Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for linking remote file storage. An example method includes identifying, by discovery agent circuitry, a set of files for storage from a set of candidate files, and classifying, by file metadata circuitry, each file from the set of files for storage into file usage categories. The example method also includes assigning, by file metadata circuitry, permission categories to each file from the set of files for storage based on the file usage categories, and providing, by communications hardware, the set of files for storage and associated metadata to a file storage host, wherein the associated metadata comprises the file usage categories and the permission categories The example method also includes updating, by the discovery agent circuitry, content stored on the file storage host, the content comprising the set of files for storage.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for optimizing cloud deployment of an application. An example method includes receiving, by communications hardware, a cloud deployment request and identifying, by an application analysis engine, a set of application configuration parameters for an application. The example method further includes selecting, by a cloud platform selection engine and based on the set of application configuration parameters for the application, an optimal cloud platform from a plurality of candidate cloud platforms and deploying, by a cloud deployment, the application on the optimal cloud platform.
