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 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 method and system for providing failovers for a primary cloud-based computing environment (CBCE) residing in a first cloud environment. The method includes gathering information with respect to the primary CBCE; storing the gathered information in a storage space; updating the stored information based on at least one change with respect to the primary CBCE; determining, based on at least one status received from the primary CBCE, whether a failover is required for the primary CBCE; and initiating a reconstruction of the primary CBCE in a second cloud environment, when it is determined that a failover is required for the primary CBCE, wherein the reconstruction of the CBCE is based on the stored information.
Abstract:
A method and system for securing continued operation of a primary cloud-based computing environment (CBCE) residing in a first cloud environment are disclosed. The system comprises gathering information respective of the primary CBCE; storing the gathered information in a storage space, wherein the gathered information substantially provides a baseline to initiate the creation of a reconstructed CBCE upon a need to recreate the primary CBCE; updating the gathered information with new information gathered respective of changes to the primary CBCE; receiving a periodic status notification from the primary CBCE; and initiating a reconstruction of the primary CBCE in the second cloud environment responsive to the status notification requesting one of: a reconstruction request and failure of the primary CBCE.
