Abstract
Cloud-based virtual machines and offices are provided herein. Methods may include establishing a cloud-based virtual office, by providing selections, corresponding to backups of servers of a computing network, to a user interface, establishing a cloud gateway for the virtual office, virtualizing a backup for each server using a virtualization program to create the cloud-based virtual office that includes virtual server machines networked with one another via the cloud gateway, and providing a workload to the cloud-based virtual office.
Claims22
A method for managing a cloud-based virtual machine, comprising:
- receiving a selection of at least one of one or more backups of a computing device;
- virtualizing the at least one of the one or more backups using a virtualization program to create a cloud-based virtual office having configuration details;
- dedicating computing resources to a cloud-based virtual office that corresponds to the computing device;
- establishing dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) settings for the cloud-based virtual office by receiving one or more domain names and one or more DNS server Internet protocol address associated with the domain names via a DHCP user interface;
- applying the DHCP settings to the cloud-based virtual office;
- and
- providing access to the cloud-based virtual office to a remote user.
A method for establishing a cloud-based virtual office, the method comprising:
- providing selections, corresponding to backups of devices of a computing network, to a user interface;
- establishing a cloud gateway for the cloud-based virtual office;
- virtualizing a backup for each selected device of the devices using a virtualization program to create the cloud-based virtual office that includes virtual server machines networked with one another via the cloud gateway;
- and
- providing a workload to the cloud-based virtual office.
A system providing a cloud-based virtual office executing within a computing environment, the cloud-based virtual office comprising virtual server machines that correspond to servers of a physical network, each virtual server machine being virtualized by a virtualization program from a backup of a primary server, the backup of the primary server being stored within memory of the computing environment, the virtualization program being executed by a processor of the computing environment, the processor further establishing a cloud gateway that networks the virtual server machines together.
