At least one message flow file that stores a message flow is read by a processor. The message flow stored within the at least one message flow file is parsed. The message flow is organized within a memory as a message flow database structure. Entries within the message flow database structure represent nodes, connections, and properties used by the message flow. The message flow database structure is edited in response to receipt of a structured query language (SQL) statement that specifies a change to the message flow database structure.

A cooling and noise-reduction apparatus for a computing device disposable within a structure having a central air conditioning system is provided. The computing device includes a heat generating component, an enclosure having first and second inlets, a fan configured to drive coolant from the first inlet to the heat generating component, a vent operably interposed between the second inlet and the heat generating component and a controller coupled to the fan and the vent to respectively control operations thereof. The cooling and noise-reduction apparatus includes a ducting element configured to flexibly and fluidly couple the second inlet with the central air conditioning system.

Resource constraints for a group of individual application products to be configured for shared resource usage of at least one shared resource within a single operating system instance are analyzed by a resource allocation module. An individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is determined based upon the analyzed resource constraints for the group of individual application products. The determined individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is implemented within the single operating system instance using local inter-product message communication bindings by the single operating system instance.
