The present invention provides a system and method for managing a network. In response to an original request, a management station sends an augmented request to a remote server for information fulfilling the original request plus additional information available.

Managed computer network caching requested and related data from remote computers

A system includes a server environment and a management station. The server environment includes hardware servers. At least some of the servers can be characterized by a hierarchy of partitions. The management station provides an administrative interface. The administrative interface provides a display that displays alternate views of a graphical representation of the server environment. Each of the views has graphical partition elements corresponding to at least some of the partitions nested with graphic server elements corresponding to at least some of the hardware servers. At least some of the graphical partition elements include links that, when activated, cause the graphical representation to switch to another of its views in which is highlighted a graphical partition element that was not highlighted in the previous view.

Graphical interface for managing server environment

A method of computer system provisioning comprises defining a container as a plurality of computer system resources sufficient to run a workload, defining a workload as a set of processes executable on the container and monitored as a single entity, and modeling the container and/or the workload as a template that contains at least some of information for deploying the container and/or the workload.
