20080228873 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERIC APPLICATION LIVELINESS MONITORING FOR BUSINESS RESILIENCY - A system and method for monitoring liveliness includes a management device which has an application layer where applications are executed. A connection monitor is located other than on the application layer, and the connection monitor is configured to receive requests from clients and deliver the requests to components on the application layer. The components include a generic application monitor which responds to liveliness monitor requests from the clients for all applications monitored, and one or more applications which response to requests to that application. | 09-18-2008 |
20080263082 | RECOVERY SEGMENT IDENTIFICATION IN A COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE - A solution for managing a computer infrastructure is provided. In particular, the solution can generate a set of tentative recovery segments for the computer infrastructure based on a related resource graph and a set of partition rules. The related resource graph can be generated based on a managed resource graph, which includes resource type information for each node in the managed resource graph. The set of tentative recovery segments can be used to manage the computer infrastructure and/or a set of recovery segments, which includes recovery characteristic(s) for each segment can be generated based on the set of tentative recovery segments and a set of recovery segment templates. In any event, the invention provides a solution that fully and/or partially automates the identification of recovery segments within a computer infrastructure, thereby enabling a more effective management of the computer infrastructure. | 10-23-2008 |
20080288645 | COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT USING TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS TO DETERMINE STATE OF A NETWORK NODE TO ELIMINATE MESSAGE RESPONSE DELAYS IN SYSTEM PROCESSING - The determination of node and/or adapter liveness in a distributed network data processing system is carried out via one messaging protocol that can be assisted by a second messaging protocol which is significantly less susceptible to delay, especially memory blocking delays encountered by daemons running on other nodes. The switching of protocols is accompanied by controlled grace periods for needed responses. This messaging protocol flexibility is also adapted for use as a mechanism for controlling the deliberate activities of node addition (birth) and node deletion (death). | 11-20-2008 |
20080291837 | COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DETERMINATION OF REMOTE ADAPTER AND/OR NODE LIVENESS - The determination of node and/or adapter liveness in a distributed network data processing system is carried out via one messaging protocol that can be assisted by a second messaging protocol which is significantly less susceptible to delay, especially memory blocking delays encountered by daemons running on other nodes. The switching of protocols is accompanied by controlled grace periods for needed responses. This messaging protocol flexibility is also adapted for use as a mechanism for controlling the deliberate activities of node addition (birth) and node deletion (death). | 11-27-2008 |
20090171707 | RECOVERY SEGMENTS FOR COMPUTER BUSINESS APPLICATIONS - Recovery Segments are defined and employed to facilitate management of a customer's environment. A Recovery Segment is a runtime usable representation of resources and relationships between those resources associated with a business application. That representation is usable in managing the business application. Associated with the representation is one or more goals to be met by resources of the representation. | 07-02-2009 |
20090171731 | USE OF GRAPHS IN MANAGING COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS - Resource graphs are provided for use in managing Information Technology environments. The resource graphs include representations of resources of the environment and their relationships. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172149 | REAL-TIME INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENTS - Real-time data of business applications of an Information Technology environment is monitored to obtain information to be used in managing the environment. A business application includes processing collectively performed by a plurality of components of the environment. A component includes one or more resources, and therefore, in one example, the real-time data being monitored is associated with those resources. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172668 | CONDITIONAL COMPUTER RUNTIME CONTROL OF AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT BASED ON PAIRING CONSTRUCTS - Management of an Information Technology (IT) environment is conditionally controlled based on runtime analysis of resource pairing constructs. Resource pairings are provided, and evaluated based on the current state of the environment. This real-time information is then used in performing managerial tasks, the results of which are effected by the runtime conditions. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172669 | USE OF REDUNDANCY GROUPS IN RUNTIME COMPUTER MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS APPLICATIONS - A Redundancy Group includes one or more functionally equivalent resources, and is employed in the dynamic reconfiguration of resources. This enables a business application associated with the resources to be actively managed during runtime. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172689 | ADAPTIVE BUSINESS RESILIENCY COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENTS - Programmatically adapting an Information Technology (IT) environment to changes associated with business applications of the IT environment. The programmatically adapting is performed in the context of the business application. The changes can reflect changes in the IT environment, changes to the business application, changes to the business environment and/or failures within the environment, as examples. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172769 | PROGRAMMATIC VALIDATION IN AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT - Programmatically validating service level policies established for business applications of an Information Technology environment. The programmatic validation predicts whether the policies are achievable within the environment. Examples of service level policies include quantitative goals, redundancy levels and resource use. | 07-02-2009 |
20110093853 | REAL-TIME INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENTS - Real-time data of business applications of an Information Technology environment is monitored to obtain information to be used in managing the environment. A business application includes processing collectively performed by a plurality of components of the environment. A component includes one or more resources, and therefore, in one example, the real-time data being monitored is associated with those resources. | 04-21-2011 |
