Abstract: A controller maps a plurality of client-side traffic ports to a plurality of line-side optical ports of a wavelength division multiplexing system, that are operatively coupled to at least one optical long haul link. The controller determines idle traffic overhead associated with at least one mapped client-side traffic port of the plurality of client-side traffic ports. The controller determines that there is underutilized bandwidth capacity in at least a first line-side optical port in the plurality of mapped line-side ports that would reduce a need for use of at least a second line-side optical port. The controller logically remaps at least one client-side traffic port from the second line-side port to the underutilized first line-side optical port in response to determining that there is underutilized bandwidth capacity of the first line-side optical port.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing intelligent power shifting in an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) system for enhanced system efficiency. Disclosed embodiments implement intelligent power shifting to decrease UPS power consumption during normal system operation in the presence of a main power signal, increasing system efficiency, while providing redundancy in the absence or a disruption of the main power signal. Power shifting is based on an intelligent algorithm for controlling current through power supply units (PSUs) of the UPS system to shift a substantial portion of the main power signal through PSUs that are connected to power distribution units (PDU) not powered through the UPS, reducing power consumption by the UPS.

Abstract: An approach is provided for facilitating user access to an obscured online cancellation option. By using natural language processing (NLP) and learned patterns of order systems that employ hostile architecture designs, it is determined that cancellation option(s) that cancel order(s) are obscured by hostile architecture design(s) employed by online platform(s). The order(s) specify service(s) ordered by a user. Cancellation selection(s) are presented in a user interface to provide the user with a direct access to an activation of the cancellation option(s). The direct access provides a user experience that avoids the hostile architecture design(s).
