A method implemented in a data center management node including obtaining, from memory, a physical stack describing a configuration of platform components across multiple operating platforms on a data center infrastructure, generating, by a processor, a graph describing correlations between the operating platforms and the data center infrastructure based on a platform library, wherein the platform library describes configurations of the platform components for each of the operating platforms separately, generating, by the processor, one or more logical stacks based on the graph, wherein the one or more logical stacks indicate deployable configurations of the operating platforms without depicting the platform components, and representing the logic stack to a user.

Systems and methods for configuring the operation of recording devices that may be removably mounted to a mount. A mount may provide a unique identifier. The unique identifier may be used to select a configuration profile for configuring the operation of the recording device coupled to the mount. A recording device that is moved from one mount to another may receive a different profile in accordance with the identifier of the new mount to control the operation of the recording device while mounted to the new mount. A server may store, retrieve, and provide profiles to recording devices.

A method for load balancing application requests across a multi-cluster container orchestration system includes receiving a load-balancing configuration for a multi-cluster service managing access to a set of destination clusters hosting a software application deployed by a user. The multi-cluster service uses the load-balancing configuration to load balance application level traffic across the set of destination clusters. Each destination cluster includes at least one container executing the software application and a respective geographical region. The method also includes receiving an application level request directed toward the software application hosted across the destination clusters. The application level request is received from a client and includes a host name and a geographical location associated with the client. The method also includes routing the request to one of the clusters based on the geographical location of the request and the respective geographical locations of the clusters.

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for interactive software demonstrations. While a presenter demonstrates software to the participants, the demonstration may be “paused” and “resumed.” When paused, the participants are able to interact with the demonstrated software program. When “resumed,” the participants are not able to interact with the demonstrated software program. Spawned virtual machines, wherein the virtual machines control access to the software program being demonstrated, permit participant interaction.

A method for triggering execution of a workflow over a network comprises receiving an instruction to execute a workflow comprising a first task for being executed on a first remote device, receiving network settings from the user device to enable communication and execution of the first task on the first remote device, applying the network settings to at least one of the host or the first remote device, and executing the first task on the first remote device using the network settings upon receiving the instructions from the user device. The workflow comprises multiple tasks for execution on multiple remote devices. Multiple tasks include the first task, and multiple remote devices include the first remote device. Network settings include settings for establishing communication between any two or more of the host and the remote devices.

One example method includes receiving an input that indicates selection of a cloud storage provider, receiving one or more product selection inputs, each of the product selection inputs indicating selection of a respective data protection product, receiving an input indicating an instance size, assembling the inputs together to define a data protection configuration, and automatically generating a script which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, deploys the data protection configuration in a cloud storage environment of the selected cloud storage provider.

A method of transmitting data information electronically primarily between two units with the third intermediate unit. Primary unit 150 “VARe” processes received raw data information for validation; and primary unit 180 “USeR” transmits raw data information to be processed then receive back the processed data information, and other pertinent information; the intermediate unit 135 “PUMa” is the inventor of the software application designed to interface among VARe and various USeR devices. PUMa installs the software application online in the USeR unit and frequently checks VARe for any code changed, added, deleted, replaced, mutated and or permutated; then updates the USeR with accurate and valid data, algorithm and logical computation code for proper transaction and appropriate transmission of data information. The data information submitted by the USeR is checked and validated against the source code stored in VARe for an acceptance and approval or a rejection and disapproval of the transaction.

A method and an apparatus for controlling running of a service are described. The method includes: acquiring service running information of a service on a client, the service running information including a service running parameter and a service running status, and the service running status including a running state or a non-running state; determining, when the service running status of the service is the running state, a service control mode of the service according to the service running parameter and a preset service control mode list; and performing feedback control on the service according to the service control mode of the service.

Provided is a service providing system and method. The service providing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes recognizing, by a service provider terminal, a user terminal by transmitting and receiving at least one signal to and from the user terminal; transmitting, by the service provider terminal, a service request message to a service server after recognizing the user terminal, the service request message including identification information of a service being requested; determining, by the service server, a type of the service to be provided to the user terminal based on the identification information of the service included in the service request message; receiving, by the service provider terminal and from the service server, a service key corresponding to the service and transmitting the service key to the user terminal; receiving, by the service server and from the user terminal, the service key; and transmitting, to the user terminal and by the service server, a service execution code used for providing the service.

An intelligent gateway device provided at a premise (home or business) for providing and managing application services associated with use and support of a plurality of digital endpoint devices associated with the premises. The device includes a communications and processing infrastructure integrated with a peer and presence messaging based communications protocol for enabling communications between the device and an external support network and between the device and connected digital endpoint devices. A services framework at the gateway device implements the communications and processing infrastructure for enabling service management, service configuration, and authentication of user of services at the intelligent gateway. The framework provides a storage and execution environment for supporting and executing received service logic modules relating to use, management, and support of the digital endpoint devices. Thus, the gateway device provides a network-based services point of presence for a plurality of digital endpoint devices at the premises.
