Patent number: 9716634Abstract: A fulfillment bridge orchestrates various types of fulfillment that fall generally into three categories of fulfillment: CSB platform based automated provisioning; external automated provisioning; and manual workflow provisioning. External automated provisioning is implemented through fulfillment agents. The fulfillment agents can implements self-registration for allowing the fulfillment bridge to understand the capabilities of the fulfillment agent. Examples of such capabilities include, but are not limited to, supported actions and input/output parameters. Adapters of the fulfillment bridge interface with the fulfillment agents and fulfillment scripts that are independently operated with respect to the CSB platform can be use to interface with the fulfillment adapters.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Raghunath Sapuram, Manish Modh, Kedar Dave, Kishor Grandhe, Raghuram Krishnan

Publication number: 20150222723Abstract: A method is performed by a computer configured to facilitate brokering of cloud services. The method includes a plurality of operations. An operation of receiving a request for instantiating an instance of a cloud service budget for a customer is performed. An operation of receiving budget configuration information is performed after receiving the request for instantiating the instance of the budget. The budget configuration information specifies a cloud service budget threshold. An operation of determining a budgetary impact of the cloud service order is performed. An operation of receiving information defining a price of a cloud service order subject to the cloud service budget is performed. In response to the budgetary impact indicating that a price of the cloud order will cause a cloud service billing amount for the customer to exceed the budget threshold, an operation of implementing at least one budgetary action associated with the budgetary impact determination.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2015Publication date: August 6, 2015Applicant: GRAVITANT, INCInventors: Sridhar Adapalli, Kishor Grandhe, Fenil Raj Kumar Santhi, Raghunath Saparum
