Abstract

See full text

A method for automated policy-based localization of one or more virtual servers within a distributed network comprising a plurality of data centers includes the steps of: (i) receiving a policy, the policy defining at least one rule regarding localization of a virtual server within the network; (ii) storing the defined policy in a policy database; (iii) calculating, using a policy engine and the defined policy, a current policy score for a virtual server within the distributed network; (iv) optimizing, using a re-deployment engine and the defined policy, the calculated policy score for the virtual server by relocating the virtual server to a new data center within the distributed network; and (v) creating an alert, if the defined policy is violated by relocating the virtual server.
