摘要： The invention enables server administrators (SAs) to improve their productivity and performance. With the methods and systems described herein, the prior art needed to search for appropriate tools for appropriate tasks is minimized and/or eliminated. Easier scripting and automation that does not require implementation across tools is provided. A consistent logical place is provided for all resources to be used. Standardization of tools enables improvements in service quality. Tools may be provided using one unambiguous authoritative data model, which eliminates data inconsistencies between sources. With the invention, updates to service delivery clients may be delivered more quickly. The invention also reduces costs for developing, deploying, and maintaining a tightly integrated service delivery client. Integration may be provided from the bottom up rather than after the fact. With the invention, common base objects are provided for events, problem and change records, and other system administration artifacts.

摘要： An adaptive throttling system for minimizing the impact of non-production work on production work in a computer system is provided. The adaptive throttling system throttles production work and non-production work to optimize production. The adaptive throttling system allows system administrators to specify a quantified limit on the performance impact of non-production or utility work on production work. The throttling rate of the utility is then automatically determined by a supervisory agent, so that the utilities' impact is kept within the specified limit. The adaptive throttling system adapts dynamically to changes in workloads so as to ensure that valuable system resources are well utilized and utility work is not delayed unnecessarily.

摘要： Automated or autonomic techniques for managing deployment of one or more resources in a computing environment based on varying workload levels. The automated techniques may comprise predicting a future workload level based on data associated with the computing environment. Then, an estimation is performed to determine whether a current resource deployment is insufficient, sufficient, or overly sufficient to satisfy the future workload level. Then, one or more actions are caused to be taken when the current resource deployment is estimated to be insufficient or overly sufficient to satisfy the future workload level. Actions may comprise resource provisioning, resource tuning and/or admission control.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided for optimizing the performance and/or allocation of constrained resources in a dynamic computing environment using adaptive regulatory control methods. For example, systems and methods for providing constrained optimization in a dynamic computing system implement model-based adaptive (self-tuning) regulatory control schemes that are designed to handle the system dynamics and which take into consideration control costs (such as the overheads of changing resource allocations and performance degradation due to transient load imbalances) to find an optimal solution. To facilitate practical application, a dual control architecture is disclosed which combines a heuristic fixed step control process that is implemented when there is no valid system model for model-based control. A system model is continually obtained and validated during run-time to adapt control parameters to variations in system dynamics.

摘要： Apparata, articles and methods for discovering partially periodic temporal associations, referred to herein as p-patterns, are provided. For example, a p-pattern in computer networks might comprise five repetitions every 30 seconds of a port-down event followed by a port-up event, which in turn is followed by a random gap until the next five repetitions of these events. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises: (i) a normalization step to convert application-oriented event data into an application-independent normalized table; (ii) an algorithm for finding significant period lengths from normalized events (e.g., 30 seconds) using a Chi-squared test; and (iii) an algorithm for finding a partially periodic temporal association (e.g., port-down followed by port-up) given a known period.

摘要： Techniques for mining or discovering one or more patterns in an input data set, wherein the input data set is characterized by attributes, comprises the following steps. First, the technique includes mapping attributes of the input data set to mapping values. Then, one or more candidate patterns are formed as groupings of two mapping values that occur within a predefined time period. Next, for each of the one or more candidate patterns, a qualification function is computed and a result of the qualification function is compared with at least one predefined threshold value. The one or more candidate patterns whose qualification function results are greater than or equal to the predefined threshold value are identified as one or more qualified patterns.
