Abstract: Virtual application and desktop delivery may be optimized by supplying application metadata and user intent to the device between a client and a server hosting resources for the delivery. The data packets used to deliver the virtual application or desktop may be also tagged with references to the application. By supplying the metadata and tagging packets with the metadata, an intermediary network device may provide streams of data packets at the target QoS. In addition, the device may apply network resource allocation rules (e.g., firewalls and QoS configuration) for redirected content retrieved by the client out of band relative to a virtual channel such as the Internet. The network resource allocation rules may differ for different types of resources accessed. The device may also control a delivery agent on the server to modify communication sessions established through the virtual channels based on network conditions.

Abstract: A server includes a network interface to interface with mobile computing devices operating within a geographical area, with at least one of the mobile computing devices providing a request for navigation instructions between two geo-locations based on prompting the user to select an optimized connectivity route prompt. A processor is coupled to the network interface and is configured to generate a network connectivity map based on varying cellular network connectivity metrics for the geographical area, and generate, based on the user-selected optimized connectivity route prompt, the navigation instructions between the two geo-locations to be provided to the at least one mobile communications device via said network interface. The navigation instructions are generated based on the network connectivity map to provide a single route that is optimized to include areas with strong cellular network connectivity metric values.

Abstract: A method for updating cloud resource tags is provided. The tag associated with a cloud resource may assign the cloud resource to one or more categories to enable tracking of the cloud resource. The method may include determining, based on a synchronization profile, the scope of the update. For example, the scope of the update may encompass individual resources, groups of resources, and/or subscriptions. A metadata data store may be queried to retrieve mapping rules corresponding to tags of resources from one or more cloud service providers that are within the scope of the update. If the value of a tag does not match the value specified by the corresponding mapping rule, the value of the tag may be updated to match the value specified by the mapping rule. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
