Embodiments of an application gateway architecture may include an application gateway server computer communicatively connected to backend systems and client devices operating on different platforms. The application gateway server computer may include application programming interfaces and services configured for communicating with the backend systems and managed containers operating on the client devices. The application gateway server computer may provide applications that can be centrally managed and may extend the capabilities of the client devices, including the ability to authenticate across backend systems. A managed container may include a managed cache and may provide a secure shell for applications received from the application gateway server computer. The managed container may store the applications in the managed cache and control access to the managed cache according to rules propagated from at least one of the backend systems via the application gateway server computer.

Embodiments provide a web-based editing tool that intelligently leverages certain functionality of a browser, web client, desktop client, and native software at the client side to provide seamless user experience when editing a file over a network. Responsive to a user selecting a file for editing, the web client may send a passive content request to a web server embedded in the desktop client at a specific address on the client device. If no response, the web client prompts the user to start or install the desktop client on the client device. If a response is received, the web client sends a request to the desktop client with a user identifier and authorization to download the file from a server. The desktop client downloads the file, opens it in the native software, monitors the file being edited, and updates a delta associated with the file to the server.

Client application with embedded server

A managed container may have a managed cache storing content managed by or through an application gateway server computer. The managed container may receive a request for content from an application running in a secure shell provided by the managed container on a client device. The managed container may determine whether the client device is within a specified geographical location. If not, the managed container may deny or restrict the application access to the requested content. The access denial or restriction may continue until a connection is made to the application gateway server computer or until the client device has returned to within the specified geographical location. If the client device is within the specified geographical location, the managed container may provide or restore access to requested content. Embodiments of the managed container can therefore perform geofencing by disabling or limiting access to content based on predetermined secure/insecure designations.

System and method for geofencing

A remote wipe message or notification may be sent from a server computer to one or more target client devices associated with a user. A managed container running on a target client device associated with the user and having a managed cache storing content managed by or through the server computer may, in response to the remote wipe message or notification, deleting the managed content or a portion thereof from its managed cache. The managed container may send back an acknowledgement or message to the server computer that it had completed the remote wipe. The remote wipe functionality can avoid having to deal with individual applications running on the client device and therefore can eliminate the complexity of having to deal with individual applications. Furthermore, the remote wipe can be done independently of the local operating system and without affecting non-managed information/applications on the client device.

Disclosed is a multi-region data center connectivity solution for seamless integration between multi-region data center users and content. The solution supports user pinning (e.g., users and their personal content can be pinned to a particular geographical location/data center); protects personal content (e.g., personal content uploaded by a user is stored in that user's pinned geographical location/data center); and enables data sharing between multi-region data center users in a manner that is seamless and transparent to end users, while respecting user privacy, complying with data sovereignty requirements, and maintaining system anonymity.

According to some embodiments, a system for providing guided instructional design. The system includes at least one processing device and at least one data storage device in communication with the at least one processing device. The at least one data storage device is configured to store information about at least one course. For each course, the at least one processing device is configured to present at least one predetermined course component to a first user, and for the at least one course component: present at least one course parameter, receive at least one first input from the first user in relation to the at least one course parameter, based on the at least one first input and at least one educational design element, present at least one modified course parameter to the first user; and receive at least one second input from the first user in relation to the at least one modified course parameter.

A hosted application gateway server node may be communicatively coupled to backend systems, client devices, and database shards associated with database servers. Through the gateway server node, various services may be provided to managed containers running on client devices such that enterprise applications can be centrally managed. A sharding manager may manage relationships of database items across database shards. Each shard stores a copy of a table representing a split of a relationship. A shard ID mask is included in each item's ID. At query time, the shard ID can be extracted and used to query the correct database. This query routing mechanism allows navigation from one shard to another when multiple items are in a relationship (e.g., share the same resource such as a document). As such, embodiments can eliminate the need for APIs to join in data that span multiple shards.
