TLDR
In this article, the authors describe an architecture for providing resilient services using architectures that have a number of failover features including the ability to handle failover of an entire data center.Abstract:
Described are embodiments directed at providing resilient services using architectures that have a number of failover features including the ability to handle failover of an entire data center. Embodiments include a first server pool at a first data center that provides client communication services. The first server pool is backed up by a second server pool that is located in a different data center. Additionally, the first server pool serves as a backup for the second server pool. The two server pools thus engage in replication of user information that allows each of them to serve as a backup for the other. In the event that one of the data centers fails, requests are rerouted to the backup server pool.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a system and methods for assigning and associating resources in a cloud computing environment is described, where virtual machines can be assigned or associated with pools corresponding to users as dedicated, standby, or preemptible machines.
Patent
Centralized resource usage visualization service for large-scale network topologies
TL;DR: In this article, a client request is received via a programmatic interface, indicating a particular lower resource usage limit to be imposed on at least one category of network traffic at a particular instance of a network-accessible service.
Patent
Intelligent wide area network (iwan)
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic device maintains a mapping between a particular application and the one or more overlays for the communication network, which can be adjusted by adjusting the mapping between the application and overlays.

Pricing of resources in virtual machine pools
Bradley Gene Calder,Ju Wang,Vaman Bedekar,Sriram Sankaran,II Marvin Mcnett,Pradeep Kumar Gunda,Yang Zhang,Shyam Antony,Kavitha Manivannan,Hemal Khatri +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system and methods for assigning resources in a cloud computing environment via a spot pricing process, which allows virtual machines to be assigned on a preemptible basis to pools based on bids associated with the pools.

Patent
Fast primary cluster recovery
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a cluster recovery process where each individual archive is a storage cluster of preferably symmetric nodes, and each node of a cluster typically executes an instance of an application that provides object-based storage of fixed content data and associated metadata.
Patent
Framework for managing clustering and replication
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework for managing both clustering and data replication in a software system distributed across multiple nodes, which includes at least one agent running at nodes comprising the distributed system.
Patent
Enterprise service availability through identity preservation
TL;DR: In this paper, a Service Preservation System (SPS) is described for service availability that provides automated recovery of server service in a timely and application intelligent manner, maintaining application consistency and integrity, while preserving server identity.

Managing access of multiple executing programs to non-local block data storage
Roland Paterson-Jones,Peter N. DeSantis,Atle Normann Jorgensen,Matthew S. Garman,Tate Andrew Certain +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe techniques for managing access of executing programs to non-local block data storage, such as a group of multiple server-block data storage systems that store block data volumes.
Patent
Scalable distributed storage and delivery
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe scalable distributed storage delivery method that can utilize commodity storage devices, thus there is little, if any, modification of the existing storage hardware or storage clients, according to an aspect is a system that can include a plurality of primary servers and application servers to deliver data to the storage client.
