Abstract: A cloud broker gateway interfaces with an enterprise network and one or more public cloud networks, including a first public cloud and a second public cloud. The cloud broker gateway receives a request for one or more computing resources from a tenant associated with the enterprise network, and directs the request to the first public cloud based on a brokerage policy for the tenant. The cloud broker gateway receives a response indicating the first public cloud cannot provide the one or more computing resources, and redirects the request to the second public cloud based on the brokerage policy for the tenant. The cloud broker gateway also establishes a hybrid cloud that provides access to the one or more computing resources between the second public cloud and the enterprise network.

Abstract: A shared file system may be updated by a non-native operating system writing information to a change file, while a native operating system is in a suspend or hibernation mode; after writing, the non-native operating system is placed in a suspend or hibernation mode and the native system activates and then retrieves the updated information from the change file and writes the updated information to a shared file system. The native operating system returns to a suspend or hibernate state before the non-native operating resumes operation. The updated information may be written as provided by the non-native operating system, or further updated by the native operating system before being written to the shared file system. The change file is created by the native operating system, and may be a reserved portion of the shared file system or may be a separate portion of non-volatile memory.
