Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012048014A2] Systems and methods are disclosed herein to automatically select remote cloud sites to replicate new virtual machine image (VM) files. Secondary VM computing devices are automatically selected for placing a new VM image file by reviewing the operating parameters (e.g., cost of operation, power consumption, etc.) of a number of secondary VM computing devices available of storing VM image replicas in comparison with a pre-defined set of limiting parameters from a computer-coded business rule. Alternatively, the secondary VM computing devices are selected by matching operating parameter values of existing secondary VM image files to the new VM image file identify similar operating parameter values. A replica of the new primary VM image is stored in the secondary VM computing devices, where the primary and secondary VM images are in geographically disparate cloud locations.
