Systems and methods are described for evaluating disposition of an SSO request. In one example, the method includes receiving the SSO request, the SSO request for accessing a secure service, the request having been denied authorization to access a first service, determining, based upon one or more criteria, where to direct the SSO request, and routing the SSO request to a second service, the routing based on the determining where to direct the SSO request.

Disposition engine for single sign on (SSO) requests

In one embodiment, a method comprises determining, by a network edge device in a first autonomous network, whether a second network edge device in a second autonomous network is authorized to submit a service request to the first autonomous network, the service request associated with one of providing or consuming an identified network-based service; identifying, by the network edge device within the first autonomous network, a third network edge device in a third autonomous network and identified as responsive to the service request for the identified network-based service; and sending instructions for establishing a secure communications between the second network edge device and the third network edge device via a data network distinct from the first, second, or third autonomous networks, for establishment of the identified network service between the second autonomous network and the third autonomous network via the data network.

Virtualized on-demand service delivery between data networks via secure exchange network

A method is provided in one example embodiment executed at a service metering framework (SMF) engine including a processor, and includes interfacing, by an event listener at the SMF engine, with an application being executed in a cloud by a remote client device, detecting a metering event associated with the application during execution of the application, receiving a value of at least one metering attribute associated with the metering event, and storing the at least one metering attribute and the value as a formatted metered record in a SMF database searchable according to the metering attribute. In a specific embodiment, the event listener exposes an application programming interface (API) of the SMF engine to the application to facilitate definitions of the metering event and the at least one metering attribute in the application.

System and method for a service metering framework in a network environment

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes causing generation of a metered record associated with a metering event of an application executed within a cloud-based computing system, the metered record including a metering attribute and a corresponding value, the corresponding value being determined substantially simultaneous to a runtime execution of the application, and facilitating searching for the metered record based on the metering attribute and the corresponding value of the metering attribute. In specific embodiments, the metered record is communicated using a REpresentational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API). In an example embodiment, the notification of the metering event can be received by any one of a REST API, a Java Messaging Service listener, an Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) listener, or a metering plugin.
