Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a mobile edge computing (MEC) controller and from an application analytic engine, a registration request for an application. The registration request includes a request for MEC key performance indicators (KPIs). The method also includes communicating, by the MEC controller, MEC data associated with a first MEC host and a second MEC host to the application analytic engine. The method further includes receiving, by the MEC controller, MEC policies from the application analytic engine, determining to host the application in the first MEC host based on the MEC policies, and communicating the MEC policies to the first MEC host.

Abstract: Methods are provided in which devices vulnerable to performance degradation during a network offload process are identified and handled accordingly. In these methods, a network controller obtains data associated with operational performance of devices in a radio network during one or more offload procedures in which the devices are to be transitioned off of the radio network. The network controller further analyzes the data to determine impact to at least one performance parameter of the devices during the one or more offload procedures, and during a subsequent offload procedure, the network controller orchestrates offloading of the devices according to the impact determined to the at least one performance parameter based on the analyzing.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for generating and/or recoverying an end-to-end hybrid cloud snapshot are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive application specific triggering criteria for generating an end-to-end hybrid cloud snapshot; trigger a snapshot event based on the application specific triggering criteria and a machine learning model; accumulate snapshot portions from a plurality of nodes in a hybrid cloud network; and store, in a snapshot database, the end-to-end hybrid cloud snapshot comprising the snapshot portions from the plurality of nodes. Exemplary implementations may further include: generate a recovery model based on a snapshot database, wherein the snapshot database comprises a plurality of network snapshots associated with a network, receive parameters for a desired recovery state, and identify a recommended network snapshot from the plurality of network snapshots based on the recovery model and the parameters for the desired recovery state.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for managing a power consumption policy for a powered device. A network controller may be configured to receive power consumption information for a powered device (PD) connected to power sourcing equipment (e.g., a PSE device), calculate a predicted threshold for the PD based on the power consumption information for the PD, and transmit the predicted threshold for the PD to the PSE device. Power sourcing equipment is configured to calculate power consumption information for the PD, transmit the power consumption information for the PD to the network controller, receive a predicted threshold for the PD, and implement a power consumption policy for the PD based on the predicted threshold.
