Abstract: A system and method of providing virtualized connectivity in a cloud services environment. A service provider network defines at least a first virtual private network and a second virtual private network for a respective first customer network and a second customer network. The service provider network includes at least one physical connection with a cloud services provider network where the at least one physical connection includes a first private virtual connection between the first virtual private network and the cloud services provider and a second private virtual connection between the second virtual private network and the cloud services provider.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for monitoring optical communications between a managed location and a remote location. In particular, an optical signal is transmitted over an optical fiber and passed-through a test device. A portion of the optical signal is filtered from the original optical signal and passed to a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may instruct one or more switches in the test device to loop the optical signal back toward the managed location. Subsequently, testing and monitoring may be performed at the managed location. The device may provide a test output or may transmit the information to the managed location.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for data center redundancy in relation to a computer network. In particular, the present disclosure provides for one or more available redundant data centers, or bunkers, associated with a computer network. In one embodiment, the bunker data centers are configured to absorb traffic intended for an application operating on a data center when the traffic threatens to overwhelm the application. For example, during a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack, the bunker data centers are configured to absorb some of the traffic from the DDOS attack to prevent the application that is the target of the attack from being overwhelmed.
Abstract translation: 本公开的方面涉及与计算机网络相关的数据中心冗余的系统,方法,计算机程序产品等。 特别地,本公开提供了与计算机网络相关联的一个或多个可用冗余数据中心或掩体。 在一个实施例中,当交通量威胁到压倒应用时,掩体数据中心被配置为吸收预期用于在数据中心上运行的应用的流量。 例如,在分布式拒绝服务(DDOS)攻击期间,掩体数据中心被配置为吸收来自DDOS攻击的一些流量,以防止作为攻击目标的应用程序被淹没。
