Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An application as a service provided in a secure environment. A sandbox in a user's computing environment may be created. An application may be downloaded to the user's computing environment to run within the sandbox. Data sources associated with the user's computing environment may be searched and connectivity established with data registry of the data sources based on data description received with the application. The application may be run within the sandbox using the established connectivity. Metering may be performed to monitor usage of the application at the user's computing environment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . A method of providing an application as a service in a secure environment, comprising: creating a sandbox in a user's computing environment; downloading an application to the user's computing environment to run within the sandbox; searching data sources associated with the user's computing environment and establishing connectivity with data registry of the data sources based on data description received with the application; installing the application to run within the sandbox using the established connectivity. 2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: metering usage of the application at the user's computing environment. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the application comprises database, visualization and analytics components. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the sandbox allows access to data local to the user's computing environment and prevents the data from leaving the user's computing environment. 5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically validating an installation of the application by discovering data specified in the data description in the data sources and determining whether the data specified in the data description exist in the data sources. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the application is downloaded from a computing environment that provides the application as SaaS. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a user interface is provided for allowing a user to enter the application to use as service.
