Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: attaching a user equipment to a communication network via Evolved Nodes B respectively controlling radio cells of the communication network. A new communication channel for the user equipment is assigned based on usage characteristics of the user equipment.

Abstract: Method of clock synchronization in cloud computing. A plurality of physical computer assets are provided. The plurality of physical computer assets are linked together to form a virtualized computing cloud, the virtualized computing cloud having a centralized clock for coordinating the operation of the virtualized computing cloud; the virtualized computing cloud is logically partitioned into a plurality of virtualized logical server clouds, each of the virtualized logical server clouds having a local clock synchronized to the same centralized clock; a clock type from a clock palette is selected for at least one of the virtualized logical server clouds; the clock type is implemented in the at least one of the virtualized logical server clouds such that the clock type is synchronized to the at least one of the virtualized logical server clouds; and the centralized clock is disabled. The method may be performed on one or more computing devices.

Abstract: A system, method and program product for managing profiles for devices in a network. A computer system is disclosed having a configuration management system for managing configuration profiles for a set of devices within a network, and includes: a boundary definition system that employs a computerized process for defining a plurality of geospatial boundaries; a device manager that employs a computerized process for interfacing with remote agents associated with respective devices to recognize when a device has migrated into a new geospatial boundary; and a profile management system that employs a computerized process for uploading an updated configuration profile to the remote agent in response to the device being migrated to the new geospatial boundary.

Abstract: A communication request between a first computer and a second computer is received. At least two network resources in a communication path between the first computer and the second computer are determined. At least one satellite that is in communication with each of the at least two network resources in the communication path is identified, wherein the identified at least one satellite notifies each of the at least two network resources in the communication path of the communication request. Responsive to notifying the at least two network resources of the communication request, the communication request between the first computer and the second computer is initiated.
