Abstract: A system is provided to manage operation of workloads over a workload placement network comprising: a user interface to receive workload placement specifications that indicate locations; a data storage device storing cluster location information; a workload placement manager to determine placement of workloads at clusters based at least in part upon cluster locations and cluster resource utilization; wherein the clusters include metrics collector instances to collect information indicating cluster resource utilization and to send the collected information over the workload placement network to the placement the orchestration manager.

Abstract: A system is provided to deliver an application, hosted by a private application provider system, over a network to a user device, comprising: an application delivery system that includes a first network interface, a network security interface and a second network interface; wherein the network security interface is configured to determine whether a user or device request for access to an application is valid, and in response to determining that the user or device request for access to the first application is valid, to send the user or device request to the application agent.
