STORAGE AND APPLICATION CONTROLLER FOR MIRRORING AND SWITCHOVER OF APPLICATIONS IN A PLURALITY OF CLOUD LOCATIONS VIA A PLURALITY OF CONFIGURABLE SECURITY PROTOCOLS

摘要

A storage and application controller that is coupled to a plurality of storage and application execution clouds is maintained. The storage and application controller transmits, via a first communications protocol, an application to a first storage and application execution cloud. The storage and application controller transmits, via a second communications protocol, a copy of the application to a second storage and application execution cloud. In response to a compromise of the first communications protocol, execution of the application is stopped and replaced via execution of the copy of the application.
