20090199116 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENTLY BOOTING AND CONFIGURING VIRTUAL SERVERS - Techniques for providing faster and more efficient ways to deploy virtual server configurations in a hosted virtual server service are described. Broadly, a base machine image is created with essential or standard virtual server functionality, and a configuration manager, which allows the virtual server to be customized after instantiation. This post-instantiation customization, which can include network or system parameters, software upgrades or modifications, role specification, specification of locations of other virtual servers, software installation, and loading of application data, allows virtual servers to be customized without the need for separate machine images for each virtual server instance. | 08-06-2009 |
20090241030 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENTLY MANAGING AND CONFIGURING VIRTUAL SERVERS - The present invention is related to providing faster and more efficient ways to deploy and manage virtual server configurations in a hosted virtual server service. Broadly, a web interface allows a user to set conditions upon which specific types of virtual servers will be instantiated or terminated on a third-party hosted virtual server service. For example, the user may wish to instantiate a new virtual server each time the load on existing virtual servers exceeds a predetermined threshold. The web interface may also allow a user to select from among a plurality of hosted virtual server services. The web interface may further allow a user to incorporate dynamic variables into configurations of instantiated virtual servers. | 09-24-2009 |
20100146124 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF DATA SET REPRESENTATIONS IN A BANDWIDTH-ADAPTIVE MANNER - A bandwidth-adaptive method for synchronizing a consumer node representation of a dynamic data set and the source node representation of the dynamic data includes the step of receiving, from a source node, metadata information identifying a plurality of data packets that represent a state of at least a portion of a changing data set at a point in time. At least one of the identified data packets is received from the source node and at least one of the received data packets is selected responsive to the received meta-data information. The metadata information and the selected at least one data packet are transmitted to a consumer node. | 06-10-2010 |
20120179811 | METHODS FOR PROVIDING PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS - In a method of providing a performance improvement recommendation for a connection between a first network node in communication with a second network node, information is transmitted from the first node to the second node to provide communication between the nodes, via a number of transmission components. An elapsed time of transmission of the information between a subset of the transmission components is measured, the aggregation of the measurements representing time elapsed for end-to-end transmission of the information that includes preparing, by the first node, the information for transmission and processing, by the second node, the information upon receipt. A determination is made that one of the measured transmission components has a performance that crosses a predetermined threshold. A recommendation is identified to improve the performance of the identified component. | 07-12-2012 |

20140082699 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSOCIATING A VIRTUAL MACHINE WITH AN ACCESS CONTROL RIGHT - The present invention is related to associating a machine or virtual machine instance with an access control right in a cloud-based computing environment. In one aspect, the present invention relates to an apparatus for or a method of associating a machine or virtual machine instance with an access control right in a cloud-based computing environment. In various embodiments, the apparatus is capable of, and the method includes, the following: receiving, in a cloud-based computing environment, a request to perform an action; using an identifier for the machine or virtual machine instance to determine that the received request was sent by, or on behalf of, the machine or virtual machine instance; and identifying an access control right associated with the machine or virtual machine instance making the request, to determine whether to perform the action on behalf of, or grant access by, the machine or virtual machine instance. | 03-20-2014 |
20140317701 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING CLOUD-BASED INSTANCES WITH INDEPENDENT PERMISSIONS - A method and system for facilitating management of cloud-based service instances, the system comprising one or more computing systems configured to communicate with at least one multi-tenant computing cloud, and configured to establish a cloud-based service instance hosted in the multi-tenant computing cloud and an access entity with permissions to access the established cloud service instance. The system can receive a request for the cloud-based service instance, the request authenticated as originating from a requestor; consult a set of access controls associated with the cloud-based service instance; determine, responsive to the consulting, if the request is allowable by the requestor; and enable, responsive to determining that the request is allowable by the requestor, the requestor to complete the request using a restricted access credential associated with the access entity. | 10-23-2014 |
