NETWORK AWARE COORDINATION OF VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATIONS IN ENTERPRISE DATA CENTERS AND CLOUDS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed to schedule virtual machine (VM) migrations by analyzing VM migration behavior; building a simulation tool to predict time for multiple migrations under different links conditions and VM characteristics; determing a predetermined bandwidth sharing policy for each network link; applying a bin packing technique to organize bandwidth resources from all network links and allocating the links to different migration tasks.
