20090105999 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR IMPLEMENTING IMPORTATION AND CONVERGING SYSTEM DEFINITIONS DURING PLANNING PHASE FOR LOGICAL PARTITION (LPAR) SYSTEMS - Hardware and partition information of an existing LPAR system is collected and stored in a first system plan file. The first system plan file is applied to a partition planning tool. The partition planning tool identifies hardware to be reused in a second LPAR system and filters hardware to be excluded from the second LPAR system. The partition planning tool creates a plan for the second LPAR system using the identified hardware to be reused and the partition information. The created plan for the second LPAR system is applied to a partition deployment tool to partition the second LPAR system. The created plan for the second LPAR system is used to move and place hardware to be reused in the second LPAR system. | 04-23-2009 |
20120023222 | MOVING DEPLOYMENT OF IMAGES BETWEEN COMPUTERS - In an embodiment, a unit workload comprises an average processor speed and an average memory amount required by execution of images. If an integer multiple of the average processor speed required minus a free processor speed at a source computer is greater than a first threshold amount, an integer multiple of the average memory amount required minus a free memory amount at the source computer is greater than a second threshold amount, the integer multiple of the average processor speed required minus a processor speed requirement of a source image at the source computer is less than a third threshold amount, and the integer multiple of the average memory required minus a memory requirement of the source image at the source computer is less than a fourth threshold amount, then deployment of the source image is moved from the source computer to a destination computer. | 01-26-2012 |
20130315492 | PREDICTING AND GENERATING A QUANTITY OF IMAGE CLONES - For predicting and generating a quantity of image clones, a provision module provisions a specified number of a specified image clone to an image pool. The specified number N1 is calculated as N1=N0+CEIL(SE). N0 is a number of the specified image clones provisioned during a previous provisioning operation. SE is a storage estimate. CEIL rounds SE up to a nearest integer. A deployment module deploys a first image clone from the image pool in a subsequent deployment in response to a request. | 11-28-2013 |
20140359059 | INFORMATION EXCHANGE IN DATA CENTER SYSTEMS - System information may be retrieved by an element manager on a device in a data center system where the element manager detects an application programming interface (API) call to the element manager from a centralized manager. The element manager establishes a two-way communication channel between the first element manager and the centralized manager according to a communications protocol. The element manager queries the centralized manager for data center system information through the two-way communication channel. The centralized manager manages a storage area network containing the device of the element manager. | 12-04-2014 |

20120084690 | GESTURE BASED APPLICATION MANAGEMENT - Methods and apparatus for controlling one or more displays using an application manager. The application manager may be displayed in response to a received gesture input. The application manager may provide information regarding applications or screens executing in one or more physical displays on the device. Furthermore, the application manager may be manipulated to change various aspects regarding the applications or screens executing in the one or more displays. This manipulation may include changing the actively displayed screen for a display, movement of screens between displays, or other manipulation of the arrangement or status of the screens. | 04-05-2012 |
20120084737 | GESTURE CONTROLS FOR MULTI-SCREEN HIERARCHICAL APPLICATIONS - Control of a computing device using gesture inputs. The computing device may be a handheld computing device with a plurality of displays. The displays may be capable of displaying a graphical user interface (GUI). The plurality of displays may be modified in response to receipt of a gesture input such that a hierarchical application having related GUI screens are modified in response to the gesture input. The modification may include changing the hierarchical application from being displayed in a single screen mode to being displayed in a multi screen mode or vice versa. | 04-05-2012 |
20120290946 | MULTI-SCREEN EMAIL CLIENT - An email client having multiple screens that may be displayed in different corresponding ones of a plurality of different display portions of a handheld electronic device. The screens of the email client may be related by way of a dependency relationship and/or may provide for control between the various screens. In one embodiment, the email client includes a folder management screen, a message listing screen, a message detail screen, and an attachment screen. Additionally, the email client may be responsive to received gesture inputs to navigate with respect to the screens and/or perform actions with respect to one or more elements (e.g., messages) of the various screens. | 11-15-2012 |
