Abstract
A system and a method for provisioning of Information Technology (IT) services to a plurality of computers is provided. The system includes a network and transport device and local IT resources. The network and transport device has internet connectivity via a controlled switching interface. One or more of the computers are coupled to the network and transport device via the controlled switching interface. The local IT resources are also coupled to the one or more computers and include data storage and processing capability for providing IT services to the computers including server-based applications for utilization and operation by the computers. In addition, the local IT resources include a network and transport virtual machine generated as a virtual machine equivalent of the network and transport device and coupled to the controlled switching interface of the network and transport device for communication with the network and transport device.

9. A method for initialization of Information Technology (IT) services in a system for provision of IT services including local IT resources and remote IT resources coupled together in a cloud computing environment, the method comprising:
-
coupling one or more computers in a local network to a network and transport device including a controlled switching interface providing interne connectivity; coupling the network and transport device to the local IT resources for provision of the IT services to the one or more computers; and autoprovisioning the remote IT resources by configuring the remote IT resources in response to current network set parameters forwarded to the remote IT resources by a virtual machine controller. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for recovery of Information Technology (IT) services in a cloud computing environment enabled system for provision of the IT services to one or more computers, the system including local IT resources and remote IT services coupled together across the cloud computing environment, the method including:
-
a network and transport device monitoring the operation of a network and transport virtual machine enabled in the local IT resources; the network and transport device determining failure of the local IT resources in response to the operation of the network and transport virtual machine; and the network and transport device changing an interne protocol (IP) configuration of the one or more computers, thereby rerouting the one or more computers to couple to the remote IT services for recovery of the IT services provided thereto. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
