  • Patent number: 10401940
    Abstract: For power management in a disaggregated computing system, a set of initial electrical power levels are allocated to a set of processor cores according to a predicted desired workload, where the set of initial power levels aggregate to an initial collective contracted power level. Electrical power is dynamically allocated to respective processor cores within the set of processor cores to produce a capacity to execute a collective demanded workload while maintaining the electrical power to the set of processor cores to an approximately constant electrical power level within a threshold of the initial collective contracted electrical power level.

  • Patent number: 10360077
    Abstract: For measuring component utilization in a computing system, a server energy utilization reading of a statistical significant number of servers out of a total number of servers located in the datacenter is obtained by measuring, at predetermined intervals, a collective energy consumed by all processing components within each server. The collective energy is measured by virtually probing thereby monitoring an energy consumption of individual ones of all the processing components to each collect an individual energy utilization reading, where the individual energy utilization reading is aggregated over a predetermined time period to collect an energy consumption pattern associated with the server utilization reading.

  • Patent number: 10242103
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for the discovery of facets. A search query over sets of data (e.g., a set of documents) leads to search results. The search results are organized by facets. Responsive to receiving new queries, facets are dynamically extracted from the search results. Furthermore, user profiles are dynamically updated. The order of presentation of facets, as displayed in a graphical user interface, can be modified based on the extracted facets.

  • Patent number: 10185637
    Abstract: For disaster recovery involving a first site and a disaster recovery site, where at least a portion of management service metadata not isolated within the management service, a failover process is initiated, including creating an initial snapshot of the distributed metadata state. In a failback process, a representation is created of state changes for the management service and a delta description is calculated therefrom. The delta description is transmitted to the first site; and a reverse replica is created, at the first site, of all the workload components from the disaster recovery site. The delta description is played back to restore a distributed metadata state that existed in the disaster recovery site and to re-create it in the first site.

  • Patent number: 10129169
    Abstract: Server resources in a data center are disaggregated into shared server resource pools. Servers are constructed dynamically, on-demand and based on workload requirements and a tenant's resiliency requirements (e.g., as specified in an SLA), by allocating from these resource pools. A disaggregated compute system of this type keeps track of resources that are available in the shared server resource pools, and it manages those resources based on that information and the health of the resources. As a workload is processed by the server entity and component resources fail, the server entity composition is changed, e.g. by allocating other resources to the server entity, or by transitioning to other server entities, to ensure that a resiliency requirement is maintained.

  • Patent number: 10061665
    Abstract: During normal operation, at a first site, of a disaster recovery management unit, at least one customer workload machine, at least one management service machine, and metadata for the at least one management service machine are replicated to a remote disaster recovery site. After a disaster at the first site, a replicated version of the at least one customer workload machine and a replicated version of the at least one management service machine are brought up at the remote disaster recovery site. A replicated version of the metadata for the at least one management service machine is reconfigured by executing, on the replicated version of the at least one management service machine, a failover script, to obtain reconfigured replicated metadata for the replicated version of the at least one management service machine. When the first site comes back up, failback is carried out, essentially in the reverse order.

  • Patent number: 10063493
    Abstract: Various embodiments for elastic resource provisioning in a disaggregated cloud computing environment, by a processor device, are provided. Respective members of pools of hardware resources within the disaggregated cloud computing environment are provisioned to a tenant according to an application-level service level agreement (SLA). Upon detecting a potential violation of the application-level SLA, additional respective members of the pools of hardware resources are provisioned on a component level to the tenant to avoid a violation of the SLA by one of a scale-up process and a scale-out process.
