A method and apparatus for distributing computer resources in a network environment. A network of computer systems is partitioned into at least one computing system partition, and is configured into at least one redundancy group. The computing system partitions include applications, computing system nodes, and copies of a database schema. The copies of the database schema are replicated at each computing system partition within a network. The computing system partition manages interactions between the instances, the computing system nodes, and the copy of the database schema within the respective computing system partition. The redundancy group comprises at least one computing system and at a plurality of computing system partitions, and manages the replication of the database schema within the computing system and computing system partitions.

Provision of continuous database service and scalable query performance using active redundant copies

A performance monitoring system uses a client/server architecture across a network including a plurality of interconnected computers. A data collector process collects and stores data from a monitored process, wherein the data collector process allows a user to control a frequency of collection for each of one or more different types of the collected data and gathers the different types of the collected data in parallel from the monitored process. A server process distributes the data collected by the data collector process to one or more client processes. Each client process manages a connection with the server process on behalf of one or more performance monitoring applications and relays data requests to the server process and delivers results therefrom to the performance monitoring applications.
