Abstract
A system and method for securely and automatically moving a resource, such as a server, between secure network environments include a secure auto-migration control program. The secure auto-migration program may automatically reconfigure a computing resource used in a first secure network environment to be used in a second secure network environment and logically move the computer resource from the first secure network environment to the second secure network environment.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- automatically reconfiguring a shared programmable resource used in a first secure network environment, to be used in a second secure network environment, with a secure auto-migration control program executed by a hardware processor;
- confirming the shared programmable resource is inactive prior to reconfiguring the shared programmable resource to the second secure network environment;
- and
- automatically and logically moving the shared programmable resource from the first secure network environment to the second secure network environment with the secure auto-migration control program executed by the processor;
- wherein said moving includes:
- automatically removing sensitive data from the shared programmable resource;
- and modifying a parameter in a network switch.

A system comprising:
- a hardware processor to execute a secure auto-migration control program to automatically reconfigure a shared programmable resource, used in a first secure network environment, to be used in a second secure network environment, and to automatically and logically move the shared programmable resource from the first secure network environment to the second secure network environment, wherein to logically move the shared programmable resource,
- wherein the secure auto-migration control program confirms the shared programmable resource is inactive prior to reconfiguring the shared programmable resource to the second secure network environment, automatically removes sensitive data from the shared programmable resource and modifies a parameter in a network switch.
A method comprising:
- creating a first secure network environment with a first plurality of shared resources and a second secure network environment with a second plurality of shared resources;
- determining that the second plurality of shared resources is insufficient;
- automatically reconfiguring a shared programmable resource, used in a first secure network environment, to be used in a second secure network environment, with a secure auto-migration control program executed by a hardware processor;
- confirming the shared programmable resource is inactive prior to reconfiguring the shared programmable resource to the second secure network environment;
- and
- automatically and logically moving the shared resource from the first secure network environment to the second secure network environment with the secure auto-migration control program executed by the processor;
- wherein said moving includes:
- automatically removing sensitive data from the shared programmable resource;
- and modifying a parameter in a network switch.
