20140130046 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND CONFIGURATION METHOD - An information processing unit of a communication apparatus includes a non-volatile memory and a volatile memory. A control unit of the communication apparatus loads the boot image from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory upon activation of the communication apparatus, activates the virtual machine template in the loaded boot image on the volatile memory, deactivates the activated virtual machine template after reconfiguring the activated virtual machine template to minimum required configuration to execute a virtual machine. Upon receipt of a request for addition of communication service, the control unit creates a replicate virtual machine template by replicating the deactivated virtual machine template, activates the replicate virtual machine template, reconfigures the activated replicate virtual machine template to configuration according to the request for addition of communication service, and executes the reconfigured replicate virtual machine template as a virtual machine to provide the communication service. | 05-08-2014 |
20140204734 | NODE DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR SWITCHING VIRTUAL SWITCH - When a failure occurs in a virtual machine (hereinafter called “VM”), degenerate operation not routed through the VM which is a failure target, and corresponding to a communication service on the VM is conducted to shorten a communication interrupt time. A communication path of a virtual switch in a multitenant environment where a virtual machine that operates a plurality of software provides a communication service for cloud computing such as a WAN high-speed technology is controlled. The control method, for example, comprises the steps of monitoring an operating status of the communication service of the virtual machine, and conducting a communication control by changing the communication path and a communication method of the virtual machine according to an application of the communication service if a failure occurs in the application of the communication service of one virtual machine. | 07-24-2014 |
20140222896 | DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING SYSTEM AND MANAGEMENT METHOD OF DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING SYSTEM - A distributed processing system comprising: a plurality of information processing apparatuses for performing information processing; client computers for requesting the information processing; and a management apparatus for managing the information processing apparatuses and the client computers, the client computer sends a request for information processing including a required round trip time (RTT) to the management apparatus, the management apparatus measures RTTa between the management apparatus and the information processing apparatuses and RTTb between the management apparatus and the client computer and requests information processing apparatuses with which absolute values of differences between the RTTa and the RTTb are equal to or less than a predetermined threshold to measure RTTc, the information processing apparatuses measure the RTTc to the client computer, and the management unit assigns the information processing to an information processing apparatus which the transmitted RTTc is equal to or shorter than the required RTT. | 08-07-2014 |
20150103658 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A control device determines whether communications that a base station accommodates are congested, based on obtained information, and identifies a terminal that is accommodated in the base station in which it is determined that the communications are congested, as a terminal of which communications a proxy device is to control. The proxy device controls communications between the base station and a server, by using a protocol that acknowledges that the data has reached a reception side, calculates a loss rate in communications by the identified terminal are to be discarded, by utilizing acknowledgement packets which are used by the protocol, and relays a communication of the identified terminal, by a transmission band which has been reduced by the calculated loss rate portion. | 04-16-2015 |
20150149813 | FAILURE RECOVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CREATING THE FAILURE RECOVERY SYSTEM - When detecting the configuration change or the operating state of a virtual machine of the main system, a VM management unit changes a value of a determination index of the virtual machine, and selects a virtual machine of the standby system/auxiliary system used for failure recovery of the virtual machine of the main system on the basis of a value of the determination index. A pattern generation unit provides the virtual machine of the standby system/auxiliary system selected by the VM management unit. | 05-28-2015 |
20150195104 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - Upon receipt of an intercepted first Ethernet Frame, a communication system converts the first Ethernet Frame into a second Ethernet Frame including a second identifier based on the first identifier and the conversion information, and sends the second Ethernet Frame toward a first input/output port identified by the second identifier. The system, in sending an Ethernet Frame on which communication service has been executed from the virtual machine, converts the Ethernet Frame on which the communication service has been executed into a third Ethernet Frame including a third identifier identifying a second input/output port of the virtual machine which has executed the communication service. The system converts the third Ethernet Frame into the first Ethernet Frame including the first identifier based on the third identifier and the conversion information and sends the first Ethernet Frame toward the destination of the first Ethernet Frame. | 07-09-2015 |
20150222515 | MANAGEMENT AND ORCHESTRATION SERVER - A management and orchestration server which manages a plurality of types of virtualized nodes included in server group includes a scaling executing unit configured to command the server group to scale virtual machines included in each of the plurality of types of virtualized nodes, a traffic load measuring unit configured to manage a traffic load of each of the virtual machines, and a scaling amount determining unit configured to determine a number of the virtual machines to be scaled. In this case, the traffic load measuring unit acquires a traffic load for each of the traffic types to be processed by each of the plurality of types of virtualized nodes, and the scaling amount determining unit determines the type of virtualized node for which virtual machines are to be scaled and a number of machines to be scaled based on the traffic loads of the traffic types. | 08-06-2015 |
20150222561 | BANDWIDTH CONTROL APPARATUS - A scale-out of a gateway server is realized according to a rapid increase in communication volume, without incurring system down. A high-quality communication is provided to priority users even during scaling out the gateway server. A high-quality communication is continuously provided to priority users without incurring the system down even if the scale-out/in of the gateway server is repeated. A bandwidth control apparatus transmits packets to plural virtual nodes equipped in a server device, reads the packets from any high priority queue and any low priority queue which are associated with the subject apparatus, and limits the packets to an upper limit bandwidth determined for each of the virtual nodes, and changes association of the high priority queues and the low priority queues with the virtual node bandwidth limiters according to an instruction from the control server for determining the scale-out/in of the virtual node. | 08-06-2015 |
