The present invention provides an FM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation process that enable high-speed data communications over any transmission media and networks. The process is implemented with a modem device modulator and demodulator that provides communication with several other modem devices along any communication media that uses an FM OFDM modulation technique, a physical transmission medium such as power lines, or wireless (air), or cable, or twisted pairs communication media.

Frequency modulated OFDM over various communication media

A user interface to display and manage a plurality of entities as if a single entity is provided. The user interface includes a representation of the collection of entities as a whole, and a representation of members associated with the entity. If an action is performed on the representation of the entities as a whole, then the action is propagated to the collection of entities, if the action is performed on the representation of the member associated with the entity, then the action is directed to the member.

User interface to display and manage an entity and associated resources

A system and method is provided for gathering and aggregating operational metrics (e.g., performance metrics, process events, health monitor state, server state) for a plurality of members as a single entity and for a plurality of entities as a singular entity. The system and method provides for operational metrics of members and entities to be aggregated and retrieved as a single result set, such that entity wide operational metrics can be acquired, monitored and displayed as a single entity.

Distributed data gathering and aggregation agent

A data feed is defined with a data type and criteria. Each data type corresponds to a type of management related data provided by a management system. The management system is searched for all management related data that corresponds with the data type and the criteria. An aggregator collects the management related data that corresponds with the data type and the criteria. The collected management related data is rendered for a display.

Data feeds for management systems

A system and method is provided for monitoring, gathering and aggregating performance metrics of a plurality of members configured as an entity. Configurable performance metric settings can be set at a first computer (e.g., a first member) and dynamically propagated to all members of the entity to establish performance metric configuration settings at each of the plurality of members. In one aspect of the invention, a system and method log performance metric data periodically at a predefined time period and resolution at a plurality of members for one or more performance metrics. The performance metric data values logged at the predefined time period and resolution are aggregated to data sets of at least one larger time period and resolution. Valid performance data values of similar time periods and resolutions are then gathered from the plurality of members and aggregated over the entity to provide a unified result set for the entity.

Performance logging solution

A system and method is provided for gathering and aggregating operational metrics (e.g., performance metrics, process events, health monitor state, server state, event metric data, and status metric data) for a plurality of members (e.g., computers, servers, machines) configured as an entity and for a plurality of entities as a singular entity. In one embodiment, the system and method provides for operational metrics of members and entities to be aggregated and retrieved as a single result set, such that entity wide operational metrics can be acquired, monitored and displayed as a single entity. In one embodiment, at least one of the plurality of members has a gathering and aggregation system adapted to gather operational metric data from the plurality of members and aggregate the operational metric data into a unified result set.

System for gathering and aggregating operational metrics

Model-based application management architecture. A developer can describe an application or service in terms of its constituent components. Desired states can be described in terms of functionality, configuration, security, and performance. The description is employed at application installation to configure management services, which services help to ensure availability of the application through automatic management actions, such as configuration management, problem detection, diagnosis, and recovery.

Model-based management of computer systems and distributed applications

A system and method for monitoring events of a plurality of members configured as an entity. Configurable event logging settings can be defined at a first member and dynamically propagated to each member of the entity to establish event logging configuration settings at each of the plurality of members. In one aspect of the invention, a system and method log different event types in accordance with configuration settings into a common event type data format at a plurality of members. The different event types can then be coalesced for the entire entity and returned to a requestor residing at a single location. Additionally, a unique identifier can be assigned to assist in monitoring of events. Also, to assist in monitoring, data that is common to all event types can be stored in a separate table from data specific to an event type.
