Patent number: 11985534Abstract: Techniques are described for a network providing application workload routing and application workload interworking. For example, a controller may move or replicate an application workload hosted on an original edge compute to a different edge compute in a different edge data center that is locally accessible by the device and route the network traffic to the new edge compute using paths mapped to respective traffic classes.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: EQUINIX, INC.Inventors: Oleg Berzin, Robert J. Huey

Patent number: 11304115Abstract: Techniques are described for a network providing network defined edge routing for an application workload. For example, a controller receives element registration information for each module hosted on a set of interconnected edge data centers and for one or more network devices that interconnect the modules in the network; obtain one or more routing metrics of the network; compute, based on the element registration information and the one or more routing metrics, one or more paths mapped to respective traffic classes to route traffic via the set of interconnected edge data centers; receive a request to route traffic according to a traffic class; and in response, send, to the set of interconnected edge data centers, a response specifying a path of the one or more paths that is mapped to the traffic class to cause the set of interconnected edge data centers to route traffic according to the traffic class.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Equinix, Inc.Inventors: Oleg Berzin, Robert J.

Patent number: 10135688Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes a configurable cable patch panel, or “active panel,” that serves as a demarcation point between a customer area of a communication facility and a provider area of the communication facility. As described herein, the active panel may be dynamically configured to interconnect existing customer-side and provider-side connections to active panel ports in order to facilitate on-demand virtual connections within the communication facility between facility customers and/or between a facility customer and communication facility services. In some examples, a programmable network platform for the communication facility exposes a collection of interfaces by which customers may request virtual connections, which the programmable network platform provisions, in part, by configuring the active panel to interconnect select customer-side ports of the active panel with select provider-side ports of the active panel.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Equinix, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Huey, Jared Newell
