Systems, methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are disclosed for regulating access of consumers (e.g., applications, containers, or VMs) to resources and services (e.g., storage). In one embodiment, this regulation occurs through the movement of consumers between different providers of a resource or service, such as a cloud service provider. Moving consumers includes, for example, determining the cost of moving the consumer from a first provider to a second provider. According to various embodiments, the cost of moving the consumer is compared to cost and performance criteria associated with moving the consumer from the first provider to the second provider. Cloud-based services may be priced as templates, reserved instances, or a combination.

Systems, apparatus and methods for cost and performance-based management of resources in a cloud environment

Various approaches for managing computational resources in a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) cluster include identifying the hosts associated with the HCI cluster for providing one or more computational resources thereto; for each of the hosts, determining a revenue and/or an expense for allocating the computational resource(s) to the HCI cluster; and determining whether to clone, suspend or terminate each host in the HCI cluster based at least in part on the associated revenue and/or expense.

Systems and methods for managing resources in a hyperconverged infrastructure cluster

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, are disclosed for managing resources, such as computer software licenses, in container systems, including multi-cloud systems. The use of supply chain economics alone and in combination with other techniques offers a unified platform to integrate, optimize or improve, and automate resource management in a container system. These techniques may be used to monitor and control the delivery of service level agreements and software licenses. They may also be used to monitor and control contention of computing resources in a container system, and to suspend or terminate computing resources.

Systems, apparatus and methods for management of computer-based software licenses

Systems, apparatus and methods are disclosed which are directed to computer program products for automatically understanding and addressing the QoS adherence of a workload in a computer network. The use of pricing can be used to provide QoS adherence for any type of demand or service. The disclosed methodologies can be applied to applications, to virtual machines, to storage, and/or other types of workload, demand or service that is achieved through the use of shared resources.
