Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for utilizing geographical location information to manage applications in a computer network system

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for utilizing geographical location information to manage applications in a computer network system are disclosed. According to one example, a method includes receiving, by a global positioning system (GPS) service entity, a request for geographical location information associated with an infrastructure enclosure device from a location request entity, wherein the location request entity is hosted by the infrastructure enclosure device. The method further includes acquiring, by the GPS service entity, the geographical location information from a location enablement device included in the infrastructure enclosure device and sending, by the GPS service module, the acquired geographical location information to the location request entity, wherein the location request entity enforces a policy based on the acquired geographical location information.

1. A method for utilizing geographical location information to manage applications in a computer network system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a global positioning system (GPS) service entity, a request for geographical location information associated with an infrastructure enclosure device from a location request entity, wherein the location request entity is hosted by the infrastructure enclosure device and includes a geographical restriction parameter that defines at least one selected from a group consisting of a permissible geographical location in which the location requesting entity may be stored and an impermissible geographical location in which the location requesting entity may not be stored; acquiring, by the GPS service entity, the geographical location information from a location enablement device included in the infrastructure enclosure device; and sending, by the GPS service entity, the acquired geographical location information to the location request entity, wherein the location request entity enforces a policy based on the acquired geographical location information.
