摘要： A method, system, computer program product, and computer program storage device for transforming a high-level policy associated with a high layer to a low-level policy associated with a low layer. Mapping between high-level objects in a high layer and low-level objects in a low layer is derived by an automated discovery tool. The high-level policy is mapped to the low-level policy according to the mapping (e.g., by substituting the high-level objects with the low-level objects and by performing a syntax transformation). In one embodiment, a low-level policy is transformed to a high-level policy according to the mapping. As exemplary embodiments, policy transformations in traffic shaping and data retention are disclosed.

摘要： Methods for allocation of storage resources, performance monitoring, and reallocation of resources to eliminate hot spots, by specifying high-level goals, rather than by means of low-level manual steps. Policies are specified as administrator specified constraints under which the resources are managed. Goals are specified in terms of performance, availability, and security requirements of the desired storage. As a part of the automation, this invention provides a method for analyzing capabilities of the computer storage system and forming analysis results, which are later used for determining an allocation of resources that will meet the high-level goals specified. This invention also provides methods for automatic monitoring of performance, availability, and security goals for allocated resources. If goals are not met, resources are reallocated so that the goals can be met with the allocation. The invention reduces human involvement, allows policy control, minimizes error, and provides efficient service delivery specified by policies.

摘要： An affinity-based router and method for routing and load balancing in an encapsulated cluster of server nodes is disclosed. The system consists of a multi-node server, wherein any of the server nodes can handle a client request, but wherein clients have affinity to one or more of the server nodes that are preferred to handle a client request. Such affinity is due to state at the servers either due to previous routing requests, or data affinity at the server. At the multi-node server, a node may be designated as a TCP router. The address of the TCP router is given out to clients, and client requests are sent thereto. The TCP router selects one of the nodes in the multi-node server to process the client request, and routes the request to this server; in addition, the TCP router maintains affinity tables, containing affinity records, indicating which node a client was routed to. In processing the client request, the server nodes may determine that another node is better suited to handle the client request, and may reset the corresponding TCP router affinity table entry. The server nodes may also create, modify or delete affinity records in the TCP router affinity table. Subsequent requests from this client are routed to server nodes based on any affinity records, possibly combined on other information (such as load).

摘要： Techniques are described for controlling the climate in a data center. Using the input of an administrator, multiple desired attributes of a data center (e.g., temperature, energy consumption, costs, or system performance) may be balanced using a utility function that maximizes the utility of the computing systems in the data center according to the administrator's preferences. Additionally, a cooling model is generated that represents the affect of a control parameter (e.g., the fan speed of a CRAC) on the desire attributes of the data center. The cooling model may then be substituted into the utility function to replace the desired attributes. Using this new utility function, the control parameters may be varied such that the maximum utility is achieved.
