    摘要: A method and apparatus facilitates an enterprise to lease virtual appliances from network services provider. The method operates by deploying a converged networking and computing device at a service location, downloading a virtual machine to the converged networking and computing device, activating the virtual machine by a service in the wide area network, and connecting the virtual machine to a provisioned network path over the wide area network. Different virtual machines can be deployed to different locations. The same virtual machine can be deployed to different locations. Moreover, more than one virtual machine may be deployed to more than one service location.

    摘要: A method for the additive manufacturing of inorganic crystalline materials, including: physically combining a plurality of starting materials that are used to form an inorganic crystalline compound to be used as one or more of a semiconductor, scintillator, laser crystal, and optical filter; heating or melting successive regions of the combined starting materials using a directed heat source having a predetermined energy characteristic, thereby facilitating the reaction of the combined starting materials; and allowing each region of the combined starting materials to cool in a controlled manner, such that the desired inorganic crystalline compound results. The method also includes, prior to heating or melting the successive regions of the combined starting materials using the directed heat source, heating the combined starting materials to facilitate initial reaction of the combined starting materials. The method further includes translating the combined starting materials and/or the directed heat source between successive locations. The method still further includes controlling the mechanical, electrical, photonic, and/or optical properties of the inorganic crystalline compound.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to cloud based mobile device management (MDM) systems and methods to use the “cloud” to pervasively manage mobile devices. The cloud based MDM systems and methods provide an ability to manage mobile devices with or without MDM clients while no requiring an MDM appliance or service at the enterprise. This provides a “no hardware, no software” deployment. In an exemplary embodiment, a client-less implementation leverages the ActiveSync protocol proxied through distributed cloud nodes to enforce mobile policies. In another exemplary embodiment, a client-based implementation uses a platform specific application and associated application programming interfaces (API) to connect managed mobile devices and provide MDM features through the cloud. Advantageously, the cloud based MDM systems and methods provide reliability and resiliency, elasticity, lower cost, mobility, integration of management and security, and agility over conventional MDM based solutions.
