Prioritzed branch computing system

摘要

A branch device that may be operable to: request to initiate access to a cloud computing application; map or link service level agreement information associated with the cloud computing application to performance and uptime specifications associated with a policy engine; and communicate with a first computational node that runs a first instance of the cloud computing application. Also, the branch device may be operable to: compare the performance data and the uptime data retrieved from the first computational node against the specifications, respectively; direct a request to the first instance, where the performance data and the uptime data at least satisfies the specifications, respectively; and direct a request to a second instance of the cloud computing application running on a second computational node, where the performance data and the uptime data do not satisfy the specifications, respectively.

1. A method, comprising:
comparing, by a branch router, performance data and uptime data associated with a first computational node running a first instance of a cloud computing application against performance specifications and uptime specifications associated with a policy engine, the first computational node including a remote server; receiving, by the branch router, a request to access the cloud computing application from a client device, the request from the client device received over a local area network; directing, by the branch router, the request from the client device over a wide area network to the first instance of the cloud computing application, due to the performance data and the uptime data at least meeting the performance specifications and the uptime specifications; and directing, by the branch router, the request from the client device to a second instance of the cloud computing application stored and running on a second computational node included with the branch router, due to the performance data and the uptime data not at least meeting the performance specifications and the uptime specifications.
