  • Using multidimensional metadata tag sets to determine resource allocation in a distributed computing environment
    Patent number: 11216309
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving a resource request for at least one compute and/or storage resource from a distributed computing system distributed among multiple data centers, determining a resource policy that is associated with the resource request, wherein the resource policy includes a rule specifying at least one metadata tag and at least one criterion associated with the at least one metadata tag, identifying at least one object included in a resource object model that complies with the rule of the resource policy, wherein the at least one object has an assigned value for the metadata tag that satisfies the at least one criterion, selecting a data center that is associated with the at least one object identified from the resource object model, and deploying, on the selected data center, the at least one compute or storage resource.

  • Apparatus and method for generating reports from versioned data
    Patent number: 8438140
    Abstract: A computer-readable medium includes a report generator configured to process a current version of a data set to generate a report including a data item. The computer-readable medium also includes a report data change tracker configured to identify a change in the data item with respect to a previous version of the data set. The computer-readable medium further includes a report data change presenter configured to superimpose an indication of the change onto the report.
