Abstract: According to some embodiment, first aggregated monitoring information collected from a first system and second aggregated monitoring information collected from a dedicated system over a time period are retrieved from the dedicated system at a retrieving rate. The first aggregated monitoring information and second aggregated monitoring information are archived into a database. The first aggregated monitoring information and second aggregated monitoring information from the database are retrieved and analyzed. Visual representation of the analyzed information associated with the first aggregated monitoring information and second aggregated monitoring information are provided.

Abstract: According to some embodiment, a microservice architecture is instantiated in accordance with a predefined framework to perform monitoring services of a first system and a second system. The microservice architecture includes one or more microservices. The microservice architecture is segmented into groups of microservices. Each group of microservices is represented by a subset of the predefined framework. A first group of microservices is deployed to the first system. A second group of microservices is deployed to the second system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing a backup operation in a computing environment. In an environment that includes virtual machines, a backup policy is established. The policy includes events that includes a control change rate. The events are used to drive the backup operation by causing virtual machines whose change rates satisfy the control change rate. Other virtual machines that do not satisfy the events may be omitted from the backup operation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing single instance storage of previously backed up data objects in archived backup storage, also known as data deduplication. Current deduplication methods implemented during backup and archiving of data do not work with previously backed up data. Previously backed up images may vary in format depending upon the method of backup and the type of backup system used. As a result, while future backup efforts may prevent multiple instances of backup data, previously backed up data may exist in multiple instances, wasting valuable storage space. The present invention decodes previously stored backup images for deduplication using an image adapter module that works cohesively with a deduplication engine, regardless of the format of the previously backed up images.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method, article of manufacture, and apparatus of importing authorities for backup systems. In some embodiments, this includes having a directory service engine retrieve authorities from an external directory service, obtain users and groups from the authorities, map the users and the groups to roles of internal authorities, and distribute the mapping to the internal authorities. The directory service engine may also export authorities to the external directory service and may be used for communication with the external directory service for authentication and access control.

Abstract: A method, and optical network management system is provided for monitoring an optical transmission system, including detecting degradation of an electrical signal converted from an optical signal transported via a plurality of optical network elements within the optical transmission system. The method, and optical network management system additionally perform the step of correlating the degradation in the electrical domain with degradation of the optical transmission system in an optical domain based a plurality of threshold values associated with an optical performance parameter corresponding each of the optical network elements. The method, and optical network management system further perform the step of determining whether a cause of the degradation in the electrical domain stems from one or more of the optical network elements according to the correlation.

Abstract: A method, and optical network management system, including detecting, in an electrical domain, a change in performance of an optical transmission system, and determining a cause of the change based on data associated with an optical performance parameter. The data is collected from optical network elements that have a value for the optical performance parameter exceeding a threshold. Another embodiment includes an electrical monitoring device, including outputting an electrical signal that indicates a degradation in the performance, and transmitting a command to the optical network elements to collect the data. A further embodiment includes an optical network element, including transmitting an optical signal to the electronic monitoring point that converts the optical signal to the electrical signal, which is examined to detect the degradation, and transmitting the data to the network management system, if the value exceeds the threshold value.
