A network slice switching method, a terminal, a storage medium and an electronic device, the method including steps that under the situation that a second terminal has established a connection with a first terminal, the second terminal displays a network slice list, where the network slice list includes a plurality of first network slices, and the first network slices provide a network data service for the second terminal; the second terminal receives a selection instruction; and the second terminal sends a target identifier of the target network slice to the first terminal so that the first terminal can switch the current network slice into the target network slice.

Systems, devices, and methods discussed herein enable the provisioning of one or more virtual resources within a cloud-computing environment based at least in part on user-defined constraints. By way of example, a request to provision one or more virtual resources within the cloud-computing environment may be received. The request may include a set of user-defined constraints. Placement data indicating a mapping of a particular virtual resource to a particular hardware resource may be obtained based at least in part on the set of user-defined constraints. The virtual resource(s) may be provisioned within the cloud-computing environment in accordance with the set of user-defined constraints based at least in part on utilization of the placement data.

Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for dynamically extending a cloud management system by adding endpoint adapter types are disclosed. An example cloud management system includes: an interface to communicate with an external device; a host to manage requests and allocate resources through one or more virtual machines; and an endpoint registry to include an endpoint adapter and metadata defining the endpoint adapter, the endpoint adapter to specify communication between at least one of the host or the external device and an endpoint. In the example cloud management system, the host is to at least enable, via the interface, the external device to access the endpoint registry a) to register an endpoint adapter configuration with the endpoint registry and b) to retrieve the endpoint adapter configuration from the endpoint registry.

A system includes a network of multiple network domains, each network domain includes a software defined network (SDN) controller. Each SDN controller includes a network interface circuitry, a processor and a memory. The network interface circuitry provides a communicative coupling with at least one domain of the multiple network domains. The memory includes instructions that when executed by the processor, performs a network update comprising adding links, subtracting links or reporting a status of links in at least one network domain upon receiving a network update request, and performs sending and receiving the network update request to a second SDN controller, where the network update request is part of real-time publish/subscribe protocol, the sending network update request includes a publish message having a specified topic and a set of QoS attributes, and the receiving a network update request includes subscribing to the specified topic and the set of QoS attributes.

An initial provisioning by a management plane of the SD-WAN is received from a centralized SD-WAN gateway with static path overlay between the network edge device on a local LAN and the centralized SD-WAN gateway. At runtime, intelligent decision are made about which overlay path to select and when for the new flow over a control plane of the SD-WAN, based on the topology of the remote network edge and the local SDWAN policy, and to build the selected overlay path.

Hybrid edge computing that includes a nimble framework that identifies services for available in a marketplace. The nimble framework defines a location for computing the services selected from the group consisting of a center server, an edge provision server and an edge node. The hybrid edge computing further includes a third party provider making are request for a service to the nimble framework. The hybrid edge computing further includes a virtualized service being provided by the nimble framework to the third party provider including a matched service to the third party provider request for the service, and an optimal location for computing.

A system and method for a virtual desktop system is disclosed. The system includes a master fabric region including resources for provisioning a desktop. The system includes a plurality of expansion fabric regions. Each of the expansion fabric regions including replicated resources for provisioning the desktop from the master fabric region. The system includes a control plane having a global pool. A client device application operated by a user associated with the global pool accesses a desktop from either the master fabric region or one of the expansion fabric regions. The control plane is operable to add a new expansion fabric region to the plurality of expansion fabric regions or eliminate one of the plurality of expansion fabric regions.

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for displaying future trends of evaporation pond wastewater quantity and quality. A distributed float network is managed using a wastewater evaporation pond management (WEPM) system with an embedded supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The WEPM collects data, including sensory information, from evaporation ponds. A configuration data upload for remote terminal units (RTUs) managed by the WEPM is automated using the WEPM system and the embedded SCADA system. Evaporation pond wastewater quantity and quality and adherence to environmental standards and regulations are monitored using the WEPM system. Environmental compliance data is collected from the distributed float network. The environmental compliance data collected from the distributed float network managed by the WEPM system is analyzed. A dashboard is provided displaying future trends of the evaporation ponds wastewater quantity and quality.

In general, embodiments described herein relate to methods and systems for automating the configuration of network devices. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to using configuration commands that specify protocol-specified relationships in order to generate granular (or specific) filtering rules (also referred to as rules). The rules are subsequently programmed into the network device.
