摘要:
A method, computer readable medium and computer system for repairing a failed network connection between a client system and a network is disclosed. In a first aspect, the method preferably includes collecting real time connectivity information by the client system and utilizing the real time connectivity information by the client system to establish a connection with the network. In a second aspect, a computer system coupled to a network includes at least one network adapter for monitoring and collecting real time connectivity information from the network, memory for storing the real time connectivity information, and a processor coupled to the memory and to the at least one network adapter, where the processor is configured to execute program instructions for utilizing the real time connectivity information to repair a failed network connection between the computer system and the network.

摘要:
A warning system and method include a memory device configured to store one or more condition criteria. A monitoring device is configured to monitor a status of the one or more condition criteria. The monitoring device is triggered by a triggering event related to the status to generate a warning signal responsive to the triggering event. A mobile computing device is configured to communicate with the monitoring device and an external network to receive the warning signal and output a warning message on the external network to one or more designated entities.

In a first aspect of the present invention, methods and apparatus implement graphical user interfaces for interactively specifying service level agreements used to regulate delivery of services to, for example, computer systems. An interactive graphical user interface allows a user to see the effects of varying values of service delivery variables on the level of service achievable in a particular service delivery context. In a second aspect, methods and apparatus of the present invention provision resources required for service delivery. In the second aspect, the methods and apparatus of the present invention select a service delivery model dependent on context. The selected service delivery model is used to provision resources that will be required during service delivery. In a third aspect, methods and apparatus of the present invention monitor compliance with a service level agreement during a service delivery event. In instances where a given service delivery does not comply with service level attributes specified in a controlling service level agreement, the methods and apparatus of the present invention take corrective action.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for controlling software patching activity. Techniques may implement a software shell and institute a patching policy to control patching activities. When implemented, the software shell acts as a barrier which permits patching of the underlying software only when the patching activity would be in accordance with the instituted patching policy. Various patching policies can be instituted. Patching may be performed when convenient; or just before when the software requiring the patch is needed; or patching may be blocked to prevent unwanted software characteristics and/or behavior. Patching may be delayed until confidence has been established in a new patch so as to avoid disrupting a computer system that is already functioning in an acceptable manner. A particular software action may be blocked so as to avoid the necessity of having to patch software, particularly when the action may interrupt the orderly function of a computer system.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer product that, in a system having a client computer, and apparatus for connecting the client computer to a network having a server for backing up the client computer, enables transferring data from the client computer to the server, by connecting the client computer to the network; backing up data on the client computer to a storage device attached to the network when the client computer is connected to the network; and transferring the data from the storage device to the server, preferably at a time determined by the server.
摘要:
A computer system having at least one CPU has as its only interface with the Internet and other external sources a virtual machine that contains a browser and/or other communications programs, so that e-mail and other external communications are opened within the virtual machine and stored within a virtual storage. The virtual machine is erased at frequent intervals, taking with it any changes made by virus or other hostile programs.
摘要:
The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for controlling software patching activity in, for example, computer systems. Methods and apparatus of the present invention may implement a software shell and institute a patching policy to control patching activities. When implemented, the software shell acts as a barrier which permits patching of the underlying software only when the patching activity would be in accordance with the instituted patching policy. Various patching policies can be instituted in embodiments of the present invention. For example, patching may be done when convenient; or just before when software characteristics and/or behavior. In other circumstances, patching may be delayed until confidence has been established in a new patch so as to avoid disrupting a computer system that is already functioning in an acceptable manner. In still further circumstances, a particular software action may be blocked so as to avoid the necessity of having to patch software, particularly when the action may interrupt the orderly function of a computer system.
摘要:
A method and system for managing a group of computer applications operating on a computer. The method comprises the steps of establishing a set of policies for operating the applications under a variety of circumstances, each of the circumstances being associated with one of the policies and each of the policies setting forth a behavior to occur under the associated circumstance; and monitoring the environment of the computer to determine when one of the circumstances occurs. When one of the circumstances is determined as occurring, a search is made through the set of policies to identify the policy associated with said one of the circumstances, and said group of computer applications is operated in accordance with the behavior set forth in said associated policy.
