Abstract: A method of deployment of virtual machines (VMs) including receiving traffic having characteristics from clients and based on the traffic, dynamically bringing up son VMs and when the traffic goes down, removing the son VMs. Sharing a cache between the son VMs by the VMs directly accessing the cache when receiving traffic from existing clients and performing encryption/decryption for new clients.

Abstract: A cloud includes an application delivery controller (ADC) receives traffic intended for a specific application, from a user, the specific application being executed by a virtual machine (VM). The ADC detects the received traffic as an attack traffic, the received traffic being intended for routing through software defined network (SDN) switches. The cloud further includes a controller that is in communication with the ADC and that launches virtual machines (VMs) based on the detected attack traffic. The controller re-configures the SDN switches from routing the received traffic to the VM that is executing the specific application to re-routing the received traffic, as the attack traffic, to one or more of the launched VMs.

Abstract: A multi-cloud fabric system includes an open flow switch responsive to a first and subsequent data packets and a services controller including a flow database. Further, the multi-cloud fabric system includes a SDN controller that communicates with the services controller through an open flow switch, wherein upon the receipt of the first data packet, the open flow switch directs the first packet to the services controller. The services controller creates a flow entry and makes authentication decisions based on authentication information. The open flow controller based on authentication policies, determines whether to allow or deny access to a corporate network based on saved authentication policies and if the open flow controller determines to deny access, the first packet being re-directed to an authentication server for access.
