Providing cloud-based computing services

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a network controller for managing several managed switching elements that forward data in a network that includes the managed switches elements, and the network controller is further used for creating a logical switching element to be implemented in a set of managed switches.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a non-transitory machine readable medium of a controller of a network control system for configuring a wide area network (WAN) optimizer instance to implement a WAN optimizer for a logical network.

TL;DR: An elastic scaling cloud-hosted batch application system and method that performs automated elastic scaling of the number of compute instances used to process batch applications in a cloud computing environment is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a controller for managing several managed switching elements that forward data in a network that includes the managed switches elements is described, which includes a set of modules for detecting a change in one or more managed switches and for updating logical datapath set based on the detected change.

TL;DR: DECnet/OSI Phase V incorporates a new network management architecture based on Digital's Enterprise Management Architecture (EMA) that transparently assimilates new devices and technologies and is designed to be an open architecture.

Abstract: System, method, and tangible computer-readable storage media are disclosed for providing a brokering service for compute resources The method includes, at a brokering service, polling a group of separately administered compute environments to identify resource capabilities and information, each compute resource environment including the group of managed nodes for processing workload, receiving a request for compute resources at the brokering service system, the request for compute resources being associated with a service level agreement (SLA) and based on the resource capabilities across the group of compute resource environments, selecting compute resources in one or more of the group of compute resource environments The brokering service system receives workload associated with the request and communicates the workload to the selected resources for processing The brokering services system can aggregate resources for multiple cloud service providers and act as an advocate for or a guarantor of the SLA associated with the workload

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a system that provides a cloud-computing service from a cloud computing environment comprising a plurality of cloud computing resources, including a management module, an adapter, and a consumption module.

TL;DR: In this article, a management tool that streamlines the server allocation and provisioning processes within a data center is provided, which divides the server provisioning and allocation into two separate tasks.
