| 20090172168 | PROGRAM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATING SERVERS TO TARGET SYSTEM - Server management data describes observed operating condition of a pool of spare servers. Based on a demand forecast of a specific target system, a dynamic allocation period is determined as a period during which the target system needs additional server resources to handle an expected demand. Based on the dynamic allocation period and server management data, a set of allocation candidates are nominated from the spare server pool, by eliminating therefrom spare servers which are likely to fail during the dynamic allocation period. An appropriate allocation candidate is then selected for allocation to the target system, such that the selected candidate will satisfy a specified requirement during its allocation period. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090248733 | PROCESS INFORMATION STRUCTURING SUPPORT METHOD - A process information structuring support system includes a first acquisition part configured to acquire a process information showing a flow of a plurality of processing elements and containing a plurality of related elements associated with the plurality of processing elements respectively, a holding part configured to hold structured information obtained by structuring information about the plurality of related elements, a second acquisition part configured to acquire the structured information held by the holding part, a generation part configured to generate structured process information by structuring the plurality of processing elements in the process information acquired by the first acquisition part in accordance with the structured information acquired by the second acquisition part and an output part configured to output the structured process information generated by the generation part. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090271355 | POLICY CHANGE PROCESSING PROGRAM, POLICY CHANGE PROCESSING METHOD, POLICY CHANGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A policy change processing apparatus is used for controlling a system, and processes a change in a content of a plurality of policies specified so that contents of the policies do not conflict with each other. The policy change processing apparatus includes: a changeable scope storing unit that stores therein a changeable scope for each of the policies, the changeable scope indicating a scope where a policy content is changeable without causing a conflict with any other policies; and a changeable scope determining unit that determines whether a policy content accepted as a change target of a predetermined policy is within the changeable scope of the predetermined policy, the changeable scope being stored in the changeable scope storing unit. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100070458 | RULE CREATION METHOD AND RULE CREATING APPARATUS - An information processing apparatus obtains, from an F-CMDB for managing CIs regarding resources and their attribute values, CIs with the type and attribute of the resource for which a rule is to be created for use at the time of comparison between CIs. From the F-CMDB for managing CIs of SRC and CIs of DST, and relations between SRC and DST together, the information processing apparatus also obtains CI pairs with SRC including any CI previously obtained and also having a relation corresponding to the determination objective of the rule. Then, the information processing apparatus subjects CIs of SRC with the same classification as that defined in a CI of DST to grouping. Then, the information processing apparatus stores a group of CIs of SRC obtained through grouping in a rule DB as a rule for the determination objective. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100211573 | INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A recording medium stores a program that causes a processer to execute a procedure. The procedure includes: calculating registration positions of data based on a total amount of data of existing tables and a hash method, and registering the data at the registration positions, when registering the data in a plurality of tables; adding or deleting a table from the plurality of tables; calculating the registration position of the data based on the total amount of data of the existing tables and the hash method and judging whether data to be referred to is present at the registration position, when data registered in a table is referred to after the table is added or deleted; and when the data to be referred to is not present at the registration position, recalculating the registration position of the data. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110161353 | Management device and management method - A management device includes a memory unit for storing configuration item information regarding configuration items to be managed and relationship information regarding relationships between the configuration items to be managed, an extracting unit for extracting, based on the information stored in the memory unit and based on predetermined constraint conditions, such relationships between the configuration items that satisfy the predetermined constraint conditions and that are not included in the relationship information, and an evaluating unit for executing an application that refers to the extracted relationships between the configuration items and obtains an evaluation result regarding the extracted relationships between the configuration items. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110161491 | MIGRATION CONTROL APPARATUS AND MIGRATION CONTROL METHOD - A migration control apparatus for controlling migration of a virtual machine includes a monitoring section, a planning section, a time estimation section, a comparing section, and a plan execution section. The monitoring section monitors a status of a current migration of the virtual machine running on a first physical machine. The planning section makes, on the basis of the status of the current migration, a new migration plan for migrating the virtual machine. The time estimation section estimates a first migration time required to perform a new migration. The comparing section compares the first migration time with a second migration time to determine which migration will be completed earlier. The second migration time is an estimated time required to complete the current migration. The plan execution section performs the new migration when it has been determined that the new migration will be completed earlier. | 06-30-2011 |
