Abstract: A method for minimizing allocation failures in a cloud computing system without overprovisioning may include determining a predicted supply for a virtual machine series in a system unit of the cloud computing system during an upcoming time period. The predicted supply may be based on a shared available current capacity and a shared available future added capacity for the virtual machine series in the system unit. The method may also include predicting an available capacity for the virtual machine series in the system unit during the upcoming time period. The predicted available capacity may be based at least in part on a predicted demand for the virtual machine series in the system unit during the upcoming time period and the predicted supply. The method may also include taking at least one mitigation action in response to determining that the predicted demand exceeds the predicted supply during the upcoming time period.

Abstract: A system and a method for collating and displaying information, the system comprising display creation means; template creation means; interactive means; editing means; browsing means; and multi-platform deployment means. The system can be used with multiple platforms including web based social networking, mobile based social networking, advertising, enterprise management, and 3rd party support. The method including the steps of enabling interaction with pre-determined information; creating a multi-dimensional templates having surfaces for display of information; displacing the created surfaces said displacement including moving the surfaces, rotating the surfaces and scaling the surfaces up and down; editing the information displayed on the surfaces; browsing information on said surfaces selectively; and deploying the system to be used with multiple platforms.
