  • Adaptive client/server control protocol
    Patent number: 8204979
    Abstract: In various embodiments of the present invention, tiered command-propagation methods are employed within client computers to ensure that monitoring-and-management-related commands are reliably propagated from server computers to client computers. When possible, command propagation is initiated by server computers through a notification process. When the notification process is inoperable, client computers poll one or more monitoring-and-management server computer for commands. When a failed or interrupted notification process is subsequently restored to operability, client computers automatically discontinue command polling and resume relying on server notification for command propagation.

  • Event driven storage resource metering
    Publication number: 20030065759
    Abstract: A management system monitors the storage system for changes in predefined attributes and issues event messages upon detection. A storage collector communicating with the management system responds to the event messages by selectively filtering those pertinent to the billing function. The storage collector generates usage event records that are then further processed by accessing the management system to ascertain if there are any related data objects associated with the object that gave rise to the attribute change. Such additional information is then associated with the usage event and stored for later use by a billing application.
