摘要:
A system and method for scalable status change detection in a network of nodes includes embedding node coordinate positions into a virtual map environment. A cluster of nodes are represented with a representative node to form a hierarchy of nodes and clusters where changes in a status of the representative node imply a status change in the nodes of the cluster. By selectively monitoring the representative nodes for the changes in status, the representative nodes create a capability for scalable monitoring of the network.

Managing application performance on a network. A network graph is generated from a set of application endpoints on the network. The network graph is annotated by associating one or more of the application endpoints with at least one of a corresponding latency annotation or a corresponding available bandwidth annotation. An end to end plan is formulated from the annotated network graph, wherein the plan maps one or more application requirements onto the plurality of paths in accordance with one or more end to end control adjustments including at least one of a server selection adjustment, an internet service provider (ISP) selector, or an overlay routing adjustment.

A method is provided. The method includes the steps of: generating a model of an information technology process, wherein the process comprises a plurality of process steps and wherein the model identifies resources associated with the process; identifying dependencies on the resources for at least one process step of the plurality of process steps; perturbing the model; assessing an impact of the perturbation on the model; and reducing the impact of the perturbation on the model by utilizing at least one remedial action.

A method (and system) for managing a distributed-memory parallel application running on multiple servers, includes dynamically moving a plurality of executable program components, where each of the plurality of executable program components are running on one of a plurality of virtual machines, using migration of the virtual machines between physical servers. The load balancing is operated based on a workload of each of the virtual machines and servers, where a virtual machine, or a plurality of virtual machines, are transferred to balance the workload between each of the servers.

The use of multi-homing to multiple network providers to improve performance of network applications is disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a general purpose computer performs primary route control functions, without requiring a special route control device. Route selection is made in accordance with desired metrics which may include relevant to performance, availability, or cost.

A computer implemented method of virtual machine migration with filtered network connectivity includes enforcing network security and routing at a hypervisor layer which is independent of guest operating systems via dynamic updating of routing controls initiated by a migration of said virtual machine from a first device to a second device.
摘要:
Method, apparatus and computer program product are configured to perform computer monitoring activities; to collect information regarding computer system status during the computer monitoring activities; to detect a problem in dependence on the information collected during the computer monitoring activities; and to determine whether to launch a diagnostic probe when the problem is detected. The monitoring activities may be performed on a periodic or event-driven basis. The determination whether to launch a diagnostic probe is based on a rule included in a hierarchy of rules. The hierarchy of rules is based on problem tickets; system logs; and computer system configuration information.

摘要:
Problem ticket usage is improved by adding dynamic information to the ticket or using dynamic information to prompt the user or customer for additional information. Two categories of dynamic information are used. In the case where an initial problem ticket involves identification of a problem component the dynamic information is derived from abnormal status of related components, such as components which support the problem component. In the case where an initial problem ticket involves problem symptom information, data is derived from resolved problem tickets by identifying important words or concepts which are stored in connection with the particular symptom. When later problem tickets having the same symptom are identified the related important words or concepts are either added to the problem ticket or are used to prompt customers or users for additional information. A system implementing an embodiment of the invention is also described.
摘要:
Techniques for creating a nomenclature to represent one or more groups within a process are provided. The techniques include obtaining a process, wherein the process comprises one or more groups, and creating a nomenclature to represent the one or more groups, wherein the nomenclature facilitates usability of the process in at least one of an operation and design environment. Techniques are also provided for generating a database of one or more processes, wherein each process is represented by a nomenclature.
