Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to a system and method for translating between virtual machines. A network adaptor can be configured to be communicatively coupled to a server, the server comprising a first virtual machine having a first format, the network adaptor to receive input from the server. A translator can be configured to identify, from the input from the server, the first format of the first virtual machine and generate an output, compatible with a second format of a second virtual machine, based on the input from the server, the second format being incompatible with the first format.
Claims30
A system for translating between virtual machines, comprising:
- a network adaptor communicatively coupled to a server, the server comprising a first virtual machine having a first format, the network adaptor to receive input from the server;
- a translator including a processor unit, the processor unit communicatively coupled to the network adapter, configured to:
- identify, from the input from the server, the first format of the first virtual machine;
- and
- generate an output, compatible with a second format of a second virtual machine, based on the input from the server, the second format being incompatible with the first format;
- wherein the system is configured to store at least some of the output in a memory module.
At least one computer readable storage medium, the computer readable storage medium communicatively coupled to a processor and comprising instructions which, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to:
- identify, from an input from a server, the input in a first format of a first virtual machine;
- generate an output, compatible with a second format of a second virtual machine, based on the input, the second format being incompatible with the first format;
- and
- storing, in a memory module, at least some of the output.
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- identifying, from an input from a server, the input in a first format of a first virtual machine;
- generating an output, compatible with a second format of a second virtual machine, based on the input, the second format being incompatible with the first format;
- and
- storing, in a memory module, at least some of the output.
