Workload distribution is automatically optimized. Cost penalty amounts imposed on executing a database operation transaction by current and alternative processing pathway options are determined as a function of execution response times that exceed a service level agreement time limit. Respective computer processing hardware costs are determined for executing the database operation transaction via each of the current and alternative processing pathway options. Respective licensing costs are determined for migrating execution of the database operation transaction to each of the alternative processing pathway options. Accordingly, the current or alternative middleware option that has a lowest total combined cost of licensing costs, computer processing hardware costs and service level agreement penalty costs is chosen as the path for execution of the database operation transaction.

Computer implemented systems and methods for migrating datacenter data include providing a quantity of carriers having a data storage capacity, receiving, by the quantity of carriers, a quantity of data stored in a first data storage system having a first location and including erasure coded data blocks. The quantity of carriers migrates to a second data storage system having a second location; and transmits the quantity of data to the second data storage system.

Datacenter relocation utilizing storage carriers and erasure coding

Data migrations are not able to be identified or traced through a switched network to their originating hub, because the corresponding TCP/IP data stream goes through a plurality of optimized differential switches and the originating IP in the packet header gets replaced at each switch. The present invention provides a mechanism to introduce a lag or a jitter into the IP to label the migrated data. The labeled data are able to be traced and identified through multiple managed hubs and/or switches.

Managing data traffic according to data stream analysis

An approach for determining a veracity of a reported event is provided. In an embodiment, a set of predictor variables is retrieved from a selected use case. Each of these predictor values is a condition that indicates the veracity of the reported event. In addition, a set of hidden predictor variables is generated from a set of unstructured documents related to the reported event using a hidden Markov model that is based on the predictor variables using a cognitive system. These hidden predictor variables are combined with the set of predictor variables to generate a set of updated predictor variables. These updated predictor variables are used by the cognitive system to return a determination of the veracity of the reported event.

Cognitive systematic review (CSR) for smarter cognitive solutions

A set of internal information technology (IT) architecture is received and the internal IT architecture is controlled by a service provider. A set of exogenous IT architecture is received and the exogenous IT architecture is not controlled by the service provider. A set of service level agreement (SLA) requirements, agreed upon by the service provider and a service user, are received. A set of sensor data, from sensors monitoring environmental conditions which may affect at least one of the internal IT architecture or the exogenous IT architecture, is received. A set of heuristic data relating to the internal IT architecture and the exogenous IT architecture is received. A risk metric based on the set of internal IT architecture, the set of exogenous IT architecture, the set of SLA requirements, the set of sensor data, and the set of heuristic data is determined.

A system and method for multifactor authentication. The method includes receiving a passthought brainprint and a training 3D pattern. The method also includes calculating a variance between the training 3D pattern and a passthought 3D pattern, and generating an error tolerance for the passthought 3D pattern based on the calculated variance between the training 3D pattern and the passthought 3D pattern. Further, the method includes storing the passthought 3D pattern and the passthought brainprint in a neural profile as a passthought for a secure area.

A mechanism is provided for determining a predicted performance of a database com. A first model for a database is determined using machine learning and training data based on monitoring the database operating in a production environment. A second model for the database is determined by combining the first model and a knee of curve formula for the database. The second model is stored for use in determining the predicted performance of the database in response to a database query.

The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: examining location data of a client computer device in reference to a geofence, the client computer device being associated to a certain user, the geofence being associated to a certain enterprise venue; in response to a breach of the geofence by the client computer device, initiating a process to obtain user associated data of the certain user; providing, while the client computer device is located within the geofence, one to more output observable by the certain user in dependence on data of the user associated data obtained by the initiated process; and in response to an exiting of the geofence by the client computer device terminating the process to obtain user associated data of the certain user.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining an optimal storage environment for data sets and for migrating data sets. Metadata for each application indicates storage pools used by the application to store data sets, wherein each storage pool is configured in one of a plurality of storage environments using different organization schemes to store data sets. The metadata for at least one application indicates storage pools to store the data sets for the application that are allocated from different storage environments. The metadata for an application is processed to determine a data set for the application stored in a first storage pool implemented in a first storage environment that should be stored in a second storage environment. The determined data set from the first storage pool to a second storage pool implemented in the second storage environment.

Finding care plan(s) matching desired aspects includes receiving a selection of a model care plan from a user; generating a feature hash vector representing the model care plan, resulting in a model feature hash vector; comparing feature hash vectors of existing care plans to the model feature hash vector to find care plan(s) best matching the desired aspect(s) of a user, resulting in best match(es); and providing one or more care plan recommendation(s) to the user based on the best match(es).

An approach is provided that selects a geographic location to which transmission of a data packet is disallowed. The approach identifies disallowed network devices that reside in the selected geographic location and builds a routing path through a public computer network through an allowed set of network devices with the allowed set of network devices not including any of the disallowed network devices. The approach then transmits the data packet from a transmitting network device to a receiving network device using the routing path.
