摘要:
Techniques, an apparatus and an article of manufacture for targeted maintenance of computing devices in a system. A method includes assessing a maintenance request to determine a class of computing devices to which the request applies, selecting a propagation mechanism applicable to the class of computing devices, generating an agent based on the propagation mechanism to carry out the maintenance request on the class of computing devices, deploying the agent on at least one computing device in the class of computing devices, and propagating the agent to additional devices in the class of computing devices.

摘要:
Data characterizing a source computing environment having at least one hardware resource and at least one workload is obtained, as is a specification of a target computing environment to which the at least one workload is to be migrated in a migration. Based on the data characterizing the source computing environment and the specification of the target computing environment, the migration is categorized into one of a plurality of categories; and the migration is specified in accordance with a migration technique selected based on the categorizing step. Techniques to identify suitable migration candidates are also provided.

A services computing system may include a server and a plurality of clients in communication with the server. The system may further include a plurality of service exchange units in communication with the server with each of the plurality of service exchange units providing a service to a portion of the plurality of clients based upon permissions and data received from the portion of the plurality of clients. A system contemplated herein helps to better manage complex business ecosystems with heterogeneous and/or homogenous groups of clients.

Automating network reconfiguration such as firewall reconfiguration in migrations may include determining network reconfiguration needs in one or more network functionalities of the target environment based on the discovering; and applying the network reconfiguration needs to the one or more network functionalities in the target environment.
摘要:
Non-functional concerns are addressed within an abstract model corresponding to a real-world system. One or more annotations profiles are constructed. Each annotations profile describes one or more annotations, where each annotation corresponds to and represents one of the non-functional concerns. Each of a number of modeling elements of the abstract model is associated with an annotation corresponding to a non-functional concern pertaining to the modeling element. One or more transformation templates are constructed. Each transformation template transforms the abstract model to a specific implementation platform to which the transformation template corresponds. For each transformation template, the abstract model as has been transformed to the specification implementation platform to which the transformation template corresponds is executed. Such execution results in consumption of the non-functional concerns represented by the annotations associated with the modeling elements.

The present invention describes a method and system for preparing a migration and consolidation of at least one source application to be migrated to or consolidated in at least one heterogeneous server device. A computing system selects at least one prospective target platform component based on an evaluation of at least one source platform component, a requirement of the at least one source application, and a compatibility and an affinity of the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects first metadata of the at least one source platform component and the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects second metadata associated with the migration and consolidation. The computing system groups the first metadata and the second metadata into a RFM (Request For Migration). The computing system prepares and configures a final target platform in accordance with the RFM.

摘要:
Method, server, and computer product are provided to implement change management across domains. Memory is included for storing a program. A processor is functionally coupled to the memory and is responsive to computer-executable instructions contained in the program. The processor is operative to announce planned changes for a configuration item to interested outside domains, and the configuration item is in an inside domain. Open subscription is provided to the interested outside domains such that the interested outside domains can subscribe to the subscription as participants. A change instance is created or the configuration item in the inside domain. Change progress of the change instance is reported for the configuration item to the participants of the interested outside domains. State progress notifications are distributed to the participants of the change. The change instance is executed to make planned changes to the configuration item.
摘要:
A system and method for determining and managing risk impact of service downtime includes defining a process structure of one or more process types, services the process structure employs and a distribution of the services' time durations. Process usage data is collected for each type of process, and risk is estimated based on penalties and expected deadlines for each process. For a service change and outage of a given length of time, an optimal change window is determined with respect to a minimized impact on the process based on the estimated risk.
