METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR MANAGING REMOTE DEPLOYMENT OF VIRTUAL MACHINE IN NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a system and a computer program for managing remote deployment of a virtual machine (VM) in a network environment.;SOLUTION: A VM image stored in a second storage medium is copied to a first storage medium. The first storage medium is located in close proximity to a first computing system, and the second storage medium is located remotely from the first computing system and in close proximity to a second computing system. As the VM image is being copied, a first VM is deployed on the first computing system from a partial copy of the VM image stored in the first storage medium, and a second VM is deployed on the second computing system from the VM image stored in the second storage medium. Service requests submitted to the first computing system are managed either locally by the first VM or remotely by the second VM based on the type of service requested.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
