  • Patent number: 10375201
    Abstract: Techniques for identity and policy enforced cloud communications are presented. Cloud channel managers monitor messages occurring within a cloud or between independent clouds. Policy actions are enforced when processing the messages. The policy actions can include identity-based restrictions and the policy actions are specific to the messages and/or clouds within which the messages are being processed.

  • Patent number: 9473499
    Abstract: In various embodiments, techniques for federated role provisioning are provided. A federated role definition for a resource is constructed and distributed. The federated role definition includes a role hierarchy having role assignments and constraints for dynamically resolving and binding a resource to particular ones of the role assignments. A resource may have role assignments statically bound to its identity and dynamically bound to its identity. Furthermore, some role assignments may be inherited from the role hierarchy.

  • Patent number: 9123006
    Abstract: Techniques for parallel business intelligence and management are provided. Data is collected from a variety of disparate sources and from a variety of disparate network locations. The data is then filtered and normalized. Next, relationships between elements in the data are established and correlations are created between the elements. The elements are then tagged and integrated with other data of a distributed knowledge store to create customized business intelligence reports and customized data visualizations.

  • Patent number: 8095590
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for distributing data over a network. One or more source nodes distribute data to an intermediate node. The intermediate node accumulates the data, dynamically selects a first path for distributing the data to a first destination node, and dynamically selects a second path for distributing the data to a second destination node. In an embodiment, the data is simultaneously distributed over the first and second paths from the intermediate node.

  • Patent number: 7734962
    Abstract: In various embodiments, techniques for secure problem resolution associated with complex data response networks are provided. Error messages associated with an executing problem service are trapped and hidden from a principal. The error messages are associated with a randomly generated incident identifier. The incident identifier is supplied to the principal. The principal gains access to the error messages when the principal successfully authenticates for access and supplies the incident identifier.

  • Patent number: 7043555
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for content filtering. Logic expressions are evaluated to filter content in response to content ratings. The logic expressions include operators that are overloaded and associated with content operators for specific content providers or specific rating systems. By evaluating the logic expressions with the content operators, one or more actions can be automatically and dynamically performed.
