Abstract: VDI sessions and virtualized devices can be prioritized in Software-Defined Networks. A server-side agent can communicate with a management server to provide VDI session details indicative of how the VDI session is being employed. The management server can then update a flow table in a Software-Defined Network based on the VDI session details. In this way, the network traffic pertaining to a VDI session can be prioritized based on how the VDI session is being used. A flow table can also be updated in conjunction with commencing or completing an imaging process.

Abstract: A system, program and method are provided for monitoring and detecting changes for infrastructure orchestration templates. A computer provisions a stack using an existing template. The computer detects a change in the stack, wherein the detecting includes comparing at least one configuration element of the stack to at least one definition stored within a repository of a system. The computer determines whether the change is relevant to the existing template. In response to the change being relevant, the computer determines a type of change in the stack. The computer performs either updating a relevant section of the existing template or creating a new template by adding a new portion, which defines a new configuration element according to the type of change in the stack.

Abstract: An Internet infrastructure delivery platform (e.g., operated by a service provider) provides an overlay network (a server infrastructure) that is used to facilitate “second screen” end user media experiences. In this approach, first media content, which is typically either live on-demand, is being rendered on a first content device (e.g., a television, Blu-Ray disk or other source). That first media content may be delivered by servers in the overlay network. One or multiple end user second content devices are then adapted to be associated with the first content source, preferably, via the overlay network, to facilitate second screen end user experiences (on the second content devices).

Abstract: Described herein is a technology which facilitates an effective and efficient management of a data center. In one implementation, the data center includes a container cloud manager which embeds container framework, such as Docker framework to manage App images and containers of the data center. An App image is packed back to a container which starts when the App image is requested. The use of container is lightweight and starts fast, avoiding the need for installation of the App. Furthermore, the data center is a distributed management system, which includes multiple copies of an App image as well as multiple copies of the cloud container manager. This ensures continuous operation of the data center.

Abstract: To manage complexity related to messages and comments about collaboratively edited electronic documents, an electronic document has associated activity data and comment data, where a type of activity data includes messages among users. Message data is stored in a stream of activity data in a format that is accessible both to communication applications outside of the electronic document, and to end user applications for editing the electronic document. The message data can include a document identifier, a user identifier for a sender and/or a receiver, and content of the message. A communication application, given a user identifier, can access document messages for that user, from a single electronic document or over multiple electronic documents. Further, the communication application can be notified when new document messages related to a user identifier are added to one or more electronic documents.
