Abstract: A system and method for backing up virtual machines are disclosed. To better use the backup resources, an optimal set of virtual machines needing backup during a time window is generated. The optimal set depends on a total time for backing up each virtual machine needing backup and a cost metric that indicates a cost of not backing up the virtual machine during the time window. The optimal set also meets various system constraints that reflect the backup resource limitations. Performing backups according to the optimal set limits the number of missed backups and the number of service level agreement violations, thereby improving the backup performance without costly additions to its infrastructure.

Abstract: A network management server allocates network addresses to a network gateway connected to a public network after receiving an allocation request that specifies a number of network addresses to allocate to the network gateway. The network management server determines a first and second subnets of the public network having, respectively, first and second pools of available network addresses capable of being allocated to devices on the public network, and allocates one or more available network addresses from the first and second pools to the network gateway.
