Abstract: An example method comprises determining, by an edge services controller, based on a respective predicted resource utilization value for each of a plurality of servers, a corresponding server weight for each of the plurality of servers; the plurality of servers comprising respective network interface cards (NICs), wherein each NIC of the plurality of NICs comprises an embedded switch and a processing unit coupled to the embedded switch; determining, by the edge services controller, based on a respective predicted resource utilization value for each of a plurality of services, a corresponding application weight for each of the plurality of services; and scheduling, by the edge services controller, based on the respective server weight for a server of the plurality of servers and the respective application weight for the service, a service of the plurality of services on the server.

Abstract: Systems and methods for cloud security monitoring and threat intelligence in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a process for monitoring and remediation of security threats includes generating a threat model using a first portion of activity data, identifying, based upon the threat model, a threat using a second portion of activity data, selecting a security policy to implement in response to the identified threat, identifying cloud security controls in a remotely hosted cloud application server system to modify in accordance with the selected security policy, establishing a secure connection to the remotely hosted cloud application server system using login credentials associated with a tenant account with the cloud application, and sending instructions to the remotely hosted cloud application server system to set the identified cloud security controls with respect to the tenant account in accordance with the selected security policy.

Abstract: A computer implemented platform for retirement planning includes a retirement accumulations module for causing to be stored a plurality of portable retirement accounts, each of which is owned by a different individual investor, for accumulating contributions from employers, sponsors and/or individual investors to each of the portable retirement savings accounts based on a respective retirement plan, and a retirement income generation module for causing to be paid to one or more of the individual investors available income payments based on the portable retirement accounts of the individual investors.

Abstract: An equipment maintenance system includes a communication unit configured to obtain usage data indicative of usage of equipment and a maintenance frequency requirement for the equipment. The maintenance frequency requirement for the equipment dictates a lower limit on a frequency at which the equipment is to be one or more of repaired or inspected. The system also includes one or more processors configured to determine a maintenance schedule for one or more of repairing or inspecting the equipment based on the usage data and the maintenance frequency requirement. The one or more processors are configured to determine the maintenance schedule such that the maintenance schedule dictates the one or more of repairing or inspecting the equipment at least as often as the maintenance frequency requirement.

Abstract: A computer-implemented word processing presentation method is disclosed. The method includes obtaining an unformatted data structure containing a series of characters representing content for a word processing document, accessing a series of first records in a file associated with the unformatted data structure, wherein each first record contains data correlating a location of one or more characters in the unformatted data structure to a location for the one or more characters in the word processing document, and generating a display of the word processing document by applying the correlating data from the series of records to the series of characters in the unformatted data structure.
