Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method and apparatus for collaborative data redundancy for configuration management database is disclosed. The method includes requesting, by a server of a configuration tracking system, an agent of the configuration tracking system to retrieve asset data when a copy of the asset data located in the server becomes corrupted, retrieving by the agent the requested asset data from one or more assets, and transferring by the agent the asset data to the server without utilizing data redundancy services performed outside of the configuration tracking system. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A computer-based method configures a hardware circuit to transfer a message to a message queue in an operating system. The hardware circuit is used to transfer a message to the message queue in the operating system without requiring use of either the operating system or a hypervisor associated with the operating system. The using the hardware circuit uses a logical identifier associated with the message to select an entry in a mapping table of the hardware circuit. A value in the entry in the mapping table is used to select an entry in an action table. The entry in the action table is used to determine a tail pointer for the message queue. The hardware circuit appends the message to a location indicted by the tail pointer without requiring cycles of a hypervisor associated with the strand.
Abstract:
A system that generates a model for an electronic prognostics system which is used to monitor a computer system while the computer system is operating correctly. During operation, the system receives telemetry signals generated by the computer system. Next, the system builds the model based on the telemetry signals, wherein the model uses correlations between different telemetry signals to identify anomalies in the telemetry signals. The system then validates the model against telemetry signals from the computer system.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are presented for managing remote computers. In one or more embodiments, the apparatus includes one or more management servers comprising a registry of manageable objects. The one or more management servers are capable of being executed on a first machine. One or more management applications are coupled to the one or more management servers. The one or more management applications are capable of being executed on a second machine, where the first and second machines are separate. A first cache connector is coupled to the one or more management servers, where the first cache connector retrieves and stores at least one of the manageable objects listed in the registry. A second cache connector is coupled to the one or more management applications, where the first and second cache connectors form a cache management connection. The processing required to implement the first cache connector is distributed across the first machine.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system that simulates a load on a computer system. The system starts by collecting a set of sampled values from one or more monitors in the computer system during the execution of program code. Next, the system uses the set of sampled values to determine if one or more repeating computational phases occurs during the execution of the program code. If one or more repeating computational phases occurs, the system subsequently simulates a load on the computer system by executing portions of the program code that caused each repeating computational phase one or more times.
Abstract:
A method for transferring digital content, involving defining a first region of space associated with a first device and a second region of space associated with a second device, wherein the first device includes digital content to be transferred to the second device, performing a first action within the first region, obtaining the digital content to be transferred from the first device in response to performing the first action to obtain captured digital content, performing a second action within the second region, and transferring the captured digital content to the second device in response to performing the second action.
Abstract:
A virtual installation map, and method involving installing a software functionality using the same, the virtual installation map including a first software installation map including a plurality of software elements representative of a related software file, the software elements also including at least one dependency to another software element. The virtual installation map further including a second software installation map also including a second plurality of software elements representative of related software file along with related dependencies. The first and second software installation maps may be hosted in separate databases and may relate to software products provided by different vendors. One or both software installation maps may include a pointer or other reference to the other installation map thereby providing a virtual installation map, in one example.
Abstract:
A system and method for storing data in a virtual file system using write once read many (WORM) protection includes a WORM server in communication with one or more storage devices and a controller in communication with the WORM server. A first time stamping process for creating a first time stamp for a data object based on instructions applied by the controller for storage on the WORM server. A second time stamping process for creating a second time stamp for the data object for storage on the WORM server. The second time stamping process creates the second time stamp for the data object and first time stamp to ensure the integrity of the data object stored on the system.

Abstract:
A method for distributing and installing a digital certificate is provided. In this method, an object is accessed. The object is used for requesting a new digital certificate from a remote server. The object comprises a request for the new digital certificate, validity scope information, and an address associated with a controlled access point through which the object is transmitted when requesting the new digital certificate. Thereafter, the object is sent to the remote server on a communication path that includes the controlled access point. Subsequently, the new digital certificate is received from the remote server after the remote server verifies the validity scope information and verifies that the object was transmitted through the address associated with the controlled access point.
