Dynamic allocation of a workload across a plurality of clouds
TLDR
In this paper, a user interface can be configured to receive a user selection of a change of context for at least one of a plurality of workloads allocated to at least a single cloud.Abstract:
A method of allocating cloud resources. A user interface can be presented to a user. The user interface can be configured to receive a user selection of a change of context for at least one of a plurality of workloads allocated to at least one cloud. Responsive to receiving the user selection of the change of context for the workload, via a processor, a service level agreement applicable to the workload can be dynamically changed from a first service level agreement to a second service level agreement, while the workload remains in an available state.read more

Methods and apparatus to manage workload domains in virtual server racks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a policy enforcer to evaluate whether the capacities of the plurality of workload domains comply with policy capacity levels of respective user-defined policies for the workload domains, and a resource manager to allocate the second quantity of resources from the first workload domain to the second workload domain, and de-allocate remaining resources from a shared resource pool to satisfy the first policy capacity level.

Provisioning of computer systems using virtual machines
TL;DR: In this paper, a provisioning server automatically configures a virtual machine according to user specifications and then deploys the VM on a physical host, where the user can either choose from a list of pre-configured, ready-to-deploy VMs, or he may select which hardware, operating system and application(s) he would like the VM to have.

System and method of brokering cloud computing resources
Abstract: System, method, and tangible computer-readable storage media are disclosed for providing a brokering service for compute resources The method includes, at a brokering service, polling a group of separately administered compute environments to identify resource capabilities and information, each compute resource environment including the group of managed nodes for processing workload, receiving a request for compute resources at the brokering service system, the request for compute resources being associated with a service level agreement (SLA) and based on the resource capabilities across the group of compute resource environments, selecting compute resources in one or more of the group of compute resource environments The brokering service system receives workload associated with the request and communicates the workload to the selected resources for processing The brokering services system can aggregate resources for multiple cloud service providers and act as an advocate for or a guarantor of the SLA associated with the workload

Dynamic load balancing and scaling of allocated cloud resources in an enterprise network
Li Erran Li,Thomas Y. Woo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a workload distribution system for an enterprise network (101) extended in to a cloud network (102) and a related method is described, where the enterprise network employs one or more load balancers in both a private enterprise network and a public cloud network to distribute work among the servers in both networks based on criteria such as overall system performance and costs.
