Embodiment Construction

[0029] in figure 1 In, an embodiment of an inventive virtualized device and network is shown. The network 1 includes a virtualization device 10, a first computer network 20 and a second computer network 30. The first computer network 20 is a source computer network, and the second computer network 30 is a destination computer network.

[0030] The first computer network 20 includes a plurality of devices 21-27. The equipment 21-27 includes a router 21, a firewall 22, a plurality of workstations 23-25, a server 26, and a switch 27. The second computer network 30 also includes a plurality of devices 31-37. The devices 31-37 include a router 31, a firewall 32, a plurality of workstations 33-35, a server 36, and a switch 37. In the embodiment depicted here, the first computer network 20 and the second computer network 30 include the same number and type of devices. But this is not restrictive. The first computer network 20 and the second computer network 30 may also include diff...

Abstract

A virtualization device (10) serves the purpose of virtualizing a first computer (20) network comprising at least one device (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27). The virtualization device (10) comprises a network prober (40) and a cloud configurator (90). The network prober (40) comprises a probing unit adapted for accessing the at least one device (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) of the first computer network (20) and copying configurations of the at least one device (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) and the data of the at least one device (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) of the first computer network (20). The network prober (40) further comprises a modeling unit adapted for creating a virtual representation of the first computer network (20) from the copied configurations and uploading the virtual representation of the first computer network (20) and the copied data to a second computer network (30). The second computer network (30) is a cloud network. The cloud configurator (90) furthermore comprises a configuring unit adapted for configuring the second computer network (30) based upon the virtual representation of the first computer network (20) and the copied data. The cloud configurator (90) further comprises an initialization unit adapted for initializing the second computer network (30).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a virtualization device and method for virtualizing a first computer network to a second computer network. [0002] The present invention particularly relates to a virtualization device and method for virtualizing a device of a source network to a destination network in the cloud. Background technique [0003] Traditional cooperative networks use many individual network components, such as routers, switches, firewalls, etc., and can include many computers, such as workstations or servers. Each of these network devices can save configuration information and data. In recent years, the trend to at least partially virtualize traditional collaboration networks to cloud-based solutions is obvious. However, so far, virtualizing the entire collaborative network requires a lot of effort, because each individual device must be accessed through system management and manually virtualized. [0004] For example, US patent US 7,849,192 B2 s...
