  • Publication number: 20080082667
    Abstract: Remote provisioning of an IT network and/or associated services is provided. Hardware, software, service and/or expertise can be moved from on-premise to a remote location (e.g., central, distributed . . . ). Accordingly, at least a large degree computation can be moved to the center to exploit economies of scale, among other things. In such an architecture, computational resources (e.g., data storage, computation power, cache . . . ) can be pooled, and entities can subscribe to a particular level of resources related to a private entity IT network.

  • Publication number: 20080082857
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates re-locating a web application associated with a network service utilizing a portion of serialized data. The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). A receiver component can receive a request for initiating and execution of a process that is maintained by the network service. A servicing component can analyze representations of multiple processes within the network service and determines whether to enable initiation and execution of the process based at least in part upon the analysis.

  • Patent number: 7328407
    Abstract: A data system user interface that can employ different data collection renderers (e.g., views) based on an attribute of the content of a view-set (e.g., list, folder, directory) is provided. In accordance with aspects of the subject invention, views that are suitable to present certain types of content can be automatically selected. This automatic selection can employ the use of more specialized, optimized views based on the content of the view-set. The contents of the view-set can be analyzed and matched against an extensible set of view selection rules. It will be understood that, although the custom view can have a completely different visual appearance from the standard, default and/or generic view, the subject invention enables custom views to run within the same window as the standard view.
