  • Patent number: 10063445
    Abstract: A method of detecting misconfiguration of a hardware resource during a software deployment in a service provider may include receiving configuration data for the hardware resource, the configuration data being associated with a hardware layer, an operating system layer and an application layer of the hardware resource. At least a first fingerprint may be generated using the configuration data associated with the hardware resource. Software may be deployed to the hardware resource. Updated configuration data for the hardware resource may be received, the updated configuration data being associated with the hardware layer, the operating system layer and the application layer of the hardware resource after the deployment. A second fingerprint associated with the hardware resource that is based on the updated configuration data may be generated. The first fingerprint may be compared to the second fingerprint to determine whether the software deployment was successful.

  • Patent number: 9400731
    Abstract: In a computing environment, common attributes of one or more computing resources are identified for which a predicted probability of an event associated with the one or more computing resources is to be determined. A first predicted probability of the event based on data associated with actual occurrences of the events is calculated. A second predicted probability of the event is calculated based on updated data associated with the event.

  • Publication number: 20050009521
    Abstract: A method for obtaining service when in a no-coverage area of a radiotelephone communication system includes a first step of storing information regarding a last known available communication system. This can be accomplished through the communication system when loss of service is imminent or through independent means after service is lost. A next step includes reporting the information about the last known available communication system to a user of the radiotelephone. A next step includes using the information to obtain service from the last known available communication system. For example, a user could use timing information to backtrack their steps or use location information to obtain service.
