20120023187 | Multi-Tenant Universal Storage Manager - In one aspect, a universal storage manager in a multi-tenant computing system receives at least one message requesting a change to a storage infrastructure of the multi-tenant computing system. Thereafter, the universal storage manager associates the requested change with one of a plurality of operations changing the storage infrastructure. Once this association is made, the universal storage manager initiates the associated operation to change the storage infrastructure. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described. | 01-26-2012 |
20120173488 | TENANT-SEPARATED DATA STORAGE FOR LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT IN A MULTI-TENANCY ENVIRONMENT - A system, method and computer program product for tenant separated data storage for lifecycle management in a multi-tenancy environment is presented. A plurality of data containers is defined in a storage subsystem, each data container comprising a main data storage and a file system data storage for receiving, respectively, main data and file system data, each of the plurality of data containers being separate from all other data containers of the plurality of data containers. For each tenant of a plurality of tenants of a multi-tenancy computing system, main data is stored in the main data storage of one of the plurality of data containers and storing file system data in the file system data storage of the one of the plurality of data containers. For a transaction to be executed with a source tenant, only main data and file system data is accessed from a data container associated with the source tenant. The transaction is executed with the main data and file system data accessed from the data container associated with the source tenant. | 07-05-2012 |
20120174113 | TENANT VIRTUALIZATION CONTROLLER FOR A MULTI-TENANCY ENVIRONMENT - A system and method for performing load balancing of systems in a multi-tenancy computing environment by shifting tenants from an overloaded system to a non-overloaded system. Initially, a determination is made as to whether a first tenant desires an access to an instance of a software application. The same instance of the software application is being accessed by other tenants of a first system. If the tenant desires access to the same instance of the software application, the tenant is created at the first system. The created first tenant and the other tenants exist in a multi-tenancy computing environment that enables the first tenant and the other tenants to access a same instance of a software application. Then, it is checked whether the first system is overloaded. If the first system is overloaded, load balancing is performed as follows. The first tenant is exported from the overloaded first system to a lesser loaded second system. The data containers of the first tenant remain stationary at a virtual storage. The first tenant is enabled to access the same instance of the software application that it was accessing while at the first system, but now using memory resources and processing resources of the second system. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described. | 07-05-2012 |
20130305244 | PREASSEMBLED, RAPLIDLY DEPLOYABLE SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS - Various embodiments provide mechanisms that mitigate organizational exposures when evaluating and choosing computer applications, enhancements, and modifications thereto. Some embodiments provide technological solutions that allow for rapid application prototyping, deployment, evaluation, testing, and the act of going live in a production environment. Some such embodiments provide applications including content and data, in the form of virtual appliance templates, that is pre-installed, pre-configured, pre-tested, and pre-loaded in a very rapid manner. Some embodiments may further allow for cloning of the instantiated application to another virtual computing environment, and utilization from that location on forward looking basis. | 11-14-2013 |
20150127793 | BUILDING AND TRANSPORTING CENTRALLY MODIFIED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS - Various embodiments herein include at least one of systems, methods, and software for building and transporting centrally configured and modified software systems. Such embodiments provide for a virtual appliance to be configured and customized prior to transport of the virtual appliance to the target organization. Once configured and customized, the software system of the virtual appliance is reassembled into a virtual appliance, transported, and rapidly deployed in a form as needed by the organization. This results in significant cost, time, and risk exposure mitigation. | 05-07-2015 |
20150128132 | INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF CENTRALLY MODIFIED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS - Various embodiments here in provide systems, methods, and software for integrated management of centrally modified software systems. Some embodiments include a landscape virtualization management application through which software systems in the form of virtual appliances may be selected, deployed, and started. The virtual appliance in such embodiments may have been transported to an implementing organization, encapsulated in a virtual appliance, in a preconfigured and pre-modified form. | 05-07-2015 |
20150128133 | VIRTUAL APPLIANCE INTEGRATION WITH CLOUD MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE - Various embodiments here in provide systems, methods, and software for virtual appliance integration with cloud management software. Some embodiments include a landscape virtualization management application through which software systems in the form of virtual appliances may generated and deployed. Further, metadata included in a data structure of a virtual appliance enable integration with existing cloud management software to allow viewing and searching for available virtual appliances and selecting, deployment, and management thereof. | 05-07-2015 |
20150149993 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR BUILDING A SOFTWARE APPLIANCE - A computer implemented method may include installing a software appliance on a first computer system, the software appliance including database software and a business application. The software appliance may be configured on the first computer system to a predetermined configuration of the business application and the database software. The configured software appliance may be detached from an operating system of the first computing device. The detaching of the software appliance may include collecting metadata associated with the software appliance, the operating system and hardware the first system. The detached software appliance and the metadata may be stored on computer readable medium. | 05-28-2015 |
