Various aspects described or referenced herein are directed to different methods, systems, and computer program products for facilitating real-time optimization of computer-implemented application operations using machine learning techniques.

Method, apparatus and system for real-time optimization of computer-implemented application operations using machine learning techniques

Various aspects described herein are directed to different techniques for automatically and dynamically analyzing a first subscriber system's telemetry information and crowdsourced telemetry information to dynamically evaluate at least one performance metric associated with at least one entity of the first subscriber system; and for automatically and dynamically initiating at least one modification of at least one configuration element at the first subscriber system based on the analysis of the first subscriber system telemetry information and crowdsourced telemetry information.

Techniques for evaluating server system reliability, vulnerability and component compatibility using crowdsourced server and vulnerability data

Various aspects described herein are directed to different techniques for: evaluating server system reliability, vulnerability and component compatibility using crowdsourced server and vulnerability data; generating automated recommendations for improving server system metrics; and automatically and conditionally updating or upgrading system packages/components.

Teachings of this application include a computing network that may include multiple different data centers and/or server grids which are deployed in different geographic locations. In at least one embodiment, at least some of the server grids may be operable to provide on-demand, grid and/or utility computing resources for hosting various types of distributed applications. In at least one embodiment, a distributed application may be characterized as an application made up of distinct components (e.g., virtual appliances, virtual machines, virtual interfaces, virtual volumes, virtual network connections, etc.) in separate runtime environments. In at least one embodiment, different ones of the distinct components of the distributed application may be hosted or deployed on different platforms (e.g., different servers) connected via a network. In some embodiments, a distributed application may be characterized as an application that runs on two or more networked computers.

Globally distributed utility computing cloud

A system for executing applications designed to run on a single SMP computer on an easily scalable network of computers, while providing each application with computing resources, including processing power, memory and others that exceed the resources available on any single computer. A server agent program, a grid switch apparatus and a grid controller apparatus are included. Methods for creating processes and resources, and for accessing resources transparently across multiple servers are also provided.

Apparatus, method and system for aggregating computing resources

A method includes receiving a migration request to migrate a source data set stored at a source endpoint and having a first data format. The migration request includes a source identifier indicative of the source endpoint having a first architecture type and a destination identifier indicative of a destination endpoint having a second architecture type. The method also includes determining whether a data translation is required by comparing the first architecture type with the second architecture type. The method further includes determining a first particular transform mechanism from a plurality of transform mechanisms based on the second architecture type. The method additionally includes translating the first data format of the source data set into a second data format corresponding to the second architecture type using the first particular transform mechanism and storing the translated source data set at the destination endpoint.

System and method for automating data migrations between heterogeneous architectures

Various techniques are disclosed for facilitating manipulation of virtualized storage volumes and/or file systems of one or more different types of operating systems (OSs) implemented on distributed computer systems. According to different embodiments, various aspects may be directed to different embodiments of virtualized filer appliances and/or filer applications which may be used for facilitating manipulation of virtualized storage volumes and/or file systems of one or more different types of operating systems (OSs) implemented on distributed computer systems. In at least one embodiment, a filer appliance may be implemented as a virtual appliance that includes functionality for performing automated file-level and/or volume-level operations for a selected set of file systems. In one embodiment, a filer appliance may be implemented as a virtual machine which is configured or designed to handle managing of one or more volumes. In one embodiment, the filer appliance may include one or more virtual interfaces for interfacing with one or more virtual volumes and/or one or more other virtual appliances, virtual applications, etc. Various other techniques are disclosed herein for facilitating dynamic and automated configuration of virtual appliances implemented at distributed computing systems.

Automated filer technique for use in virtualized appliances and applications

An apparatus, method and system are disclosed for visually constructing and rapidly delivering distributed applications. The system includes a virtual appliance apparatus and a composite appliance apparatus, as well as a system for virtualizing hardware resources and for provisioning, executing and scaling distributed applications.

Apparatus, method and system for rapid delivery of distributed applications

A method and system are disclosed for building complex real-time software that scales well to a large number of processors or CPU cores. The software design and implementation method are based on a combination of object composition (hierarchical assembly) and desynchronizable inter-object interactions.

Apparatus, method and system for building software by composition

The present invention is related to the field of real-time software, and, more specifically, to an apparatus, method and system for building complex high-performance software by composition.

In at least one embodiment, the computing network may include multiple different data centers and/or server grids which are deployed different geographic locations. In at least one embodiment, at least some of the 20 server grids may be operable to provide on-demand, grid and/or utility computing resources for hosting various types of distributed applications. In at least one embodiment, a distributed application may be characterized as an application made up of distinct components (e.g., virtual appliances, virtual machines, virtual interfaces, virtual volumes, virtual network connections, etc.) in separate runtime environments. In at least one embodiment, different 25 ones of the distinct components of the distributed application may be hosted or deployed on different platforms (e.g., different servers) connected via a network. In some embodiments, a distributed application may be characterized as an application that runs on two or more networked computers.

A switched file system, also termed a file switch, is logically positioned between client computers and file servers in a computer network. The file switch distributes user files among multiple file servers using aggregated file, transaction and directory mechanisms. The file switch ensures consistent and atomic behavior of the switched file system by aggregating in a deterministic way the transactions initiated by the client of multiple independent file switches so that only one of the multiple concurrent transactions attempted on the same aggregated data file may succeed, or so that the transactions are serialized so as to be performed as a sequence of atomic operations. In addition, the integrity of the aggregated data file is safeguarded by issuing locking requests on behalf of certain client applications that do not observe locking mechanism consistently.
