Techniques are disclosed for managing access to shared computing resources in a computing system which include representing resources as objects and managing access to those objects using the construct of a resource instance manager. A set of resource instance managers responds to all commands requesting access to a set of respective shared resources. Access to each shared resource is managed by a unique resource instance manager for that resource which maintains a consistent state for that shared resource. Each resource instance manager determines, in response to receiving requests to allow execution of commands and using a set of predefined rues, whether those commands may be safely executed concurrently with other commands acting on the same shared resource. If the commands cannot be executed concurrently, the resource instance managers change the order in which queued commands are executed or abort execution of one or more commands.

Dynamic management of concurrent access to shared computing resources

A method, computer program product, and computing system for determining, at the computing device, one or more dependencies associated with a plurality of managed objects and a plurality of backend objects. A plurality of consistency groups with one or more managed objects of the plurality of managed objects and one or more backend objects of the plurality of backend objects may be generated based upon, at least in part, the one or more dependencies associated with the plurality of managed objects and the plurality of backend objects. The one or more backend objects of the plurality of consistency groups may be fetched. The one or more managed objects of the plurality of consistency groups may be updated based upon, at least in part, the one or more fetched backend objects.

Data management system and method

Improved techniques for running different flavors of a service in different host environments. Each service is defined by a service type and host environment in which the service can be run. The techniques employ a service loader for obtaining the service type and host environment data, and loading a service flavor based on the service type and host environment data. By providing a service loader that, in response to a service request, can access host environment data from an operating system, access metadata describing host environments in which service objects for an application can be run, and determine which service flavor to load based on the service type and host environment data, appropriate service flavors can be loaded onto a system while avoiding application hanging and/or errors conditions due to a mismatch between a current host environment and the host environments in which a service object can be successfully run.
