Embodiments are disclosed for managing a plurality of virtual computers in a virtual environment. According to one embodiment, a method includes creating a virtual group. The virtual group includes a plurality of virtual computers having a relevant characteristic. An action to perform on the virtual group is received, and the action is performed on each of the virtual computers in the virtual group.

Managing virtual computers simultaneously with static and dynamic dependencies

A method and system for managing integrity of system log file data. The system comprises a first component which, using a hook in a kernel of an operating system, allows interception of a write operation by a file system on at least one log file; then the first component detects a change in the security context in which the record is written in the log file. At each change detected, the first component adds information in the log file including the context information. The system further comprises a second component which reads the log file and, using the information added by the first component, detects if the change of context is due to a malicious writing operation in the log file for instance done by an unauthorized user or process.

Method and system for real time system log integrity protection

An upgrade analysis unit can include functionality to analyze a customized software product and compute a convenience for using the upgrade toolkit. The upgrade analysis unit automatically generates an upgrade approach based on the convenience. The upgrade approach identifies software product modules recommended for automatic upgrade with the upgrade toolkit.

Automatically recommending an upgrade approach for a customizable software product

A method and system for electricity consumption profile management for electrical devices, is provided. One implementation involves receiving an energy consumption control command at a consumer site including on or more electrical devices connected to an energy distribution network; determining energy consumption adjustment including determining an energy consumption adjustment for at least one of the electrical devices based on the energy consumption control command; and transmitting an energy consumption adjustment message to said at least one of the electrical devices, commanding the electrical device to adjust its electrical energy consumption accordingly.
