Patented IBM Invention Dynamically Allocates Virtual Cloud Resources
The technique uses analytics to optimize cloud computing performance and cost savings.
IBM inventors have patented a technique that uses analytics to increase cloud computing performance and reduce costs by dynamically moving workloads — between or within cloud centers — based on an automatic analysis that determines the most efficient and effective use of available resources.
IBM's patented invention automatically pools cloud computing resources from disparate cloud centers, enabling clients to improve performance and save money by reducing the amount of manual intervention needed to allocate hardware, software and services. The automated technique enables users have more control over where and how their cloud workloads are run and facilitates optimal use of a cloud infrastructure.
