    摘要: Provided is an approach for credit transaction authorization/approval. Specifically, a particular transaction payment device/mechanism (e.g., credit card, etc.) may be associated with a set of purchase authorization criteria/rules that sets forth specific conditions (e.g., an authorization protocol) under which the transaction payment device may be utilized. When a user later attempts to conduct a proposed credit transaction using the transaction payment device, it will be determined whether the proposed credit transaction complies with this set of purchase authorization criteria (e.g., the authorization protocol). Based on this determination, the proposed credit transaction can be approved or declined.

    摘要: A method, digital video display and digital video recording (DVR) device/system and computer program provide a mechanism for controlling an amount of differing types of media viewed by users. A number of time quotas are set for various media types and/or programs and viewing or recording of video media is monitored to determine whether any of the quotas has been exceeded. If a quota is exceeded, the viewing or recording can be immediately halted, or a warning or alert can be issued. If an absolute limit is exceeded after an alert is issue, further viewing or recording can be halted.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the migration of virtual machines (VMs) between networked computing environments (e.g., cloud computing environments) based on resource utilization. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an approach to select an optimal set (one or more) of VMs as candidates for pre-staged migration. In a typical embodiment, when a first cloud environment nears physical resource capacity, an optimal set of VMs will be identified for migration to a second cloud environment that has sufficient capacity to accommodate workload(s) from the first cloud environment. To make this process more efficient, data associated with the set of virtual machines may be “pre-stage” replicated from the first cloud environment to the second cloud environment (e.g., in advance of the migration of the identified set of VMs).

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for dynamically expanding cloud capacity (e.g., computing resources), based on infrastructure needs. In a typical embodiment, an available capacity of a set (e.g., at least one) of computing resources in the networked computing environment will be determined. Then, a future capacity needed for processing a set of workloads in the networked computing environment will be forecasted. Such a forecast can be made based on multiple factors/approaches. For example, the forecast can be made based upon at least one of the following: an average consumption of the set of computing resources over a predetermined period of time, a periodic estimation of consumption of the set of computing resources, a scheduled consumption of the set of computing resources, and/or a potential capacity of the set of computing resources. In general, the scheduled consumption can be determined based on at least one resource consumption schedule stored in a computer data structure, while the potential capacity can be determined based upon a set of application events associated with the set of workloads. Regardless of the approach utilized, once the future capacity has been forecasted, it will be determined whether the future capacity exceeds the available capacity. If so, the available capacity of the set of computing resources will be expanded (e.g., hardware and/or software elements will be added to the networked computing infrastructure and/or made available) until the available capacity at least meets the future capacity.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the release of computing infrastructure components (e.g., hardware, software, combinations thereof, etc.) from a networked computing environment for potential use by another networked computing environment. In a typical embodiment, a computing infrastructure component is identified from set of computing infrastructure components associated with a networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether the computing infrastructure component can be released from the networked computing environment. Then, responsive to the determination, the computing infrastructure component may be released from the networked computing environment.

    摘要: Television viewers want to watch previously broadcast videos for a number of reasons. For example, a viewer may have missed one or more episodes of his or her favorite series. As another example, a viewer may have mistaken the broadcast date of a show. Functionality can be implemented in a video recording device to submit rebroadcast requests for previously broadcast videos to a content provider. The content provider can use the rebroadcast requests to determine popularity of the previously broadcast video and dynamically schedule rebroadcasts of the most popular videos. The rebroadcast requests represent intended viewership of the video and can be leveraged by the content provider when assigning advertisement rates for the rebroadcast.
