摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for generating a customized catalog for an entity or organization. Items from a base catalog are presented to a user located at a remote data processing system. One or more items are selected by a user through a process of “meta-shopping”. The selected items are placed in a set, also referred to as a “meta-shopping cart”, used to generate the customized catalog. Terms for purchasing items in the customized catalog are associated with the customized catalog. Further, a protocol for purchasing items from the customized catalog may be established, and the customized catalog is then placed on a Web site.

摘要： The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for deploying a set of virtual software resource templates to a plurality of nodes. The process identifies a set of virtual machine images and metadata to form a set of virtual software resource templates. The process creates a model that indicates a performance metric based on a number of nodes on which a number of virtual machine images is deployed. The process receives a quality of service requirement. The process determines, using the model, a sufficient number of virtual software resource templates in the set of virtual software resource templates and a sufficient number of nodes in the plurality of nodes to fulfill the quality of service requirement. The process deploys the sufficient number of virtual software resource templates on the sufficient number of nodes using the metadata.

摘要： In a client-server environment having a server group including one or more participating servers and one or more controller servers, where each participating server can communicate with at least one controller server, a method for coordinating actions among the servers in the server group comprising the steps of: (1) communicating between a client and at least one of the servers in the server group using a protocol that has limited or no defined procedures for passing state information between the client and the servers; (2) transmitting a request for an action from the client to one of the servers; and (3) communicating among a plurality of servers with at least one controller server coordinating actions of at least some of the servers in response to the request. A preferred embodiment of the method includes providing client identification information once by the client during a conversation, verifying the client identification information by one or more controller servers, generating client authentication information by one or more controller servers that is preserved in the conversation, and using the preserved client authentication information to automatically authenticate the client during the remainder of the conversation. Another preferred embodiment of the method includes transmitting a request by a client requiring participation by a plurality of servers and communicating among the servers with at least one controller server coordinating the actions of a plurality of servers in response to the request from the client.

摘要： A clustered computer system includes a shared data storage system, preferably a virtual shared disk (VSD) memory system, to which the computers in the cluster write data and from which the computers read data, using data access requests. The data access requests can be associated with deadlines, and individual storage devices in the shared storage system satisfy competing requests based on the deadlines of the requests. The deadlines can be updated and requests can be killed, to facilitate real time data access for, e.g., multimedia applications such as video on demand.

摘要： A system and method for dynamically determining whether a client computer or a web site server computer is to process web site database data to render a data structure, such as a web page, in response to a request from the client computer. The request from the client computer implicitly or explicitly indicates the processing capability of the client computer, and if the client's processing capability is sufficient to render the web site data into a web page in fulfillment of the request, and the web server usage is high and server policy permits it, the unprocessed data and necessary classes of processing code are downloaded to the client computer, which then processes the data to render the requested web page. Otherwise, the server computer processes the data and returns the web page to the client computer.

摘要： Requests for objects are received from one or more clients in a system comprised of a plurality of nodes. One of the requests is sent from one of the clients. The request is received from a first node of said plurality of nodes by a second node of said plurality of nodes. A requested object is returned from the second node of the plurality of nodes using one of a plurality of protocols. The method may be applied to a scalable and highly available cache array. The cache array may enhance the performance and throughput of Web servers connected to a network such as the Internet. A network dispatcher may send requests to a cache node of a cache array. The cache node selected by the network dispatcher may either serve the request, handoff the request to another cache node of a cache array, or communicate via one of a variety of protocols with another cache node of the cache array to cooperatively serve the request. A network dispatcher, operating in a special mode, may also function as a content based router. Thus, it is also possible for a network dispatcher to route requests using a combination of content-based and non-content-based routing in order to further improve system performance.

摘要： A method and system are provided for partitioning a database and for balancing the processing load among processing nodes in a data processing system. A database partition is stored at each node and a logical owner node is assigned to each partition. The logical owner becomes responsible for all database requests related to the corresponding partition. Techniques for optimally assigning logical owners to all partitions in a system are provided and are responsive to parameters such as the load at each node, the combined load of the system, and the total number of assignments allowed. Techniques are also provided to accomplish the transfer of partition ownership between processing nodes when multiple transactions related to the partition are simultaneously occurring.
