Abstract
In examples, systems and methods are described for edge computing recommendations and implementation. A service request is received from a client computing device that includes information about a location of a customer site and latency requirements of the customer, among other information. The system provides recommendations for particular provider computing site(s) based on, e.g., rough and/or fine latency estimates, and implements the requested computing services at selected provider computing site(s).
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving customer information in a service request, wherein the customer information includes at least a desired computing service and customer location data for a customer site;
- determining provider location data for a plurality of provider computing sites;
- determining a rough estimate of latency for each of the plurality of provider computing sites based on the customer location data and the provider location data;
- providing a list of the provider computing sites based on the rough estimate of latency for each of the provider computing sites;
- receiving a selection of one of the provider computing sites;
- and
- providing the computing service to the customer site from the selected provider computing site.
4 more elements
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving customer information in a service request, wherein the customer information includes at least a desired computing service and customer location data for a customer site;
- determining provider location data for a plurality of provider computing sites;
- determining a rough estimate of latency for each of the plurality of provider computing sites based on the customer location data and the provider location data;
- providing a list of the provider computing sites based on the rough estimate of latency for each of the provider computing sites;
- receiving a selection of one of the provider computing sites;
- and
- providing the computing service to the customer site from the selected provider computing site.
6 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving customer information in a service request, wherein the customer information includes at least a latency requirement, a desired computing service, and customer location data for a customer site;
- determining, based on the latency requirement, a service radius;
- determining provider location data for a plurality of provider computing sites;
- determining whether each of the plurality of provider computing sites is within the service radius of the customer site based on the customer location data and the provider location data;
- providing a list of the provider computing sites that are within the service radius of the customer site;
- receiving a selection of one of the provider computing sites from the list;
- and
- providing the computing service to the customer site from the selected provider computing site.
