Improved techniques for managing enterprise applications on mobile devices are described herein. Each enterprise mobile application running on the mobile device has an associated policy through which it interacts with its environment. The policy selectively blocks or allows activities involving the enterprise application in accordance with rules established by the enterprise. Together, the enterprise applications running on the mobile device form a set of managed applications. Managed applications are typically allowed to exchange data with other managed applications, but are blocked from exchanging data with other applications, such as the user's own personal applications. Policies may be defined to manage data sharing, mobile resource management, application specific information, networking and data access solutions, device cloud and transfer, dual mode application software, enterprise app store access, and virtualized application and resources, among other things.

Policy-Based Application Management

In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a virtualization environment adapted for development and deployment of at least one software workload, the virtualization environment having a metamodel framework that allows the association of a policy to the software workload upon development of the workload that is applied upon deployment of the software workload. This allows a developer to define a security zone and to apply at least one type of security policy with respect to the security zone including the type of security zone policy in the metamodel framework such that the type of security zone policy can be associated with the software workload upon development of the software workload, and if the type of security zone policy is associated with the software workload, automatically applying the security policy to the software workload when the software workload is deployed within the security zone.

Head-worn adaptive display

An eyepiece includes a mechanical frame adapted to secure a lens and an image source facility above the lens. The image source facility includes an LED, a planar illumination facility and a reflective display. The planar illumination facility converts a light beam from the LED received on a side of the planar illumination facility into a top emitting planar light source, uniformly illuminates the reflective display, and is substantially transmissive to allow reflected light to pass through towards a beam splitter. The beam splitter is positioned to receive the image light and to reflect a portion onto a mirrored surface. The mirrored surface is positioned and shaped to reflect the image light into an eye of a user of the eyepiece thereby providing an image within a field of view, the mirrored surface further adapted to be partially transmissive within an area of image reflectance.

According to one system of the invention, the system provides a cloud-computing service from a cloud-computing environment comprising a plurality of cloud-computing resources. The system may comprise: a management module configured to manage a cloud-computing resource of the plurality of cloud-computing resources as a cloud-computing service, wherein the cloud-computing service performs a computer workload; an adapter configured to connect to the cloud-computing resource to the system and translate a management instruction received from the management module into a proprietary cloud application program interface call for the cloud-computing resource; a cloud service bus configured to route the management instruction from the management module to the adapter; a consumption module configured to allow a user to subscribe the cloud-computing service; a planning module configured to plan the cloud-computing service; and a build module configured to build the cloud-computing service from the cloud-computing resource and publish the cloud-computing service to the consumption module.

System and method for a cloud computing abstraction with self-service portal

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive information about an application design plan. The application design plan can be associated with at least one deployment criterion. One or more available infrastructure resources can be identified based on the information about the application design plan. A plurality of deployment options can be determined based on the one or more available infrastructure resources. The plurality of deployment options can be determined to be compliant with the at least one deployment criterion. The plurality of deployment options can be ranked to produce an ordered set of deployment options.
