Abstract: A system for use as part of a test management system for an integrated computing system may obtain a first object instance of the integrated computing system in which the first object instance generated by applying configuration attributes of the integrated computing system to an object model of the integrated computing system. The first object instance includes a plurality of hierarchally arranged sub-object instances representing a plurality of hierarchally arranged resources of the integrated computing system.

Abstract: A transaction analysis system includes a computer-executable tool for obtaining first and second measured elapsed times to complete a transaction on at least one of the resources of an integrated computing system at first and second loading levels, respectively. The tool then generates, using a curve fitting algorithm, a function according to the first and second measured elapsed times to complete the transaction at the first and second loading level. The resulting function indicates an expected level of performance of the transaction at varying degrees of loading levels.

Abstract: A system for resolving dependencies in an integrated computing system includes executable instruction for obtaining a first object instance of an integrated computing system in which the first object instance generated from an object model comprising a unified entity representing the integrated computing system. The first object instance includes multiple hierarchally arranged sub-object instances representing multiple hierarchally arranged resources of the integrated computing system. The instructions also generate a second object instance from the first object instance, including, for each sub-object instance within the second object instance, identifying one or more dependencies of the sub-object instance relative to at least one other sub-object instance, and storing information associated with the dependencies in the second object instance.

Abstract: Methods and/or systems for automatically provisioning various computing components within a computing environment, such as a computing infrastructure are disclosed. More particularly, various compute, network, and storage components of a converged infrastructure, such as servers, databases, applications, operating systems, memories, switches and/or the like, may be automatically provisioned and allocated for use and access.
