Abstract: Consumer Point-of-Sale (POS) systems are becoming a major target for financial data loss within the commerce ecosystem. Privileged information, such as account numbers, card information, and transaction data are the primary targets during these data breaches. This information, while resident on a point-of-sale system, can be in plain text and susceptible to theft. The intent of this document is to present a unique solution that reduces the attack surface for these types of “hacks”, and protects consumer data through specialized cryptographic operations including data level encryption with a cryptographic bitsplitting algorithm. This makes the data useless to those who would take the data unlawfully. The invention allows for the efficient and effective processing of financial data while converting the data to a useless state for those who would obtain it unlawfully.

Abstract: Cloud migration may be performed by identifying applications that are currently operating in the enterprise and performing certain determinations as to whether those applications are proper candidates for the migration to the cloud. One example method of operation may provide identifying at least one application operating on an enterprise network, retrieving current usage data of the at least one application, comparing the current usage data of the at least one application to a threshold amount of usage data to determine whether the application has exceeded the threshold amount of usage data. Next, the creation of an instance process may be performed on an entity operating outside the enterprise network and the application may be operated via the instance process and otherwise terminated in the enterprise network to alleviate resources.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed of monitoring a number of virtual machines operating in an enterprise network. One example method of operation may include identifying a number of virtual machines currently operating in an enterprise network and determining performance metrics for each of the virtual machines. The method may also include identifying at least one candidate virtual machine from the virtual machines to optimize its active application load and modifying the candidate virtual machine to change its active application load.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed to identify the operations/processes performed by one or more virtual machines. In one example method of operation, the system may perform identifying processes currently operating in an operating system and recording process information corresponding to each of the processes in a memory. The method may also include determining a priority for each of the processes currently operating in the operating system and incrementing a current priority of at least one of the processes.

Abstract: An example operation may include a method comprising one or more of starting a communication session by a first application container, initiating a poll, by the first application container, when the first application container has data in its queue, responding, by at least one second application container, data, wherein the data includes one or more of an identification, a state, a percentage of utilized resources by type, a list of data elements in a queue of the application container, a list of data elements in a queue, and data that is pre-allocated to be shared, requesting the data, by the at least one second application container, and ending the communication session when one or more of the first application container sends a FIN, and the at least one second application container sends a FIN.

Abstract: An example of the instant solution comprises at least one of receiving an encrypted data and an encryption key, generating a randomized matrix, dispersing the encrypted data based on the randomized matrix resulting in a fragmented encrypted data and dispersing the encryption key based on the randomized matrix and the fragmented encrypted data.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method of performing a data file migration to a cloud source. One example method of operation may include establishing via a transmitter an application programming interface (API) connection to an enterprise network, identifying via a processor one or more present allocation parameters being utilized by one or more virtual machines operating on the enterprise network. The method may also provide requesting via the transmitter a directory file structure and identifying via the processor at least one data file for data migration to a remote cloud storage server based on predetermined criteria.
