  • Edge-based resource spin-up for cloud computing
    Patent number: 8539079
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include distributing new resources closer to end-users which are making increased demands by spinning-up additional virtualized instances (as part of a cloud provisioning) within servers that are physically near to the network equipment (i.e., web servers, switches, routers, load balancers) that are receiving the requests.
    Type: Grant

  • DYNAMIC ROUTE REQUESTS FOR MULTIPLE CLOUDS
    Publication number: 20130080613
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include a method of dynamically routing requests within multiple cloud computing networks. The method includes receiving a request for an application from a user device, forwarding the request to an edge server within a content delivery network (CDN), and analyzing the request to gather metrics about responsiveness provided by the multiple cloud computing networks running the application. The method further includes analyzing historical data for the multiple cloud computing networks regarding performance of the application, based on the performance metrics and the historical data, determining an optimal cloud computing network within the multiple cloud computing networks to route the request, routing the request to the optimal cloud computing network, and returning the response from the optimal cloud computing network to the user device.
