Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention includes a method for managing media files created by a digital camera. More specifically, a content analyzing module tags a media file with one or more location media tags, event media tags, and/or content media tags. The location media tags are indicative of the geographic location where the media file was created. The event media tags are indicative of an event where the media file was created; and, the content media tags are indicative of individual(s) in the media file. A priority analyzing module connected to the content analyzing module determines a priority of the media file based on priority rules and the location media tags, event media tags, and/or the content media tags. A storage management module connected to the priority analyzing module stores the media file based on the determined priority.
Abstract:
A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for reducing message passing for contention detection in distributed SIP server environments. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to determine that a first site is waiting for a first object locked by a second site. The programming instructions are further operable to determine that a third site is waiting for a second object locked by the first site, and to send a first probe to the second site to determine whether the second site is waiting. A second probe is received and indicates that a site is waiting for an object locked by the first site. The second probe further indicates a deadlock in a distributed server environment to be resolved.
Abstract:
A method includes determining conference data associated with a conference and determining an optimum congestion control technique for a call leg of the conference based on the conference data. The determining the conference data includes obtaining or receiving the conference data from at least one of: a Home Subscriber Service (HSS), a presence server, and a conference object. The conference is a Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) conference
Abstract:
Optimization of tracks on a hard disk includes: determining I/O characteristics for data clusters to be stored on the hard disk; generating a set of solutions for each possible placement configuration; for each solution, calculating a plurality of cost functions using the I/O characteristics for the plurality of data clusters; for each solution, calculating a membership value using the cost function values; for each solution, calculating a fitness value using the membership value; retaining the solutions with the fitness value greater than a predetermined threshold; determining whether at least one stopping condition has been met; if not, adding new solutions to the retained solutions to generate the next set of solutions; and repeating the calculating the membership value, the calculating the fitness value, and the retaining the solutions with the fitness value greater than the predetermined threshold until at least one stopping condition has been met.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for managing storage of data in a cloud by receiving a request, wherein the request includes information to store data within a cloud, environment comprising a plurality of data storages coupled to each other over a network; routing the data to be stored within a specific location of storage within the cloud environment by checking for any regulatory compliance. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A disk recovery system and method is provided for recovering data from a redundant array of independent (or inexpensive) disks. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The computer readable storage medium is operable to: determine input/output (I/O) characteristics of one or more disks in an array; monitor the one or more disks in the array to determine when any of the one or more of the disks have failed in the array; and automatically rebuild the failed disk from a standby pool by nominating a disk in the standby pool based on the I/O characteristics of the one or more failed disks prior to failure.
Abstract:
Substance identification and nullification processes are provided. A process includes identifying a substance on an object, the substance determined to be associated with a health risk. The process also includes identifying a treatment plan for nullifying the substance, the treatment plan prescribing a solution and instructions for nullifying the substance using the solution. The process further includes preparing the solution identified in the treatment plan, and implementing the treatment plan with respect to the object.
Abstract:
Deduplication in a hybrid storage environment includes determining characteristics of a first data set. The first data set is identified as redundant to a second data set and the second data set is stored in a first storage system. The deduplication also includes mapping the characteristics of the first data set to storage preferences, the storage preferences specifying storage system selections for storing data sets based upon attributes of the respective storage systems. The deduplication further includes storing, as a persistent data set, one of the first data set and the second data set in one of the storage systems identified from the mapping.
Abstract:
A method of configuring a data processing system for facilitating network communications involves creating a primary logical partition (LPAR) in the data processing system, the LPAR configured to host a specified operating system. The method further includes creating a first virtual network adapter within the LPAR, associating the first virtual network adapter with a first network address, and binding the first virtual network adapter to the LPAR. The method additionally involves creating a first logical subpartition (LSPAR) within the LPAR, the first LSPAR configured to employ said specified operating system and no other. The method also includes creating a second virtual network adapter within the LPAR, associating the second virtual network adapter with a second network address, wherein the second network address is not an alias network address of the first network address, and binding the second virtual network adapter to the first LSPAR.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a computer implemented method, data processing system and computer program product for limiting instances of a client-server program within a plurality of platforms in a restricted distributed network. The data processing system receives an invocation of the client-server program. The data processing system assigns a write file to the client-server program wherein the write file has a write file name and the write file is on a distributed file system accessible to the plurality of platforms. The data processing system determines whether the write file is available. Responsive to a determination that the write file is available, the data processing system opens the write file for writing wherein the write file is associated with the client-server program. The data processing system, responsive to a determination that the write file is available, forms an addressing file having addressing information of a first instance of the client-server program.
