| 20090063673 | END-TO-END (E2E) SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA) COMPLIANCE ACROSS BOTH MANAGED AND UNMANAGED NETWORK SEGMENTS - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to e2e SLA support in a network of both manageable and unmanageable portions and provide a method, system and computer program product for e2e SLA compliance across both managed and unmanaged network segments. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for e2e SLA compliance across both managed and unmanaged network segments can be provided. The method can include identifying both a managed segment and an unmanaged segment of an e2e network for a communications path implicated by an SLA, determining an observed delay for the unmanaged segment of the e2e network, computing from a desired delay for the communications path and the observed delay a differential delay, and constraining the managed segment to meet the differential delay in order to assure meeting the desired delay for the communications path implicated by the SLA. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090141659 | Method and Apparatus for Concurrent Topology Discovery - A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for discovering the topology of a network by using multiple discovery agents operating in parallel. A NodeList containing information about known nodes in a target network is received. The number (‘K’) of discovery agents to be used is determined, where 1<=K<=TotalNumberOfNodes). The nodes are partitioned into node groups, each of which has a group identifier respectively assigning it to a discovery agent ‘M’ where 1<=M<=K. A GraphList is created to hold information about known and discovered nodes. Each entry in the NodeList list is processed by its assigned discovery agent ‘M’, which sends probe messages to the target node to determine the node identifiers of discovered neighboring nodes. If the discovered nodes are not listed in the NodeList, then they are assigned to a node group for processing. If the connections between the target and the discovered neighboring node nodes are not listed in the GraphList, then they are added. Once all node and connection information is collected by the ‘K’ node discovery agents ‘M’ and listed in the GraphList, a network topology is generated. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100311443 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING COMPUTER NETWORK ACCESSIBLE SERVICE APPLICATIONS VIA A MOBILE TERMINAL - Methods and systems for accessing computer network accessible services, such as internet based service applications, via a mobile terminal of a mobile telecommunication system using a mediation layer between a person's mobile terminal and the IT world. The mobile terminal in response to receiving user inputs interacts with this mediation layer via text messages. The mediation layer turns around and executes the appropriate IT services on behalf of the mobile terminal user. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110078290 | ENERGY-EFFICIENT SERVER LOCATION DETERMINATION FOR CONFIGURATION CHANGES - At a data center controller, a first server location is determined from a set of available server locations at which to change a server active state for a data center. A time and configuration change for the data center are forecasted. A second server location is determined from the set of available server locations at which to change the server active state based upon the forecasted configuration change for the data center. An available server location is selected at which to change the server active state based upon the first server location, the second server location, and the forecasted time associated with the forecasted configuration change for the data center. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110078480 | ENERGY-EFFICIENT SERVER LOCATION DETERMINATION - A heat potential value for each of a set of available server locations is calculated via a data center controller based upon at least one active server in a data center. A minimal calculated heat potential value for the set of available server locations is identified. An available server location associated with the identified minimal calculated heat potential value is selected from the set of available server locations. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20080222704 | Method and Apparatus for Computer Network Security - Techniques are provided for computer network security. The techniques include obtaining operational data for at least a first networked application; obtaining enterprise data for at least a second networked application; correlating the operational data with the enterprise data to obtain correlated data; and using the correlated data to improve security of the computer network. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080271004 | COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR OPTIMIZING A DISTRIBUTED APPLICATION - A computer-implemented method, system, and program product for optimizing a distributed (software) application are provided. Specifically, a configuration of a target computing environment, in which the distributed application is deployed, is discovered upon deployment of the distributed application. Thereafter, based on a set of rules and the discovered configuration, one or more optimization techniques are applied to optimize the distributed application. In a typical embodiment, the set of rules can be embedded in the distributed application, or they can be accessed from an external source such as a repository. Regardless, the optimization techniques applied can include at least one of the following: (1) identification and replacement of an underperforming component of the distributed application with a new component; (2) generation of interface layers (to allow selection of optimal bindings) between distributed objects of the distributed application; and/or (3) execution of code transformation of the distributed application using program analysis techniques. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090031302 | METHOD FOR MINIMIZING RISKS OF CHANGE IN A PHYSICAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - Risks of change to a physical configuration are minimized. A request for a change to the physical system included in the physical configuration is detected, and all applications the physical systems that would be affected by the requested change are identified. All the applications and physical systems that would be affected by the requested change are replicated on a virtual system, including applications and the physical system to which the requested change is targeted and applications and physical systems that are dependent on the applications and the physical system to which the requested change is targeted. The requested change is applied to the virtual system. The virtual system is tested to determine whether the applied change produces desired results. If the applied change products the desired results, the requested change is applied to the physical system. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090055274 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTED APPLICATION EXECUTION - This invention provides methods and apparatus for executing applications in a distributed manner employing one or more proxy servers and one origin server. The invention allows the applications to be executed primarily at the proxy servers rather than at the origin servers, thereby gaining in scalability and improved user response time. A redirection mechanism is used to direct requests to one of the proxy servers. The proxy server uses caching techniques to bring information records needed for application execution to the proxy servers. The code required for application execution is also obtained from the origin server. The invention discusses applying this technique to three Web-based applications, namely Web-based auctions, generating personalized content for Web-users, and creating advertisements for users accessing a Web page. | 02-26-2009 |
