Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus to migrate virtual machines between distributive computing networks across a network are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes establishing a data link across a network between a first distributive computing network and a second distributive computing network, the first distributive computing network including a virtual machine operated by a first host communicatively coupled to a virtual private network via a first virtual local area network, communicatively coupling a second host included within the second distributive computing network to the virtual private network via a second virtual local area network, and migrating the virtual machine via the data link by transmitting a memory state of at least one application on the first host to the second host while the at least one application is operating.
