    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method to facilitate administration of a virtualization infrastructure, operational conditions of members of the virtualization infrastructure are monitored, wherein the members of the virtualization infrastructure are mapped to a social network such that at least a portion of the members of the virtualization infrastructure are also members of the social network. A group of members of the virtualization infrastructure is created within the social network based at least in part on the operational conditions.

    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method to facilitate administration of a member of a network, performance of a member of a network is monitored by an agent, wherein members of the network are provided with access to a shared message stream such that the members of the network are able to monitor messages generated by other members of the network posted to the shared message stream. Responsive to the agent identifying a specific operational condition of the member, the shared message stream is monitored for a message related to the specific operational condition. Provided the shared message stream comprises a message related to the specific operational condition identified by the agent, an association of the message with an indication that the member identifies with the specific operational condition is established, wherein the agent is configured to establish the association.

    Abstract: A method for symmetric authentication is provided. This method includes generating a first challenge message containing a first string; encrypting the first challenge message; transmitting the encrypted first challenge message to a second device; receiving a first answer message from the second device; decrypting the first answer message; and authenticating the second device based on determining the decrypted first answer message contains the first string. Upon successful authentication of the second device, the method further includes receiving an encrypted second challenge message from the second device; decrypting the encrypted second challenge message; generating a second answer message containing a second string; encrypting the second answer message; and transmitting the encrypted second answer message to the second device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for performing management tasks in a virtual infrastructure are presented. The method includes detecting a decrease, below a predetermined threshold, in a number of tasks waiting to be processed by a plurality of virtual centers (VCs) executing as virtual machines (VMs) in a virtual infrastructure, wherein each of the plurality of VCs is a management VM for the managed objects of the virtual infrastructure. The method further includes, based on the detected decrease in the number of tasks waiting to be processed, selecting one or more VCs of the plurality of VCs to be removed, distributing managed objects handled by the selected one or more VCs to one or more non-selected VCs of the plurality of VCs, and removing the selected one or more VCs.
