In accordance with one aspect of the embodiments of this invention there is a method to operate a network mapping tool. The method includes performing a network mapping operation over a first set of ports to generate a list of hosts that are found to be alive; performing a sequential scan on only those hosts in the list to detect the operating system of each host in the list; and performing a parallel port scan to detect characteristics of only those hosts in the list. The characteristics can include an identification of at least applications and services running on the hosts in the list. The second set of ports can be a full set of ports.

A method of providing support services as a service is presented. For example, the method includes providing to a service provider one or more service modules operative to provide the support services to the service provider. The one or more service modules are provided by one or more suppliers of the support services and include instruction code operative to be performed on a processor device and one or more application programming interfaces operative for programmatic access to the one or more service module. The service modules may further include one or more user interfaces operative for interactive access to a respective service module. The one or more service modules may include, for example, one or more of a profile service module, an offering service module, a customer service module, a process service module, a user interface service module and a revenue service module.

Disclosed is a method, computer-program product and a system to compose an application solution on a cloud-computing platform for a user. The method includes, in response to input from the user, selecting at least one predetermined template that includes a hardware and software instance of a data processing system that is implementable as an solution on a cloud platform; comparing the at least one selected template against a set of constraints; establishing an instance of a cloud based solution for the user based on the selected template; and validating the established cloud based solution against user-uploaded information such as software and workloads to ensure that the solution satisfies requirements of the user, such as both technical and financial requirements of the user.
