Abstract: A secure custom application cloud computing architecture which facilitates virtually seamless migration of custom applications to and from a cloud computing environment in response to user needs. The architecture identifies the custom applications and the associated network architecture needed to support the applications. The network architecture is then replicated in the cloud and the custom applications are migrated thereto. In some embodiments, the application can be archived while in the cloud and disabled, then later reenabled when needed.

Abstract: A method is provided to establish affinity for each pair of processors with a specific processor bus which eliminates the need for cross-bus operations in cache invalidation operations. Each pair of processors in the network is exercised for elapsed time of cache update cycle completion. Those pairs having the minimal execution times are then selected for utilization of applications to be executed.

Abstract: A performance measurement tool is developed to measure performance of a terminal server servicing multiple Clients who operate on remote systems in a farm of multiple PC's. Test scripts to simulate actual operating conditions are run on each PC Client-User over a sequence of time which varies the number of concurrently active PC Client-Users from a small number of Users to a vary large number of current Users. During this test period, a record is kept of designated simulated-user-initiated actions such as log-on times, time to open various application programs, and character entries thus to determine acceptable operating configurations.

Abstract: A specialized data format native to a first platform is wrap-packaged into an industry-standard text file in a protocol suitable for Internet transmittal. A Signature Support Library provides parameters to combine with a User's private key to generate a signature particular to the data file being converted.

Abstract: A method and system is provided whereby after specialized original native format files have been signatured and “wrapped” into industry standard byte stream text files for transmission over the Internet (or for use of other computer platforms), then subsequently, said wrapped files with signature can be accessed by the proprietary computer platform which will then use the signature to verify the integrity of the files and will unwrap or re-create these files back into the original specialized native format for use by the proprietary computer platform.

Abstract: A method and system is provided whereby after specialized original native format data files have been signatured and “wrapped” along with a directory into an industry standard byte stream container file for transmission over the Internet (or for use of other computer platforms), then subsequently, the container of wrapped files with its signature can be accessed by a proprietary computer platform which will then use the signature to verify the integrity of the files and will unwrap or re-create these files back into the original specialized native format for use by the proprietary computer platform.

Abstract: A container of data files and directory in a specialized first format are converted (wrapped) into an industry-standard text container file into a protocol suitable for Internet transmittal. A Signature Support Library and several procedural routines, together with parameters from the Support Library are utilized to combine with a user's private key to generate a signature particular to the container data file which has been converted. The container now with signature resides in a protocol suitable for transmission on the Internet or for burning onto a CD-ROM which is now usable for different platforms other than the original file protocol of a first platform which was only compatible with said specialized first format of the first platform.

Abstract: A system and method for transforming specialized data files of a first computer system into industry-standard byte-stream files usable for a second system or other systems. First and second programmatic interfaces of the first system can take the specialized format native data files and transform them into standard formatted byte-stream data files for placement in a storage media of a second computer system which can then be initiated to use a CD Writer package to cause the data files to burned onto a CD-ROM. This CD-ROM can then provide the byte-stream data file for use in many different types of platforms.

Abstract: A system and method is provided by which byte stream data files in industry-standard format can be retrieved from a compact disk and then re-created to provide an original set of native format files suitable for use by a first computer system. Additionally, an integrated network of a first computer platform which utilizes native file formats working in conjunction with a second computer platform which uses byte stream file formats can be utilized so that the second computer platform may transfer the byte stream data files to a commonly shared storage means, such as a disk, after which the first computer platform can then utilize a first interface program and a second interface program in order to convert the byte stream files into copies of the original native file suitable for the first computer platform.
