Patent number: 11243813Abstract: Manage a request for a computing service through a hub solution available on a network. The underlying network fabric is the communication bus between individual processes that make up a service request. A process orchestrator may publish an Internet Protocol (IP) address for service requests such as printing services, email services, Active Directory (AD) services and similar service requests. The process orchestrator may determine which processes are to be executed to complete the service request and offload the processes to an available computing resources on the network. Examples of computing resources for each process include a virtual machine and a hardware based process engine. The process orchestrator may manage the processes and act as the primary point of interface for an endpoint host requesting the service.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Todd Douglas Robinson, Stephen Michael Leonard, Hamza Yaswi, Rebecca E.

Patent number: 10769691Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises: generating, by a computing device, a computer-accessible corpus including evidence passage generation information; storing, by the computing device, the corpus; automatically generating, by the computing device, evidence passages that support a proposer's response to a customer's proposal request, wherein the evidence passages include a narrative identifying the proposer's capabilities to satisfy evaluation criteria in the proposal request, and wherein the narrative is based on customer-specific information, wherein the generating includes accessing and searching the corpus via an application programming interface (API); and outputting, by the computing device, the evidence passages as an electronic document that is editable via software running on a user device via a user interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Christopher F. Codella, Kevin W. Hall, Stephen M. Leonard, Rebecca E. Lutz, Todd D. Robinson

Patent number: 9942089Abstract: A method, hardware device, and/or computer program product manages network resources. A cloud service provider hypervisor server that supports a cloud service provider hypervisor receives a cloud consumer's management information base (MIB) via an application program interface. The cloud consumer's MIB is a portable MIB that is capable of being loaded into multiple cloud service provider hypervisors. A trap receiver in the cloud service provider hypervisor server receives a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap from a resource described by the cloud consumer's MIB. The SNMP trap is an SNMP message that describes an event in the resource. The cloud service provider hypervisor server transfers the SNMP trap to a cloud consumer without any interpretation of the SNMP trap by the cloud service provider hypervisor.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Srinivas Cheemalapati, Clinton Douglas, Rebecca E.

A trap receiver in the cloud service provider hypervisor server receives a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap from a resource described by the cloud consumer's MIB. The SNMP trap is an SNMP message, from the resource, that describes an event in the resource. The SNMP trap bypasses the cloud service provider hypervisor, such that the cloud service provider hypervisor server transfers the SNMP trap to the cloud consumer without any interpretation of the SNMP trap by the cloud service provider hypervisor.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Srinivas Cheemalapati, Clinton Douglas, Rebecca E.
