DETERMINING AT LEAST ONE COST FACTOR ASSOCIATED WITH USING THE CLOUD TO PROVIDE AN APPLICATION COMPONENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- using a network sniffer to acquire at least one measure lent of network activity associated with an application component, the application component being a candidate to be migrated to a cloud; and
based at least in part on the at least one measurement, determining at least one cost factor associated with the application component being provided by the cloud.

Abstract
A technique includes using a network sniffer to acquire at least one measurement of network activity associated with an application component, where the application component is a candidate to be migrated to a cloud. The technique further includes, based at least in part on the measurement(s), determining at least one cost factor associated with the application component being provided by the cloud.

9. A system comprising:
-
a first processing entity to execute an application component, the application component being a candidate to be migrated to a cloud; a network sniffer comprising a processor to operate independently of the first processing entity, the network sniffer to acquire at least one measurement of network activity associated with the application component; and a cost factor generator to determine at least one cost factor associated with the application component being provided by the cloud based at least in part on the at least one measurement. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. An article comprising a non-transitory storage medium to store instructions that when executed by a processor-based system cause the processor-based system to:
-
receive data representing at least one measurement acquired by a network sniffer indicative of network activity associated with an application component, the application component being a candidate to be migrated to a cloud; and determine at least one cost factor associated with the application component being provided by the cloud based at least in part on the at least one measurement. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
