Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method of preventing extreme coresidency hazards among application instances in a cloud network. The method includes determining a first failure group of a first instance of an application; establishing a connection with a second instance of a peer application; determining a second failure group of the second instance; comparing the first failure group to the second failure group; and establishing a second connection with a third instance of the peer application if the first failure group and the second failure group share a failure point.

Preventing extreme coresidency hazards in cloud computing

A method and system for network element recovery are provided. In one form, frontend servers intelligently proxy error or unavailability messages returned by backend servers and simulate frontend server failure. In at least one form, the frontend server also includes intelligence or logic to determine that directing the client to recover service to an alternate system or site would assure better service availability, reliability, and/or quality-of-experience for the client.

Method and system for network element service recovery

Various embodiments provide a method and apparatus of providing a rapid disaster recovery preparation in cloud networks that proactively detects disaster events and rapidly allocates cloud resources. Rapid disaster recovery preparation may shorten the recovery time objective (RTO) by proactively growing capacity on the recovery application(s)/resource(s) before the surge of recovery traffic hits the recovery application(s)/resource(s). Furthermore, rapid disaster recovery preparation may shorten RTO by growing capacity more rapidly than during 'normal operation' where the capacity is increased by modest growth after the load has exceeded a utilization threshold for a period of time.

Method and apparatus for rapid disaster recovery preparation in a cloud network

A method of intercepting call content in a packet-based Internet Protocol (IP) network. The method includes targeting bearer packets containing the call content via a Softswitch controlling the redirection of the targeted bearer packets through a specified Intercept Router using alias IP addresses for the targeted bearer packets.
