    摘要: A method includes running servers to provide computer services to client devices and storing a hardware profile for each of a plurality of server models, wherein each hardware profile identifies hardware components that should be enabled to implement the server model on one of the servers. A request is received from a client device to provide computer services on one or more of the servers using a selected server model and applying the hardware profile for the selected server model to configure the hardware components of the one or more of the servers to use the identified hardware components without manually reconfiguring the one or more of the servers. Still further, the method includes providing computer services to the client device using the one or more of the servers that has been configured using the hardware profile for the selected server model.

    摘要: A method and computer program product for causing a processor to perform the method are provided. The method includes monitoring a plurality of operating parameters for each of multiple components of a compute node, wherein the multiple components have the same component type, and determining a stress factor score for each of the multiple components, wherein the stress factor score is a function of the plurality of operating parameters. The method further includes reducing use of a first component from among the multiple components, wherein the first component has a stress factor score that is greater than the stress factor score for any of the other components of the same component type. Optionally, the method may prioritize use of each of the multiple components in an order of ascending stress factor score.

    摘要: Providing access to a restricted resource via a persistent authenticated device network, including: authenticating a user; joining a persistent authenticated device network; iteratively, upon the expiration of a predetermined period of time, determining whether the user remains authenticated; responsive to determining that the user remains authenticated, determining whether a downstream computing device in the persistent authenticated device network is attempting to access a restricted resource; and responsive to determining that the downstream computing device in the persistent authenticated device network is attempting to access a restricted resource, providing user authentication information to the downstream computing device.
