Policy-Based Checkpointing Fault Tolerance Across Remote Virtual Machines

摘要

Embodiments include a checkpointing fault tolerance network architecture enables a first computer system to be remotely located from a second computer system. An intermediary computer system is situated between the first computer system and the second computer system to manage the transmission of checkpoint information from the first computer system to the second computer system in an efficient manner. The intermediary computer system responds to requests from the second computer system for updated data corresponding to memory pages selected by the second computer system, or memory pages identified through application of policy information defined by the second computer system.
