Abstract: In one embodiment a method for receiving a request from a user to update a pointer record of a domain name system (DNS) in a DNS service includes issuing a query from the DNS service to a resource of a first service of the data center from the DNS service using a uniform resource indicator (URI) of the request corresponding to the resource, receiving a list of Internet protocol (IP) addresses in the DNS service from the first service, determining whether an IP address received in the request corresponds to one of the IP addresses of the list, and if so, enabling the user to update the pointer record.

Abstract: A system and method for the integration of databases in a multi-tenant cloud environment. The method includes specific systems that integrate MS SQL and other database software with a cloud based infrastructure as a service platform, specifically OpenStack Nova. This method also includes certain optimization and rebalancing innovations to maximize databases in a cloud environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed generally to advancements for quickly and transparently provisioning, horizontal scaling, and managing of databases, and more specifically to a system and method for quickly and transparently provisioning, horizontally scaling and managing MS SQL databases in a cloud environment. This method also includes certain optimization and rebalancing innovations to maximize database performances.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for “dye-to-order” carpet manufacturing that address deficiencies in the carpet manufacturing industry, some of which are discussed above. In one embodiment, an improved manufacturing system is provided that allows manufacturers to change colors “on the fly” (e.g., within a single roll) with minimal waste. In another embodiment, a dye-to-order processing system is provided that maps multiple orders to undyed carpet rolls such that usage of the undyed carpet rolls is optimized.
