Publication number: 20240106885Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that automatically scale an application between private and public cloud computing platforms, while simultaneous enforcing policies ensuring private data is persistently stored on the private cloud computing platform, but not the public cloud computing platform. A traffic manager on the public platform routes traffic to instances of a web app executing on a private platform. A traffic monitor on the private platform monitors performance criteria of the private platform, and reports traffic telemetry to the traffic manager. Based on the traffic telemetry, the traffic manager may instantiate one or more instances of the web app on the public platform to handle traffic. Private data gathered by such instantiated instance(s) is persisted to storage in the private platform, but not in the public platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Anjay Vijendra AJODHA, Heath LAWSON, David James ARMOUR, Scott Michael NAPOLITAN, Matthew Joel MCGLYNN, Shriram NATARAJAN, Ricardo Luiz Fagundes MENDES

Patent number: 9444896Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to reinitiating an application on a target computing cloud and to evaluating potential target cloud computing systems. In one scenario, a computing system receives an indication that identifies a target cloud for application migration. The target cloud computing system includes a specified set of hardware and/or environment specifications, associated configuration settings and an assigned rating that indicates how well the application will perform on the target cloud computing system. The computing system determines that the application is to be reconfigured for compatibility with the target cloud computing system and reconfigures some or all of the application to comply with the hardware and/or environment specifications and configuration settings of the target cloud computing system.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2012Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yuan Zheng, David James Armour, Stephen Jason Baron, Erik Stefan Nyström, John David Welch

Patent number: 7647325Abstract: A method for updating a catalog of hardware device and software object identifiers by identifying unknown identifiers and categorizing each of the unknown identifiers. The method further provides the categorized identifiers to a community of users for review and receives comments from the community of users on the provided categorization. The method further determines if the categorized identifiers should be recategorized based upon the received comments. Another method performs a search for an entity associated with an unknown identifier, determines a likely entity associated with the unknown identifier, and verifies the correctness of such determined likely entity. Another method generates a catalog of computer system components, receives information regarding the identity of a computer system component from at least two different sources, and determines the identity of the computer system component based upon the reputation of the sources of the received information.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2007Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ram P.

Publication number: 20080148253Abstract: Reconciling an installed software application with a software license. A discovery agent is deployed to each computing device at a user site, and each deployed discovery agent identifies information associated with access to the installed software application on the respective computing device. The identified information is aggregated to determine a present utilization of the installed software application on the computing devices at the user site. Usage rights associated with a software license for the software application is correlated with the present utilization of the software application. A resulting utilization is created as a function of the correlation and a report is provided indicating the resulting utilization.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2006Publication date: June 19, 2008Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Ashutosh Badwe, Ram P.
