Abstract
Disclosed is an on-demand computing environment. The method embodiment relates to a method of managing resources between a local compute environment and an on-demand environment. The method comprises detecting an event in a local compute environment and based on the detected event, automatically establishing communication with an on-demand compute environment, provisioning resources within the on-demand compute environment and transferring workload from the local compute environment transparently to the on-demand compute environment.
Claims16
A method of managing resources between a local compute environment and an on-demand environment, the method comprising:
- detecting an event in a local compute environment;
- based on the detected event, automatically establishing communication with an on-demand compute environment;
- provisioning resources within the on-demand compute environment;
- and
- transferring workload from the local compute environment transparently to the on-demand compute environment.
A method of managing a relationship between a local compute environment and an on-demand compute environment, the method comprising:
- detecting a resource need event in a local compute environment;
- based on the detected resource need event, dynamically negotiating and establishing a grid/peer relationship;
- provisioning resources within the on-demand compute environment;
- and
- transferring workload from the local compute environment transparently to the on-demand compute environment.
A system for managing resources between a local compute environment and an on-demand environment, the system comprising:
- a module configured to detect an event in a local compute environment;
- a module configured to, based on the detected event, automatically establish communication with an on-demand compute environment;
- a module configured to provision resources within the on-demand compute environment;
- and
- a module configured to transfer workload from the local compute environment transparently to the on-demand compute environment.
16 A computer readable medium storing instruction for controlling a computing device to manage resources between a local compute environment and an on-demand environment, the instructions comprising:
- detecting an event in a local compute environment;
- based on the detected event, automatically establishing communication with an on-demand compute environment;
- provisioning resources within the on-demand compute environment;
- and
- transferring workload from the local compute environment transparently to the on-demand compute environment.
