Abstract: Described herein are methods and a system for analyzing the impact of multiple components with one another that support a cloud service. Events are collected in time series from the components and aggregated in a relationship tree that groups the components. Propositions as to the events are created from which a conjunctive normal form (CNF) statement is derived. The CNF statement is converted to one or more directed acyclic graphs (DAG). The DAGs are traversed to determine TRUE values used to provide remediations solutions.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and a system for to optimize utilization of rack space supporting components of an existing client site rack. Real time data as to the rack space is collected, along with an objective function as to expansion. Information as to an initial design configuration is retrieved. A reinforcement learning algorithm processes real time data, the objective function, and initial design configuration to determine a deployment recommendation.

Abstract: When an event occurs in the network that affects an information handling system in the network, a topology change notice (TCN) may be propagated so that the network topology can be regenerated. However, currently, there is no mechanism to readily identify the source information handling system of the TCN. To address issues, in one or more embodiments, when an information handling system (such as a network switch) initiates a TCN, it sends a specialized message to keep track of the source of the TCN. In one or more embodiments, information handling systems that receive the specialized message may record information about the source and forward it to other information handling system in the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods communicate to a primary peer node a message that indicates that a secondary peer node does not comprise an orphan port or a link that is operationally down. In various embodiments, this causes the primary node to not send broadcast, unknown unicast, or multicast (BUM) traffic to the secondary peer node such as to prevent that traffic from being unnecessarily dropped at the peer node, thus, conserving computing resources, such as an internode link bandwidth, and significantly improving overall network performance.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the managed systems may be deployed to a location and operate in a predetermined manner conducive to, for example, execution of applications that provide the computer implemented services. When deployed to a location, the managed systems may be housed in a managed system frame. The managed system frames may include systems to guide placement of managed system in preferred frame units, remotely identify occupancy of the frame units, and/or the frame units against unexpected removals of or insertion of devices in the frame units.

Abstract: An aggregated networking device failover system includes an aggregation connected device coupled to first and second aggregated networking devices. The aggregation connected device receives a first aggregation communication from the first aggregated networking device that identifies its first MAC address as an actor MAC address, and a second MAC address of the second aggregated networking device as an alternate actor MAC address. The aggregation connected device then associates the first and second MAC addresses with an aggregated link to the first and second aggregated networking devices. Subsequent to associating the first and second MAC addresses with the aggregated link, the aggregation connected device receives a second aggregation communication from the second aggregated networking device that identifies its second MAC address as an actor MAC address, and the aggregated link remains available in response to that second/actor MAC address being associated with the aggregated link.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the managed systems may need to operate in a predetermined manner conducive to, for example, execution of applications that provide the computer implemented services. Similarly, the managed system may need access to certain hardware resources (e.g., and also software resources such as drivers, firmware, etc.) to provide the desired computer implemented services. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, the managed systems may be managed using a subscription based model. The subscription model may utilize a highly accessible service to facilitate system management. To facilitate system management, the highly available service may utilize various types of reporting models to identify use of the managed systems. The identified use may be used to drive management decisions.

To provide the computer implemented services, the managed systems may need to operate in a predetermined manner conducive to, for example, execution of applications that provide the computer implemented services. Similarly, the managed system may need access to certain hardware resources and software resources to provide the desired computer implemented services. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, the managed devices may be managed using a subscription based model. The subscription model may utilize a highly accessible service to facilitate system management. To facilitate system management, the highly available service may take into account both historic use of managed systems and changes to subscriptions to ascertain point in time when subscription limits may be reached. The identified points in time may be used to drive management decisions.

Similarly, the managed system may need access to certain hardware resources (e.g., and also software resources such as drivers, firmware, etc.) to provide the desired computer implemented services. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, the managed devices may be managed using a dynamic reporting model. The dynamic reporting model may facilitate reduction and increasing in computing resources used for reporting dynamically as the operation of the managed system change. The dynamic reporting model may be used to limit overhead for reporting.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the managed systems and/or communication devices may need to operate in a predetermined manner conducive to, for example, execution of applications that provide the computer implemented services. To manage communications in such systems, a highly available service may, upon changes in topology of a deployment including managed system and communication devices, initiate a cooperative process for determining how to communicate in the deployment. The process may be performed to select a new global maximum transmission unit (MTU). Once selected, the deployment may be reconfigured based on the selected global MTU to limit the size of network data units. The global MTU may be selected to limit network data unit fragmentation, network data unit dropping, and unused space in data transmissions.

Abstract: A hash collision prevention system includes a plurality of host devices and a plurality of networking devices. A host device address generation system retrieves network addressing information associated with the plurality of host devices, and identifies a hashing function utilized by the plurality of networking devices in transmitting data packets associated with the plurality of host devices. The host device address generation system then uses the hashing function and the network addressing information to determine a plurality of host device addresses that do not produce a hash collision, and provides the plurality of host device addresses for provisioning to the plurality of host devices.
