An Information Technology (IT) system display method and computer program product. A description is provided of a configuration of devices, network segments, and vertical connectors relating to an IT structure. The devices are initially distributed to form a distribution of the devices in a matrix representing a display screen. A defined goal value of the configuration is a function of a length and weight of each network segment, a length and weight of each vertical connector, and a penalty for each crossing of a device by a network segment. An overlay pattern of the network segments and the vertical connectors overlayed on the matrix is displayed in accordance with the description and the final distribution of the devices in the matrix. The goal value for the final distribution is lower than for the initial distribution. The final distribution is displayed on the display screen together with the overlay pattern.

A computer-implemented method for optimizing an aspect of an Information Technology (IT) structure of an IT system, the aspect of the IT structure is optimized with respect to at least one control parameter. The IT structure includes a plurality of elements. Each element independently is a hardware element, a software element, or a combination of a hardware element and a software element. Each control parameter has a value that is specific to each element of the IT structure.

A method and system for predicting a user activity level associated with an application. An activity level is a number of transactions performed by users utilizing the application per time period or a number of users utilizing the application per time period. Measurements of activity levels are assigned to a user activity metric (UAM) variable, and associated values are assigned to a set of factors. At least one correlation coefficient between each factor and the UAM is calculated. In response to a maximum correlation coefficient associated with a factor being less than a pre-defined threshold, the factor is excluded from the set of factors to facilitate forming a subset of factors associated with correlation coefficients whose absolute values are greater than or equal to the pre-defined threshold. A regression model utilizing the subset is generated to predict an activity level.

Method, system, and product for authenticating database connections between a database server box having a database server and a database gateway; and an application server box having an application server and a connection authenticator. The application server and the connection authenticator are connected to the database server over an IP network. A TCP connection is established from the database gateway to the connection authenticator. The authenticator authenticates the application server and permits routing database requests and responses to and from the database server.

A system and method for facilitating identification of an attacking computer in a network is provided. A user attempting to login to a network application may be presented with a screen prior to the login which lists preconditions of gaining access to the application. If a user concurs with the preconditions, a security module is downloaded to the user's computer and executed which gathers various configuration settings and transmits the gathered information to a predetermined destination. The security module may also attempt to place a call to a predetermined destination over a modem in the computer to cause registration of caller-ID data when answered at the predetermined destination. Once the security check is completed, login may proceed with the network application. Any data gathered by the security module may be stored for later recall and use to identify the computer in the event of an attack.

A method and associated computer program product for developing an Information Technology (IT) system. An abstract IT structure for the IT system is provided. A virtual IT structure for the IT system is generated from the abstract IT structure by a translator. A real IT structure for the IT system is generated from the virtual IT structure.

The present invention is directed to a method, system, and computer program product for providing local load balancing for high-availability servers. In particular, the present invention is based on the use of an HACMP cluster of servers (for high availability) each running an instance of a TCP splitter (for load balancing). A cluster of servers is provided, wherein a Transport Control Protocol (TCP) splitter runs on each of the servers. Each TCP splitter is configured to split an incoming data stream to a respective server among a plurality of the servers for processing. Each server in the cluster has a different routable Internet Protocol (IP) address. Upon a failure of a server, the IP address of the failed server is reassigned to another server in the cluster.

A method and system for optimally scheduling a web conference managed by a web application. Date and time ranges are initialized with predefined values. A tentative start date included in the date range and a tentative start time included in the time range are automatically calculated, and are included in a tentative schedule for the web conference. A time period is determined by the tentative schedule and a duration of the web conference. The automatic calculation prevents the time period from overlapping a time interval during which processors utilized by the web application are to experience a peak load. The tentative schedule is presented to the user via the interface, and is recalculated and redisplayed in response to the user updating a load-related parameter. The user selects a final schedule, which is the tentative schedule or a user-specified schedule different from the tentative schedule.

Method and system for verifying correctness of networking aspects of an Information Technology (IT) system that includes a host network of hosts. The hosts include servers and firewalls. A firewall connectivity indication of whether the host network includes an isolated firewall or a cross-zone connected firewall is determined. Determining for each host whether the host is isolated from a communication network to which the IT system is connected determines whether isolated network segments exit within the host network. For each host determined to be isolated from the communication network, the method identifies all network segments of the host network to which each host is connected, determines the unique network segments of the identified network segments, and designates the unique network segments as a set of isolated network segments. The firewall connectivity indication and the set of isolated network segments are stored in a storage medium of a computer system.
