Abstract
A method and apparatus for a dynamic service topology. One service is assigned to a virtual machine. The virtual machine is assigned to a physical machine on a network. The service of the virtual machine is transferable from the physical machine to another physical machine on the network by moving the virtual machine.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- assigning one service to a virtual machine;
- assigning the virtual machine to a physical machine on a network;
- and
- transferring the one service from the physical machine to another physical machine on the network by moving the virtual machine associated with the service from the physical machine to the other physical machine on the network.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a physical machine comprising one or more virtual machines;
- and
- an operating system on the physical machine configured to operate the one or more virtual machines,
- wherein each virtual machine is associated with one service, each service configured to be transferable from a first physical machine to a second physical machine on the network by moving the virtual machine associated with the service from the first physical machine to the second physical machine on the network.
1 more element
An article of manufacture comprising:
- a machine-accessible storage medium including data that, when accessed by a machine, cause the machine to perform a method comprising:
- assigning one service to a virtual machine;
- assigning the virtual machine to a physical machine on a network;
- and
- transferring the one service from the physical machine to another physical machine on the network by moving the virtual machine associated with the service from the physical machine to the other physical machine on the network.
2 more elements
A networked computing system comprising:
- a first physical machine comprising a virtual machine;
- and
- a second physical machine coupled to the first physical machine via a network,
- wherein the virtual machine is assigned one service, the service configured to be transferable from the first physical machine to the second physical machine on the network by moving the virtual machine associated with the service from the first physical machine to the second physical machine on the network.
