Data is returned from the user to the controller and then forwarded to the proper hardware module. | 2016-02-11 |
20160043908 | Compressing Topological Information Pertaining to Managed Resources to Enhance Visualization - A method is provided in association with a managed system having a substantial number of resources. The method includes the step of selecting an attribute that is common to all of the resources, wherein each resource has a status in regard to the selected attribute that is one of a plurality of prespecified statuses that are available for the attribute. The method further includes compressing the group of resources into a set of subgroups, wherein each subgroup corresponds to a different prespecified status of the plurality, and each resource having a given status is placed into the subgroup that corresponds to the given status. Each of the subgroups is represented by a display element on a single computer display screen, and specified information is displayed with each display element, wherein the specified information for a display element pertains to all of the resources placed into the subgroup that are represented by the display element. | 2016-02-11 |
20160043909 | Hierarchical Subscription Management - Embodiments of the invention provide a subscription management service that allows an organization create unique offers, plans, and subscriptions. The resources are created under organizational subscriptions in a hierarchical manner. Each subscriber is a sub-organization of the level above it and can independently manage its services. Administrators for each subscriber at each level can define their sub-organizations. Each subscriber can install their own organizational services as long as those services are supported by the subscription. Subscribers may create their own organizational plans, such as defining how services are packaged and offered to other sub-organizations and end users. For example, a reseller may create service packages at different price levels and offer those to tenants. Administrators may create organizational subscriptions that are managed by subscribers. | 2016-02-11 |
20160043910 | System and Method for Obtaining Deterministic Performance in Virtual Desktop System - A virtual desktop system includes a user system, a system manager, and a virtualization host including a processor and a performance module. The performance module is operable to receive a first data packet, determine that the first data packet is associated with the user system, and add a label to the first data packet, the label being operable to provide performance information for the virtual desktop system. The user system is operable to receive the first data packet and extract the performance information from the label. The system manager is operable to receive the performance information from the user system. | 2016-02-11 |
20160043911 | SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT BASED STORAGE ACCESS - A method and a system implementing a service level agreement based storage access system. A service level agreement based storage access system presents a single interface for data storage consumers and translates generic data operation requests to data operation request specific to a storage server. The SLA based storage access system also monitors storage server performance and may throttle processes to ensure service level agreements are not violated. | 2016-02-11 |
