Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A virtual network virtual machine may be implemented on a cloud computing facility to control communication among virtual machines executing applications and virtual machines executing middlebox functions. This virtual network virtual machine may provide for automatic scaling of middleboxes according to a heuristic algorithm that monitors the effectiveness of each middlebox on the network performance as application virtual machines are scaled. The virtual machine virtual network may also locate virtual machines in actual hardware to further optimize performance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What we claim is: 1. A computing system comprising a plurality of network connected computers implementing virtual machines and controlled by a cloud application that dynamically allocates virtual machines to different enterprises and monitors costs of the virtual machines against an account for each enterprise; the virtual machines for at least one enterprise including: (1) application virtual machines executing software to implement an application for the enterprise; (2) middl…
