Abstract
A cloud computing system for determining Over-The-Top (OTT) applications includes a cloud computing environment partitioned into a plurality of partitions. The cloud partitions include at least a first wireless network operator's cloud, a second wireless network operator's cloud and a shared partition configured to receive and store information uniquely identifying OTT applications supported by at least one of the first and second wireless network operators. The system further includes a plurality of active agents. Each active agent receives a list of OTT service platforms supported by a corresponding wireless network operator. The received list includes a plurality of URLs associated with various applications that are delivered by the OTT service platforms. The active agent(s) connect to the plurality of URLs to determine information uniquely identifying each of the OTT applications and to store the information in the shared partition of the cloud computing environment.
