A system and method of initializing a virtual machine within a secure hybrid cloud is disclosed. One method includes transmitting service mode credentials to a cloud broker from a cloud-based virtual machine, receiving a service mode community of interest key from a credentialing service based on the service mode credentials, and establishing a secure service mode connection based on the service mode community of interest key. The method also includes receiving role VPN credentials at the cloud-based virtual machine and establishing a secure role connection to the cloud broker using the role VPN credentials, thereby providing, in response to the role VPN credentials, a role VPN community of interest key to a virtual data relay dedicated to the cloud-based virtual machine. The method further includes receiving role cloud credentials at the cloud-based virtual machine and establishing secure communications at the cloud-based virtual machine based on the role cloud credentials, including receiving a role cloud community of interest key at the cloud-based virtual machine used for secure communication among the cloud-based virtual machine and other cloud-based virtual machines within a common community of interest with the cloud-based virtual machine.

Remote credential management for hybrid clouds with enterprise networks

A system and method of managing secure integration of a cloud-based computing resource with a private domain are disclosed. One system includes a hybrid cloud arrangement including a plurality of virtual machines, the plurality of virtual machines including at least a first virtual machine within the private domain and a second virtual machine within a public cloud. The system also includes a virtual data relay within the private domain and associated with the second virtual machine. The virtual data relay includes a private domain interface used to establish a secure communication link according to a first security protocol with each virtual machine within the private domain that is a member of a community of interest, the virtual data relay assigned a community of interest key used by the private domain interface and defining the community of interest of which the second virtual machine is a member. The virtual data relay also includes a public cloud interface used to establish a secure communication link with the second virtual machine, the public cloud interface using a second security protocol different from the first security protocol.

Secure integration of hybrid clouds with enterprise networks

In an Automatic Fault Management System which monitors components on multiple platforms and workstations, an Electronic Service Generator operates to sense error events and selects an appropriate Formatter unit to develop a report packet for a Remote Service Unit.

Electronic service request generator for automatic fault management system

An automatic fault management system can monitor multiple platforms in a digital network to sense software and hardware malfunctions. An Event Log stores the details of each malfunction and enables an electronic service requester generator to develop formatted packets of information for transmittal to a remote service center. Administrative and monitor screens are made available to control and view each packet sent out and its status of receipt and return acknowledgment data.
