Abstract: Embodiments of a system for determining a data gravity index score and implementing pervasive data center architecture is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system can calculate a data gravity index score based on the amount of data stored in a given location, an amount of data in motion in the given location, a bandwidth index associated with the given location, and a latency index associated with the given location. Based on data gravity index scores, in some embodiments, the system can localize traffic to improve network performance, improve security operations, and generate software-defined-network overlay.

Abstract: A method includes displaying to a user, via a display element, a user interface that allows a user to characterize business demand of an organization; receiving, from a user, via one or more input devices, input characterizing business demand; automatically comparing, utilizing one or more processors and one or more memory elements of a computer system, qualities of business demand to attributes of ensembles comprising implementations of reusable patterns, the qualities of business demand being based at least in part on the received input characterizing business demand; determining, based on the comparing step, a recommended ensemble; and displaying to a user, via a display element, the recommended ensemble and other possible ensembles as well as a visualization comparing the recommended ensemble and the other possible ensembles to business demand.

Abstract: A method for facilitating forensic analysis of operational data for an IT infrastructure includes deriving performance data from a plurality of physical systems, network elements and storage devices in an IT infrastructure via a toolset comprising a plurality of IT monitoring and metrics tools, importing the performance data into an integrated forensics platform, aggregating the imported data, and analyzing the aggregated data to determine resources consumed. Each tool is communicatively interfaced with one or more of the physical systems, network elements and storage devices.

Abstract: A system for providing a customized library platform of informational elements, each pertaining to one or more of information technology disciplines, includes a database of informational elements, and first computer-implemented user interfaces usable to provide the customization and a second user interface usable to view the customized library platform. The IT disciplines span design, analysis, modeling and management across a wide spectrum of IT functions and includes levels of detail and viewpoints that accommodate multiple roles across IT, from very senior executives to low level engineers and programmers. The knowledge base allows organizations to model their knowledge relationships to fit their structures, processes and guidelines, by using a provided framework as a starting point. The intelligent knowledge base emphasizes specific practices that enhance the linkage of business to IT, which is a widely recognized gap across IT creating massive waste and inefficiency.

Abstract: A sighting system for visually acquiring a target includes an optic device having a transmissive LED array affixed thereon. The transmissive LED array includes two or more LED elements that are separately addressable to provide an aiming point. In embodiments, the sighting system receives information from an input system, such as ammunition information or environmental information, executes a ballistics program to determine ballistics information using the received information, and determines a range to the target. A controller calculates an aiming point using the ballistics information and the target range. The controller then addresses or energizes one of the LED elements to provide the aiming point.

Abstract: An access gateway node couples a control node to an external data network, where the control node and access gateway node are for use in a wireless communications network. The access gateway node comprises a data function to route packets containing traffic data between the control node and the external data network. An interface to the control node enables exchange of control messages between the data function and a control function in the control node.
