  • Publication number: 20150222522
    Abstract: There are provided a system, a method and a computer program product for routing a data packet. A first router includes a routing table having address routes for routing packets of a first network communication protocol and address routes for routing packets of a second network communication protocol. A source router, adjacent to the first router, stores first network communication protocol addresses of routers adjacent to the first router. The system creates a network communication path from the source router to one or more adjacent routers for only routing the data packets according to a corresponding first network communication protocol address route. The system updates the routing table of the first router to remove the second network communication protocol address routes to the adjacent routers. The system routes the data packet according to the created network communication path and the updated routing table of the first router.

  • Publication number: 20150195416
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a solution to optimize data transfer between a mobile device and a cloud storage provider. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention may select one or more files for transfer from the mobile device to a cloud storage device based on an analysis of a set (at least one) of factors such as: (1) the percentage of local storage being consumed on the mobile device; (2) the mobile device's billing plan, and whether file transfer will cause the billing plan to be exceeded; (3) a capacity of a link between the mobile device and the cloud storage provider; (4) dates of last access for files stored on the mobile device; and/or (5) a battery power remaining in the mobile device (if applicable). Any files selected based on an analysis of these factors can be transferred via the link and deleted from the mobile device. Typically, a file is a candidate for transfer if it has not been accessed recently (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20130262250
    Abstract: A method for allocation of application licenses includes establishing a computing environment comprising a licensed application or service accessed by at least two users, each user having an associated computer system; establishing an ordered list of users for a licensed application or service, in which users have a predefined priority based on a business value or function; establishing at least one user attribute comprising whether a user's virtual machine will be archived and saved for later resumption if the user's license is at least one of suspended, removed, or reallocated; and establishing at least one disqualification threshold for at least one user.

  • Publication number: 20130227338
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for reconfiguring interrelationships between components of virtual computing networks (e.g., a grid computing network, a local area network (LAN), a cloud computing network, etc.). In a typical embodiment, a set of information pertaining to a set of components associated with a virtual computing network is received in a computer memory medium or the like. Based on the set of information, a graphical representation (e.g., hierarchical tree) depicting the set of interrelationships between the set of components is generated. When a failure in the virtual computing network is detected, at least one of the set of interrelationships between the set of components is reconfigured based on the graphical representation and the set of rules to address the failure.
