second virtual storage resource using information obtained from the second virtual storage resource and information translated by the storage adapter using the interface translation file.

主权项 1. A method for establishing a cloud bridge between a first virtual storage resource and a second virtual storage resource for transmitting data from one of the first virtual storage resource and the second virtual storage resource to another of the first virtual storage resource and the second virtual storage resource, the method comprising: invoking, by a storage delivery management service, a storage adapter for a first virtual storage resource, the storage adapter associated with a user credential, wherein the storage delivery management service is executing on a computer within the first virtual storage resource and the first virtual storage resource is provisioned on at least one storage system comprising one or more hardware devices; enumerating, by the storage delivery management service, a list of virtual storage resources associated with the user credential, wherein the list includes a second virtual storage resource provisioned on at least one storage system comprising one or more hardware devices; executing, via an interface for the storage adapter, an instruction to identify the second virtual storage resource in the enumerated list, the interface comprising an interface translation file mapping each of a plurality of proprietary vendor-specific formats for representing properties and descriptive data of respective vendor's storage resources to a standardized format for representing properties and descriptive data of storage resources; and establishing, by the storage delivery management service, a cloud bridge between the first virtual storage resource and the second virtual storage resource using management information stored in a proprietary vendor-specific format for the second virtual storage resource, the management information translated to the standardized format by the storage adapter using the interface translation file.
