Migration method for software application in a multi-computing architecture, method for carrying out functional continuity implementing said migration method and multi-computing system provided therewith
First Claim
1. A method for carrying out a connection migration in a multi-computer architecture (cluster), from a first node, called primary node, comprising a first computer in said cluster whereon an initial software application is executed, towards at least one secondary node, comprising another computer in said cluster, characterised in that it implements a virtual network address which is carried by the first computer and which is transferred to the other computer, said virtual network address being provided as a dialogue link between the cluster and clients computers connected to said cluster and affected by the software application.

Abstract
A method for carrying out a connection migration in a multicomputing architecture (cluster), from a first node which is called a primary node or operation node, including a first computer of the cluster on which an initial software application is run, towards at lest one secondary node including another computer of the cluster. The method implements a virtual network address which is carried by the first computer and transferred to the other computer, the virtual network address being embodied in the form of a dialogue link between the cluster and client computers connected thereto and associated with the software application. The associated connections can, for example be associated with a software application which is replicated in another computer in such a way that the initial application service is switched to the replica thereof.
