Virtual machines in a network may be isolated by encrypting transmissions between the virtual machines with keys possessed only by an intended recipient. Within a network, the virtual machines may be logically organized into a number of community-of-interest (COI) groups. Each COI may use an encryption key to secure communications within the COI, such that only other virtual machines in the COI may decrypt the message. Virtual machines may be automatically provisioned with configuration information, such as the encryption keys, when the virtual machine is started. The provisioning information may be created based on a template stored on a configuration server.

Automated provisioning of virtual machines

Virtual machines in a network may be isolated by encrypting transmissions between the virtual machines with keys possessed only by an intended recipient. Within a network, the virtual machines may be logically organized into a number of community-of-interest (COI) groups. Each COI may use an encryption key to secure communications within the COI, such that only other virtual machines in the COI may decrypt the message. Virtual machines may further be isolated through a virtual gateway assigned to handle all communications between a virtual machine and a device outside of the virtual machine's COI. The virtual gateway may be a separate virtual machine for handling decrypting and encrypting messages for transmission between virtual machines and other devices.

Virtual gateways for isolating virtual machines

Systems and methods enable a method including: providing a first system; generating data to be sent over a network link; determining a transport protocol that will be used to transmit data over the network communication link; negotiating connection services to be performed on data that will transmitted over the network communication link; sending a request to open a network communication link; sending a request to the connectivity services of the second system for credentials of the second system; receiving the credentials from the connectivity services module of the second system; verifying that the credentials match an authenticated computer system; opening a network connection between the first system and the second system when the second system's credentials have been verified by the connectivity services module of the first system; and transmitting the data to the second system according to the determining network protocol and negotiated connection services.

Systems and methods for network communications

An embodiment of the present invention is a method for generating a simulated processor load on a system of CPU's, and introducing a controlled workload into the system that is spread evenly across the available CPU resources and may be arranged to consume a precise, controllable portion of the resources.

Method of managing workloads in a distributed processing system

The method of the present invention is useful in managing scripts easily, by providing a console interface that enables you to list registered scripts and check their status. The program executes a method for allowing scripts or programs to monitor and manage registered scripts. Such a script or program can provide a list of registered scripts based on specific criteria and awaken sleeping scripts.

Servicing method for script monitor COM object

The method of the present invention is useful in managing scripts easily, by providing a scriptable interface that allows the registering and managing of scripts. The program executes a method for registering a script with a ScriptUtility, and involves a method for utilizing the steps of waiting on events, sleeping without displaying a message, and setting a time interval and periodically receiving OnInterval events.

Method for managing user scripts utilizing a component object model object (COM)

A method is disclosed that enables changing of print commands for traditional line printers to character highlighting capabilities offered by modern non-impact type printers. The disclosed method provides a technique to look ahead in a stream of data to be printed and determining if a modification of the print is to occur. If so, a table of attributes is provided for indexing to the changed character for transmission to the printer.
