Abstract: A method for operating a cloud gateway is provided. The method includes generating a plurality of rules relating users and groups to data access at a plurality of cloud service providers. The method includes encrypting, at one of a plurality of connectors, outgoing data that is moving through a cloud gateway en route from a proxy server to one of the plurality of cloud service providers, responsive to a data write request associated with a first user, the encrypting in accordance to one of the plurality of rules as related to the first user. The method includes decrypting, at one of the plurality of connectors, incoming data that is moving through the cloud gateway en route from one of the plurality of cloud service providers to the server, responsive to a data read request associated with a second user, the decrypting in accordance to one of the plurality of rules as related to the second user.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying search keywords for searching for an online information resource are disclosed. The method involves receiving a request, from a business, for search keywords relating to the content of the business's online information resource. The method further involves generating a post including a link to a search keyword recommendation page; and publishing, using a social network application, the post to a newsfeed in a social network. Additionally, the method involves receiving, from social network users, a plurality of search keywords relating to the online information resource's content. In addition, the method involves ranking the received search keywords; and presenting, to the business, the most popular search keywords.

Abstract: A method for publishing a website, including receiving, from a business, a request for a modification recommendation relating to a content of the website, generating, in response to receiving the request, a post including a name of the business, a business owner name, and a link to a recommendation page, publishing, using a social network application, the post to a newsfeed in a social network, where a plurality of users in the social network subscribe to the newsfeed, receiving, in response to publishing the post and from the plurality of users, a plurality of recommendations for the content of the website from the recommendation page, presenting, to the business, the plurality of recommendations, receiving, from the business, a selection of one or more website recommendations from the plurality of recommendations, and publishing the website including the one or more website recommendations.

Abstract: A method for managing a pre-existing website of a business includes receiving, from the business, business information comprising a business name, a location, an industry, an address, a phone number, and a business description, generating a business profile comprising the business information, obtaining, from a keyword provider, a plurality of keywords relating to the business, generating a title comprising the business name, the location, and the plurality of keywords, generating a footer comprising the industry, the address, the phone number, and the plurality of keywords, generating a website content item comprising the business description and the plurality of keywords, generating a first modified website based on the pre-existing website of the business, publishing the first modified website to a network, and inserting, into the business profile, a first hyperlink comprising a first uniform resource locator (URL) pointing to a first network location of the first modified website.

Abstract: Load sharing clusters in which each node is responsible for one or more non-overlapping subset(s) of the cluster namespace and will process only those requests that access file or directory objects in the partitioned namespace that the node controls while redirecting requests designated for other nodes. A non-overlapping subset may be migrated from a source node to a destination node, for example, for load sharing or hotspot mitigation. Migration typically includes maintaining a file virtualization link from the destination node to the source node to permit forwarding of requests by the destination node to the source node during migration of metadata and then migration of data from the source node. After migration is complete, the file virtualization link is broken and the destination node services requests for the non-overlapping subset from the migrated metadata and data.

Abstract: A method and system for selecting ring paths in service provisioning on optical networks including a plurality of interconnected rings. The method includes: receiving a request to provision a service between a first end point and a second end point in the optical network; identifying a plurality of possible ring paths between the first and second end points; validating a bandwidth of each ring path, including validating bandwidths of bandwidth bottlenecks in each ring path; selecting a path from the validated ring paths; and provisioning the service on the selected path. The system utilizes a path engine on a network management server that knows about the bandwidth allocation in the entire network and implements the method. The resources of the optical network used by the provisioned service is thus minimized.

Abstract: A method and system for interfacing a client and a network management server for provisioning services on an optical network, includes: providing a user interface at the client for provisioning a service in the optical network utilizing non-service specific presentation code and a data file at the client, where the data file includes parameters specific to the service; receiving data for the parameters from the client by a network management server; mapping the data for the parameters from the client to a network management server representation of the parameters; and mapping the network management server representation of the parameters to a network element specific format. When a new type of service is to be provisioned, the data files can be modified without needing to modify the presentation code.
