摘要： A system and method for improved communication notification forwarding on a network. An instant messaging (IM) server program receives at least one communication notification from a first client among a collection of clients on a network, wherein the at least one communication notification is targeted to a second client among the collection of clients. A notification manager compares a current network performance level to a predetermined threshold. In response to said comparing the current network performance level to the predetermined threshold, the notification manager parses a first list to determine if a first user indicator associated with said first client is present on the first list, wherein the first list indicates a first collection of user indicators of clients from which communication notifications are to be forwarded as high priority communication notifications. If the user indicator associated with the first client is present on the first list, the IM server program forwards the at least one communication notification as a high priority communication notification to said second client.

摘要： A method, system and apparatus for server failure diagnosis and self-healing in a server farm. An autonomic server farm which has been configured in accordance with the inventive arrangements can include a multiplicity of servers enabled to respond to requests received from clients which are external to the server farm. A resource director such as an IP sprayer or a network dispatcher can be configured to route requests to selected ones of the servers, in accordance with resource allocation algorithms such as random, round-robin and least recently used. Significantly, unlike conventional server farms whose management of failure diagnosis and self-healing relies exclusively upon the capabilities of the resource director, in the present invention, client-assisted failure detection logic can be coupled to the resource director so as to provide client-assisted management of failure diagnosis and self-healing.

摘要： A method and system for processing Service Level Agreement (SLA) terms in a caching component in a storage system. The method can include monitoring cache performance for groups of data in the cache, each the group having a corresponding SLA. Overfunded SLAs can be identified according to the monitored cache performance. In consequence, an entry can be evicted from among one of the groups which correspond to an identified one of the overfunded SLAs. In one aspect of the present invention, the most overfunded SLA can be identified, and an entry can be evicted from among the group which corresponds to the most overfunded SLA.

摘要： Methods, systems, computer program products, and methods of doing business for improving communication, whereby message content is routed efficiently while allowing different recipients to receive different versions of the content. A portion of the electronic conversation in an instant messaging session (or of messages in other messaging systems) can be identified as being relevant to a third party (or parties), and information can be specified for routing the relevant information to that third party. A variety of delivery mechanisms may be used. Approval may be obtained prior to routing an annotated message. The recipients of annotated message may be human users and/or automated processes. The message author may also be a human or an automated process.

摘要： A method for the autonomic management of autonomic systems can include monitoring a managed system and recommending a course of action to be performed in the managed system. It can be determined whether the recommended course of action has been performed by an administrator. Responsive to the determination, it further can be determined whether an outcome from the course of action comports with a predicted outcome. If so, a point count can be changed responsive to a further determination that the outcome from the course of action comports with the predicted outcome. Conversely, the point count can be oppositely changed responsive to a further determination that the outcome from the course of action does not comports with the predicted outcome. In any case, when the point count crosses a threshold value, the management of the managed system can be transitioned to an adaptive component.

摘要： A distributed fault detection system and method for diagnosing a storage network fault in a data storage network having plural network access nodes connected to plural logical storage units. When a fault is detected, the node that detects it (designated the primary detecting node) issues a fault information broadcast advising one or more other access nodes (peer nodes) of the fault. The primary detecting node also sends a fault report pertaining to the fault to a fault diagnosis node. When the peer nodes receive the fault information broadcast, they attempt to recreate the fault. Each peer node that successfully recreates the fault (designated a secondary detecting node) sends its own fault report pertaining to said fault to the fault diagnosis node. The fault diagnosis node performs fault diagnosis based on all of the fault reports.

摘要： CDNs and inexpensive and available local (client) storage are combined to increase the efficiency of content delivery and improve the user experience. A large-content element, such as a video file, is stored in segments on one or more servers, allowing clients to make simultaneous requests for segments of the content in parallel. A CDN responds to these requests, optimizing the use of the resources on the CDN nodes. The responses from the CDN are cached during an intermediate process and then delivered, in proper order, to the requesting client. By requesting segments of the content element from multiple locations in parallel rather than requesting a single file containing the entire content element, the burden on the CDN nodes is reduced. Further, since the segments are requested in parallel, cost-of-delivery issues can be factored into the delivery schedule more easily (e.g., bandwidth, time of delivery, whether data is cached), thereby making the delivery process smoother and more economical.

摘要翻译： CDN和廉价可用的本地（客户端）存储被组合以提高内容传送的效率并改善用户体验。 诸如视频文件的大内容元素被存储在一个或多个服务器上的段中，允许客户机并行地对段的内容进行同时请求。 CDN响应这些请求，优化CDN节点上资源的使用。 来自CDN的响应在中间过程中缓存，然后以适当的顺序发送给请求客户端。 通过并行地从多个位置请求片段的内容元素，而不是请求包含整个内容元素的单个文件，减少了CDN节点的负担。 此外，由于并行请求段，因此可以更容易地将交付成本问题（例如，带宽，传送时间，数据是否被缓存）等因素交付到传送计划中，从而使传送过程更平滑和更经济。

摘要： A method, system, and computer program for managing network connectivity between a plurality of nodes and a network resource. The network resource includes a primary path to the nodes and at least one redundant path. A detecting module is configured to determine if the primary path is unavailable to at least one affected node belonging to the plurality of nodes. A switching module is configured to presumptively switch the affected node to the redundant path if the primary path is unavailable. An initiating module configured to initiate a voting procedure among the plurality of nodes to select a new path to the network resource, wherein data flow at the affected node through the redundant path continues during the voting procedure.
