| 20080215673 | Data Processing Method For Generating Service Interface Descriptions - A data processing method is disclosed. The data processing method comprises the step of receiving a request for a service interface description of a service from a client at a server, wherein the service is implemented via a first service endpoint at the server, and wherein the first service endpoint is associated with a first service endpoint interface description. In a further step, a given set of correlations is employed for the determination of service endpoints correlated with the first service endpoint with respect to the service, wherein each of the correlated service endpoints is associated with a service endpoint interface description. Furthermore the service interface description is generated by aggregating the first service endpoint interface description with the service endpoint interface descriptions of the correlated service endpoints and the service interface description is provided to the client. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080263258 | Method and System for Migrating Virtual Machines Between Hypervisors - A method for migrating virtual machines between hypervisors is disclosed. Initially, metadata describing a virtual machine are automatically scanned and parsed. The structure of the metadata of a source virtual machine are automatically analyzed. Elements of this structure are mapped to corresponding entries of a target virtual machine. A target metadata descriptor to be used as part of the target virtual machine is generated. A predefined layout description of the data stored in a file system image of the source virtual machine read. A predefined layout description of the data to be stored in a file system image to be used at the target virtual machine is also read. The data are extracted from the source virtual machine. A template of a file system image for the target virtual system is generated. Storage space corresponding to the target virtual machine is allocated, and the extracted data are inserted into the allocated storage space. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080263553 | Dynamic Service Level Manager for Image Pools - An embodiment of the present invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular it relates to a method for provisioning images for virtual machines, wherein for a predefined application type a pool of at least one image of a virtual machine performing said application is loaded in the main memory of the computer. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090177634 | Method and System for an Application Domain - Data processing comprising requesting a semantic description from each manageable resource of a plurality of manageable resources. An application domain comprises the plurality of manageable resources. The semantic description of a manageable resource comprises semantic information about a plurality of aspects of a manageable resource. The semantic information is specified by use of an ontology. The semantic descriptions and a conceptualization of the application domain is stored in a knowledge base. The conceptualization of the application domain is provided by the ontology. The conceptualization comprises semantic information about the application domain. A request from a client of the application domain to provide a manageable resource with specific properties is received. The specific properties are specified in the request. The semantic information of the conceptualization and the semantic descriptions is used for selecting the manageable resource with the specific properties from the plurality of manageable resources. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100005504 | METHOD OF AUTOMATING AND PERSONALIZING SYSTEMS TO SATISFY SECURITYREQUIREMENTS IN AN END-TO-END SERVICE LANDSCAPE - A computer-implemented method of enabling security in network resources provisioned as part of a service landscape instance is provided. The method includes initiating an orchestration process for creating a landscape service instance to provide services to a service subscriber over a data communications network. The method further includes deriving from the orchestration process at least one parameter, and generating at least one security configuration profile based upon the at least one parameter for at least one system of the landscape service instance. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100005505 | METHOD OF DYNAMICALLY UPDATING NETWORK SECURITY POLICY RULES WHEN NEW NETWORK RESOURCES ARE PROVISIONED IN A SERVICE LANDSCAPE - A computer-implemented method is provided for updating network security policy rules when network resources are provisioned in a service landscape instance. The method includes categorizing network resources in a service landscape instance based on a service landscape model. The method further includes responding to the provisioning of a network resource by automatically generating one or more security policy rules for a newly-provisioned network resource. Additionally, the method includes updating security policy rules of pre-existing network resources in the service landscape instance that are determined to be eligible to communicate with the newly-provisioned network resource so as to include the newly-provisioned network resource as a remote resource based on the service landscape model. | 01-07-2010 |
