An Internet infrastructure delivery platform (e.g., operated by a service provider) provides an overlay network (a server infrastructure) that is used to facilitate “second screen” end user media experiences. In this approach, first media content, which is typically either live on-demand, is being rendered on a first content device (e.g., a television, Blu-Ray disk or other source). That first media content may be delivered by servers in the overlay network. One or multiple end user second content devices are then adapted to be associated with the first content source, preferably, via the overlay network, to facilitate second screen end user experiences (on the second content devices).

A cloud desktop system comprises a management end, a cloud server and cloud terminals; the cloud server forms a physical machine for a plurality of virtual machines, and the cloud terminals correspond to the virtual machines on the cloud server. An operating method for the cloud desktop system includes the following steps: users are connected with the cloud server through the cloud terminals, each user corresponds to a different virtual machine, and when the users use the cloud terminals to work, data are actually processed by the cloud server, while the local cloud terminals only assume the work of data transmission and display. Compared with the conventional working mode, the cloud infrastructure can more sufficiently utilize resources, excessive hardware investment on the local end is avoided, the operating cost of work is saved, the pressure of hardware upgrading is avoided, and since the structure of the cloud terminal is relatively simple and the fault rate is low, the cost of later maintenance is further reduced as well.

A method and an information handling system (IHS) dynamically modifies queue depth values based on changing relative workload demands of virtual functions. A controller, executing code of a queue depth profiler, determines, for each virtual function, an average number of total unfulfilled, outstanding requests. The controller compares values for an average number of total outstanding requests across the plurality of virtual functions. The controller determines a relative demand for request queue depth corresponding to each respective virtual function based on the compared values. The controller calculates desired queue depth values for each virtual function, based on the relative demand. The controller triggers completion of pending requests for a first processing state. In response to successful completion of the first processing state, the controller enables initiation of a second processing state in which request processing continues using the desired queue depth values.

Systems and methods are provided for any party in a cloud ecosystem (cloud providers of such resources, the intermediate management software for such resources, and the end user of such resources) to detect and resolve faulty resources synchronously or asynchronously, before said faults adversely affect the users' workloads. The system requests a service or set of one or more resources within a cloud, automatically checking the infrastructure for various faults that would cause it to be non-functional, including pre-defined and user-defined checks, and resolving them before including the infrastructure in the working service cluster of resources. The system presents an API to the user that returns only functional, production-quality resources that are not in a faulty state. An API that tests and resolves bad infrastructure can be registered during the request or a preceding/subsequent API call, removing the need for the end-user to deal with various types of infrastructure faults.

The invention discloses a method and a system for media content transmission based on a CDN (Content Distribution Network) and P2P (Peer to Peer) converged infrastructure, belonging to the field of multimedia communication. The method comprises the steps: a source server uploads stored media contents to all CDN network nodes at first; all CDN network nodes segment received media contents and respectively sign and store the media content segments; the CDN network nodes extract the media content segments from the specific CDN network nodes according a content request of a user terminal and transmit the media content segments after the media content segments are fragmented; and the user terminal splices the received content fragments into a content segment and carries out signature verification on the CDN network nodes and the spliced media content segment through a CA (Certificate Authority) certificate chain. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of guaranteeing the content privacy in a transmission process and data completeness and preventing the contents from artificial manipulation and damage, and meanwhile, a segmented signature manner is favorable for reducing the quantity of fragments to be retransmitted when transmission errors occur, so that flow waste is reduced.
