摘要： A method and a system of making a virtual machine space efficient are disclosed. The virtual machine includes a virtual disk. The method includes creating a temporary virtual disk and adding the temporary virtual disk to the virtual machine. The temporary virtual disk works in conjunction with the virtual disk. The virtual machine is configured to store temporary files in the temporary virtual disk rather than the virtual disk.

摘要： The system provisions and upgrades a private cloud stack from a public cloud application. The system registers and activates installed private cloud stacks to discover names, and software packages. The system enables each private cloud stack's roles for data plane elements and activates a private cloud stack. The system receives connection request from the installed host agent to customer resource manager. The system receives host related information from host agent. The software system stores and pushes the desired state for particular host agent to the host agent. The system installs components on enterprise machine associated with role via host agent. The system configures said installed components using templates and dynamic template parameters. The system receives continuous configuration updates for the installed components and continuous heart beat messages for account manager. The system displays visual alerts via UI for any heartbeat, component install or configuration failures.

摘要： An architecture and system are described that provide a unified file access service within in a managed computing environment composed of diverse networks, computing devices, and storage devices. The service provides mechanisms for remotely accessing the file systems of any managed computer or disk snapshot, independently of the computer's current state (powered on, suspended or powered off), its location within the environment, its hardware type (virtual vs. physical), its operating system type, and its file system formats. The system isolates centralized FPAs from the details of clients, proxies and storage elements by providing a service that decomposes offloaded file system access into two steps. A FPA or a requester acting on behalf of the FPA first expresses the disk set or the computer containing the file systems it wishes to access, along with requirements and preferences about the access method. The service figures out an efficient data path satisfying the FPA's needs, and then automatically configures a set of storage and computing resources to provide the data path. The service then replies with information about the resources and instructions for using them. The FPA then accesses the requested file systems using the returned information.

摘要： A method and system for offloading a software application intended to be run on a first virtual machine onto a second virtual machine. An original virtual machine is created. A periodic and/or computing resource-intensive application is supposed to be run on the original virtual machine. However, doing so may detrimentally impact the operation of the original virtual machine by consuming valuable computing resources. A replicated virtual machine which is basically a copy of the original virtual machine is created and ported over to a different host computer system. The periodic and/or computing-intensive application is now run on the replicated virtual machine instead of the original virtual machine. This leaves the original virtual machine free to continue its normal operations unaffected.

摘要： An agent loaded in a computer's operating system (OS) simulates disconnection and reconnection of a device, with no need to actually disconnect the device logically from a computer. During simulated reconnection, when the OS requests the hardware ID of the device, the agent returns a substitute ID, which causes the OS to load a substitute driver. Substitution of the ID also allows driver substitution for a not yet logically connected device; in this cases, no simulated disconnection or reconnection is needed. Driver substitution is dynamic and reversible, with no need to restart the system or reboot the OS and substitution of a driver for one device of a type does not disturb other devices of the same type. The invention may be implemented entirely in software, with no need for hardware modifications or device customization.

摘要翻译： 加载在计算机操作系统（OS）中的代理模拟设备的断开连接和重新连接，而不需要从计算机上实际断开设备的连接。 在模拟重新连接期间，当OS请求设备的硬件ID时，代理返回一个替代ID，这将导致OS加载替代驱动程序。 ID的替换还允许驱动器替换尚未逻辑连接的设备; 在这种情况下，不需要模拟断开或重新连接。 驱动程序替换是动态和可逆的，无需重新启动系统或重新启动操作系统，替换一个类型的一个设备的驱动程序不会干扰同一类型的其他设备。 本发明可以完全以软件实现，而不需要硬件修改或设备定制。

摘要： A process of providing access to data associated with a virtual machine running on a host computer system to an offload server is implemented to improve the performance of the host computer system. Once the offload computer system knows how and where to access the data associated with that of the virtual machine, operations can be offloaded from the host computer system and performed by the offload server. Backup operations can be offloaded onto the server. The server can run backup software and directly access the data associated with the virtual machine, thereby freeing the hardware resources of the host computer to handle normal applications running on the virtual machine.

摘要： A provisioning server automatically configures a virtual machine (VM) according to user specifications and then deploys the VM on a physical host. The user may either choose from a list of pre-configured, ready-to-deploy VMs, or he may select which hardware, operating system and application(s) he would like the VM to have. The provisioning server then configures the VM accordingly, if the desired configuration is available, or it applies heuristics to configure a VM that best matches the user's request if it isn't. The invention also includes mechanisms for monitoring the status of VMs and hosts, for migrating VMs between hosts, and for creating a network of VMs.
