  • Patent number: 9537780
    Abstract: A device may receive traffic to be processed by one or more cloud computing resources associated with a cloud computing service provided via a cloud computing environment. The device may determine enforcement policy information associated with the traffic. The device may determine an aggregated performance metric associated with the traffic. The aggregated performance metric may be based on information associated with the one or more computing resources that are assigned to process the traffic. The device may determine a maximum performance metric associated with the traffic, and the maximum performance metric may be identified in the enforcement policy information. The device may compare the aggregated performance metric and the maximum performance metric, and may manage the traffic based on comparing the aggregated performance metric and the maximum performance metric.

  • Patent number: 8666833
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a data driven methodology to construct index print products for photographic images. A system and method are provided for defining an index print product as a collection of regions which may be pieced together to present a final index product. The index product is customizable for and by any one or more retailers or integration partner providers for a unique appearance and offering to end customers. More specifically, the present invention relates to providing dynamic index print products of photographic images wherein the index print product may also include other content that is individually specified, provided and maintained by partner providers of a film processor or fulfillment center. Providers are able to leverage customized marketing and brand messaging or other advertisement to add value to their index print product.
