Abstract
Manage a request for a computing service through a hub solution available on a network. The underlying network fabric is the communication bus between individual processes that make up a service request. A process orchestrator may publish an Internet Protocol (IP) address for service requests such as printing services, email services, Active Directory (AD) services and similar service requests. The process orchestrator may determine which processes are to be executed to complete the service request and offload the processes to an available computing resources on the network. Examples of computing resources for each process include a virtual machine and a hardware based process engine. The process orchestrator may manage the processes and act as the primary point of interface for an endpoint host requesting the service.
