Abstract
A system and method for transforming a legacy device into a virtualized environment, comprising includes analyzing the profiling data for at least one application to determine usage frequency and resource requirements of the at least one application. Captured user events are benchmarked to simulate a user workload for the at least one application to determine how resource utilization and execution times scale from a legacy environment to a virtualized environment. The legacy device is transformed into the virtualized environment in accordance with a provisioning plan.
Claims20
A method for transforming a legacy device into a virtualized environment, comprising:
- analyzing, using a processor, profiling data for at least one application to determine resource requirements of the at least one application;
- benchmarking captured user action events to determine how resource utilization scales from a legacy environment to a virtualized environment;
- and
- transforming the legacy device into the virtualized environment in accordance with a provisioning plan.
A computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program for transforming a legacy device into a virtualized environment, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
- analyzing, using a processor, profiling data for at least one application to determine resource requirements of the at least one application;
- benchmarking captured user action events to determine how resource utilization scales from a legacy environment to a virtualized environment;
- and
- transforming the legacy device into the virtualized environment in accordance with a provisioning plan.
A system for planning and transforming legacy devices into a virtualized environment, comprising a computer readable storage medium, further comprising:
- a user profiling module configured to analyze profiling data for at least one application to determine resource requirements of the at least one application;
- a benchmarking module configured to capture user action events to determine how resource utilization scales from a legacy environment to a virtualized environment;
- and
- a transformation executor configured to execute a provisioning plan to provide services for a legacy device within the virtualized environment.
