Abstract:
A system and method for method for asynchronous replication of a storage in a computing environment (CE) are provided. The method includes connecting to a primary storage; receiving a content and an address respective of the content; storing, in a designated storage, the content and the address respective of the content; and sending, from the designated storage, the content and the address respective of the content to a secondary storage, wherein the secondary storage is in a secondary CE.
Abstract:
A system and method for replicating block storage to an object storage, the method including: receiving write instructions from an original component (OC) in a first network, wherein the write instructions include a data block; mapping the write instructions to at least one object in the object storage; and storing the data block of the write instructions in the mapped at least one object in a second network.
Abstract:
A method and system for synchronizing an order of access instructions from a primary computing environment to a replicated computing environment. The method comprises detecting at least one access instruction to at least a disk of a primary machine in the primary computing environment; updating a state of a first logical clock structure (LCS) maintained by the primary machine, wherein the first LCS includes a plurality of elements, wherein each of the plurality elements is associated with a distinct primary machine in a primary computing environment, wherein each element in the first LCS is updated based on the at least one detected access instruction; and sending the access instruction and a current state of the first LCS to a corresponding replicated machine in a replicated computing environment, thereby allowing the corresponding replicated machine to determine the causal order of access instructions based in part on the first LCS.
Abstract:
A system and method for disk replication over a network with network failover, the method including: generating at least one write packet when a write instruction is detected from a first computing environment, where the at least one write packet includes: metadata associated with a data block, and a packet identifier; storing the at least one write packet in a cache; sending the at least one write packet from the cache to a second computing environment for storage; and determining if the at least one write packet has been successfully stored in the second computing environment.
Abstract:
A system and method for deploying a cloud-agnostic appliance. The method includes generating an image file of a virtual appliance, wherein the image file includes a primary operating system (OS), a boot OS, and an application; deploying the image file in a cloud based computing environment (CBCE); sending the boot OS configuration instructions for configuring the virtual appliance to operate in the CBCE; and configuring the virtual appliance to reboot from the primary OS.
Abstract:
A system and method for identifying corresponding disks. The method includes determining identifying information of a primary disk, wherein the primary disk is a logical disk; causing the primary disk to be enlarged to create a first additional disk space; causing primary metadata to be written to the first additional disk space, wherein the primary metadata includes the identifying information of the primary disk; determining a corresponding replicated disk that corresponds to the primary disk by comparing the primary metadata to replicated metadata associated with the replicated disk, wherein the replicated disk is a logical disk; and matching the corresponding replicated disk with the primary disk.
Abstract:
A method and system for restoring an original component from a replicated component are provided. The method includes instructing the original component in a first computing environment to boot from a restoration boot disk; synchronizing at least one original disk of the original component with at least one corresponding replicated disk of a replicated component in a second computing environment, wherein the at least one original disk maintains at least an original operating system of the original component, wherein the replicated component is configured to function in place of the original component; receiving a request to restore the original component; and instructing the original component to boot from the at least one original disk, upon determination the at least one original disk and the at least one corresponding replicated disk are consistent.
Abstract:
A system and method for name resolution of replicated components in computing environments (CEs). The method includes inserting, an alternate name-resolving server (NRS) as a first queried entry in a list of NRSs into a memory of a first replicated component, wherein the alternative NRS is communicatively connected to a second CE, the second CE comprising the first replicated component and the second replicated component, wherein the second replicated component is replicated from the first CE and includes a first original component.
