    摘要: A method for enforcing a service discrimination policy in a storage system. The service discrimination policy enforcement method can include monitoring load metrics for physical resources required to access content stored within the storage system. A request to access the content stored within the storage system can be received. A corresponding guaranteed service level can be identified from the request. In consequence, a particular one of the physical resources can be selected to service the request based upon a determination that the selected physical resource can service the request while satisfying the guaranteed service level at a load indicated by the monitored load metrics.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for storing content in distributed computing environments to reduce storage overhead and improve efficiency and/or speed of accessing and delivering the stored content. A content management system (or other authoring system, such as a text editor) supplies hints about dependencies among objects or files, such as which objects are embedded into a web page and which objects are referenced by the web page. These hints are then used when deploying the corresponding files on a storage system, such that the files which are likely to be retrieved together are (preferably) stored together. Optionally, run-time observations by a web server may be used as input to this process to determine how best to store content during a subsequent redeployment.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer code for administrating a data mirroring relationship between a first node and a second node. The invention includes an event coordinator configured to receive a notification from the first node when an event that may potentially affect the mirroring relationship has occurred, and to perform a predetermined task in response to the notification. The predetermined task may include logging the event that occurred at the first node, notifying the second node that the event occurred at the first node, and notifying a system administrator that the event occurred at the first node.

    摘要: Methods, systems, computer program products, and methods of doing business for improving communication, whereby message content is routed efficiently while allowing different recipients to receive different versions of the content. A portion of the electronic conversation in an instant messaging session (or of messages in other messaging systems) can be identified as being relevant to a third party (or parties), and information can be specified for routing the relevant information to that third party. A variety of delivery mechanisms may be used. Approval may be obtained prior to routing an annotated message. The recipients of annotated message may be human users and/or automated processes. The message author may also be a human or an automated process.

    摘要: A distributed fault detection system and method for diagnosing a storage network fault in a data storage network having plural network access nodes connected to plural logical storage units. When a fault is detected, the node that detects it (designated the primary detecting node) issues a fault information broadcast advising one or more other access nodes (peer nodes) of the fault. The primary detecting node also sends a fault report pertaining to the fault to a fault diagnosis node. When the peer nodes receive the fault information broadcast, they attempt to recreate the fault. Each peer node that successfully recreates the fault (designated a secondary detecting node) sends its own fault report pertaining to said fault to the fault diagnosis node. The fault diagnosis node performs fault diagnosis based on all of the fault reports.

    摘要: A method, system and apparatus for server failure diagnosis and self-healing in a server farm. An autonomic server farm which has been configured in accordance with the inventive arrangements can include a multiplicity of servers enabled to respond to requests received from clients which are external to the server farm. A resource director such as an IP sprayer or a network dispatcher can be configured to route requests to selected ones of the servers, in accordance with resource allocation algorithms such as random, round-robin and least recently used. Significantly, unlike conventional server farms whose management of failure diagnosis and self-healing relies exclusively upon the capabilities of the resource director, in the present invention, client-assisted failure detection logic can be coupled to the resource director so as to provide client-assisted management of failure diagnosis and self-healing.

    摘要: A flexible data mirroring system and method are adapted for use in a data processing system having first and second data storage devices. Upon receiving notification of a file update to be written to the first data storage device a mirror mode and mirror event associated with the updated file are determined from mirror information that has been provisioned on a per-file, per-directory or per-volume, etc. basis. The file update is mirrored to the second data storage device according to the provisioned mirror mode and mirror event. If the mirror mode is continuous, the mirror operation proceeds immediately. If the mirror mode is discrete, the file update is noted and the mirror operation proceeds following occurrence of the file's mirror event.

    摘要: A method and system for processing Service Level Agreement (SLA) terms in a caching component in a storage system. The method can include monitoring cache performance for groups of data in the cache, each the group having a corresponding SLA. Overfunded SLAs can be identified according to the monitored cache performance. In consequence, an entry can be evicted from among one of the groups which correspond to an identified one of the overfunded SLAs. In one aspect of the present invention, the most overfunded SLA can be identified, and an entry can be evicted from among the group which corresponds to the most overfunded SLA.
