Appl. No.:

13/152090

Inventors:

Ryan G. DeJana - Longmont CO, US
Lisa Seacat DeLuca - San Francisco CA, US
Daniel C. Krook - Fairfield CT, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

An embodiment of the invention provides a method and system for autoconfiguring a cloud instance based on contextual parameters. More specifically, an interface receives a request for a resource from a user; and, an analysis module connected to the interface examines parameters of the resource. The parameters of the resource include an encryption parameter and a language parameter. The analysis module also examines properties of the request, including a location of the user, at least one rule at the location of the user, and a dominant language at the location of the user. A processor connected to the analysis module determines whether the encryption parameter of the resource violates the rule at the location of the user. An instance generator connected to the processor creates a customized instance of the resource when the encryption parameter of the resource violates the rule at the location of the user.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

Network computing management is implemented by determining a location of a requestor requesting access to an instance configured at a data center, retrieving a list of data centers configured for a network computing environment, and evaluating aspects of the data centers in the list in view of the location of the requestor. The network computing management is further implemented by selecting a data center from the list that satisfies a threshold level of criteria and which threshold level exceeds a level ascertained for remaining data centers in the list. In response to determining the data center selected is different from the data center through which the instance is configured, the network computing management relocates the instance to the selected data center.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for provisioning a virtual resource instance (e.g., a server instance, etc.) in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) based upon network characteristics (e.g., physical locations, email addresses/configurations, network connection types, internet protocol (IP) addresses, etc.) of a set (at least one) of intended end users of the virtual resource instance. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, the network characteristics associated with the set of intended end users will be gathered and analyzed (e.g., to determine end user location, etc.). The analysis of the network characteristics will then be used to calculate/determine relative (e.g., network) efficiency scores for each intended end user for a set of potential data centers for the virtual resource instance. The relative efficiency scores for each potential data center will be summed/totaled to yield a total (e.g., network) efficiency score for each potential data center. Thereafter, the particular data center with the highest/best total efficiency score may be selected, and the requested resource instance may be provisioned at that data center.

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

37920401

Abstract:

A system, method and program product for delivering to an invitee of a teleconference an electronic file attached to or referenced by a meeting notice for the teleconference. The teleconference hosted by a server computer, the invitee has a telephone to call-in to the teleconference via a telephone connection, and an invitee computer downloads the electronic file from the server computer via a first network in response to selection by the invitee of a representation of the electronic file from the meeting notice. The server computer receives a notification that a predetermined combination of keys has been pressed by the invitee on the telephone. In response, the server computer determines an e-mail address or instant message address for the invitee. The server computer attaches and sends the electronic file to an e-mail or instant message with the attached electronic file to the e-mail address or instant message address.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for using electronic feeds (e.g., online news feeds, social media resources/websites, etc.) to predict potentially harmful events and take preemptive measures/actions to minimize and/or avoid loss. In a typical embodiment, a set of electronic feeds (e.g., news feeds and/or social networking website feeds) is accessed. A query is then issued against the set of feeds based on a set of search criteria pertaining to a possible event having a potential to adversely affect the networked computing environment. A set of results is received in a computer memory medium of the networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether at least one property of the set of results (e.g., a quantity of ‘hits’) meets one or more predetermined event criteria (e.g., a predetermined threshold).

International Classification:

G06F 12/02

US Classification:

711165, 711E12002

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach to forecast a potential demand for partitioned/sharded data and to distribute the data among a set of data partitions based on forecasted demand to optimize network characteristics (e.g., network bandwidth) and/or expedite data retrieval. For example, the data may be distributed among the partitions based on a quantity of trends/requests/hits on the data, so that requests for the data can be balanced among the partitions geographically.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for an image provider to specify data (e.g., commands to run, files to read), etc., about an image of a virtual resource (e.g., virtual machine, etc.) in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Such data may be used (e.g., at runtime) by a client application to obtain specific information about a running instance that is provisioned based on the image (e.g., operating system health, middleware health, etc.).
