  • Managing computing deployment in presence of variable workload
    Patent number: 8386995
    Abstract: Automated or autonomic techniques for managing deployment of one or more resources in a computing environment based on varying workload levels. The automated techniques may comprise predicting a future workload level based on data associated with the computing environment. Then, an estimation is performed to determine whether a current resource deployment is insufficient, sufficient, or overly sufficient to satisfy the future workload level. Then, one or more actions are caused to be taken when the current resource deployment is estimated to be insufficient or overly sufficient to satisfy the future workload level. Actions may comprise resource provisioning, resource tuning and/or admission control.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for subsetting rich media in a peer-to-peer model
    Patent number: 6978417
    Abstract: A method and system for sending rich media. In a preferred embodiment, a document containing rich media is parsed using preset filtering options to determine a subset of the document containing rich media that is intended to be sent to a recipient. The document containing rich media and filtering instructions are then sent to a document server. The filtering instructions instruct the document server as to the identity of the subset of the document containing rich media. The entire document containing rich media is stored on the document server, but only the subset of the rich media is copied and sent to an intended recipient.
