Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and for determining a recommendation relating to a configuration of a plurality of server nodes of a computing system. In one embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, the computer implemented method includes the steps of, for each server node, storing a first performance parameter value, wherein each first performance parameter value is a benchmarked value that corresponds to a measured actual performance parameter of its associated server node, and applying a first configuration rule based, at least in part, on the first performance parameter values of the plurality of server nodes to obtain a first configuration recommendation. In another embodiment, the method further includes the step of presenting the first recommendation to a human user.

Abstract: Techniques for managing configuration of virtual switches in a virtual machine network are disclosed. In an embodiment, a virtual machine network that includes virtual switches is configured to revert back to a saved network configuration if a configuration change causes the connection between the VM management system and a managed node to be lost. For example, before any configuration changes are made, the active configuration is saved. If the new configuration supports a working connection between the managed node and the VM management system, then the saved configuration is no longer needed and can be flushed from memory. If, however, the new configuration causes the managed node to be disconnected from the VM management system, then the system reverts back to the saved configuration that was previously known to work. The saved configuration is used to reestablish the connection so that the network continues to function.

Abstract: A terminal receives a digital content which is transmitted in the form of a data stream in a network. This digital content is received by the terminal with a reception throughput, a nominal rendering time being associated with the digital content. Activation of a trick mode corresponding to a modification of the nominal rendering time according to a modification factor associated with the trick mode is detected on the terminal. Data to be requested are then determined according to the modification factor and according to a value representative of reception throughput. The data are then requested from the network and the requested data are received.

Abstract: Embodiments that are described herein provide improved methods and systems for analyzing network traffic. The disclosed embodiments enable an analytics system to perform complex processing to only new, first occurrences of received content, while refraining from processing duplicate instances of that content. In a typical embodiment, the analytics results regarding the first occurring content are reported and cached in association with the content. For any duplicate instance of the content, the analytics results are retrieved from the cache without re-processing of the duplicate content. When using the disclosed techniques, the system still processes all first occurring content but not duplicate instances of content that was previously received and processed. In the embodiments described herein, input data comprises communication packets exchanged in a communication network.

Abstract: A method for dynamic data compression includes receiving, at a first computer system, a request for data from a second computer system. A distance factor is determined, based, at least in part, on distance separating the first computer system and the second computer system. A processor loading factor is determined, based, at least in part, on one or more processor utilization percentages of the first computer system, and a network bandwidth factor is determined, based, at least in part, on bandwidth utilization of data transport fabric interconnecting the first computer system and the second computer system. A data compression selection index is calculated, based, at least in part, on the distance factor, the processor loading factor, and the network bandwidth factor. The requested data is compressed, when indicated by the calculated data compression selection index, and transmitted from the first computer system to the second computer system.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described that provide for the selection of a device from among one or more devices that is best suited to receive and process content. Upon receipt of input from a user designating a target user with whom content is to be shared, at least one device associated with the designated target user is identified. A capability of one or more of the identified devices to experience the content to be shared is then determined. One of the identified devices is then selected to receive the content at least partially based on the capability determined. In this way, the content is shared with one of the designated target user's devices that is most appropriate for receiving the particular content, providing the target user with the best experience of the content and at the same time allowing for a “user-centric” content sharing experience.
