A resource manager for a distributed environment including hosts instantiating copies of a scalable application, generates signals which start up, shutdown or move a selected one of the copies responsive to first information regarding performance of all copies of the scalable application and second information regarding performance of the hosts.

Resource management device

Resource allocation decision function for resource management architecture and corresponding programs therefor

A method for distributing application, system and network specification information to functional elements controlling a plurality of hosts in a distributed environment, including steps for preparing specification files in a language providing a syntax adapted to describe application, system and network specification information, compiling the specification files to thereby generate specification objects, and providing an application programming interface (API) permitting the functional elements to access the specification information using API calls.

System specification language for resource management architecture and corresponding programs therefore

A program control device operating in a distributed environment comprised of hosts instantiating copies of a scalable application, the program control device controlling start up, shutdown or movement of a selected one of the copies based on signals generated in response to first information regarding performance of all copies of the scalable application and second infomation regarding performance of the hosts.

Program control for resource management architecture and corresponding programs therefor

A monitoring system for a distributed environment including a plurality of hosts capable of executing multiple copies of a scalable application includes a first device for generating first data corresponding to performance of all copies of the scalable application; a second device for generating second data corresponding to performance of all host in the distributed environment; and a third device for generating performance metrics based on the first and second data.

System for monitoring and reporting performance of hosts and applications and selectively configuring applications in a resource managed system
