International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

713155

Abstract:

A system and method to perform an out-of-band authenticated authorization of an activity. A requesting system initiates an authorization request for an activity which is signed using a key pair managed by a transaction server. The authorization request is asymmetrically encrypted for the intended authorizing system and is communicated to the server and stored. The authorizing system receives notification of the request and communicates with the transaction server to retrieve the request, decrypt it and verify the signature. The authorizing system interprets the request and generates an authorization response which is signed and encrypted such that only the requesting system can decrypt it. The response is communicated back to the transaction server which notifies the requesting system. The requesting system communicates with the server to retrieve the response, decrypt it, verify the signature and interpret the response to take action on the activity that initiated the request.

Abstract:

Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the rack. In one method, a client device of a user is used to select various network service options. The service options correspond to services that can be provided to computing equipment of the user that is mounted in various racks of the data center. In response to receiving the selection of one or more service options, the network fabric of the data center is configured to connect the computing equipment to the selected services. In one approach, the network fabric is configured by creating and/or configuring one or more virtual networks to provide the connection to the services.

Abstract:

Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a respective rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the respective rack. A request is received, from a client device via a portal of the data center, to provide IP connectivity to one or more computing devices mounted in a rack. IP addresses are assigned that correspond to the IP connectivity. A virtual network is created in a network fabric of the data center. The created virtual network is associated with the assigned IP addresses. One or more of the TOR switches are configured to connect one or more ports of each respective TOR switch to the created virtual network.

Abstract:

Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the rack. In one method, a TOR switch is mounted in a rack. The TOR switch is connected to a network fabric of a data center. A lock is used to control physical access to the rack. A request to physically access the rack is received from a computing device (e.g., a badge implementing a security token, or a mobile device). The request includes authentication credentials. The computing device is then authenticated. In response to authenticating the computing device, the lock is configured to provide physical access to the rack.
