These profiles are settable via metadata or other similar means.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for automated client-computer connection to NAS objects within a networked computer system. In certain embodiments of the present invention, a master-agent process is continuously executed on one or more computers of the networked computer system. The master agent is connected to, manages, and exchanges information with a NAS-object repository. When a client computer is booted, or reinitializes, a client agent running on a client computer communicates with the master agent in order to receive at least one executable code block for each NAS object designated for access by the client computer. By executing these executable code blocks, the client computer can automatically connect to the NAS objects. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the master agent also provides an administration interface that allows a system administrator to configure a networked computer environment with respect to client computers and NAS objects.

Abstract: A system and method for broadcasting messages to selected websites in order to provide emergency information to the U.S. populace, or zone applicable populace, from a central authority. This is achieved by implementing a “partial deflection” of a website altering the applicable zone file on a DNS server having authority over a website. Depending up which authority makes a request for broadcasting an emergency message, an emergency website is created and a partial deflection of the original entity's page is deflected to a main frame accompanying a header frame displaying the emergency alert message the emergency alert webpage. The requesting authority retains control over the content of the emergency message and can trigger the implementation of the broadcast from a variety of signal interfaces.

Abstract: A server deletes a mask object in a structured text as a part of a shared text. A client issues a mask object constituting each layout object of the structured text, according to the authority of the client, and adds the mask object to the shared text data from which the mask object received from the server is deleted. With this arrangement, information written in the shared text is made unreadable according to the authority of the user of the client, thereby achieving access control to a part of the shared text.

Abstract: A computer network includes a plurality of components governed by policies from a policy manager. Where conflicts arise between policies, a conflict management policy is inherent in the system and is implemented to detect and resolve such conflicts.

Abstract: Technology for sharing data among multiple virtual machines in a cluster of virtual machines is disclosed. Each virtual machine identifies “managed” objects of an instance of an application running at the virtual machine. The managed objects are objects for which state information is to be replicated at the other virtual machines in the cluster on which other instances of the application are running. Operations performed by an instance of one application which affect the state of managed objects are detected and distributed.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for predicting a remaining useful life (RUL) for a computer system. The system starts by collecting values for at least one telemetry metric from the computer system while the computer system is operating. The system then uses the collected values to generate a RUL prediction for the computer system or a component within the computer system.

Abstract: Provided is a Web Services Response Template (WSRT) that addresses the problems of efficiency and robustness to change in Web Services response by allowing a requestor to explicitly specify, in a response template what information is to be returned by the request. A requestor of a web service gets just the information it needs; different requestors of the same operation may get different information; and a responder sends the requestor only what is asked for so there is no problem when new information becomes available. WSRTs are specifically designed to allow the type of control needed in program-to-program (P2P) communication, while being very efficiently and simply processed by a web service. Thus, WSRTs address difficulties that arise in typical distributed, P2P communication without adding much overhead or complexity to either a service requester or a service provider.

Abstract: Configuring an n-way multi-master information sharing topology. Adding a new node (e.g., database server) to the information sharing topology can be implemented as follows. Initially, the new node is added as a slave of a particular co-master in the information sharing topology. The objects to replicate are instantiated on the new node by propagating data from the particular co-master to the new node. Furthermore, a capture process is created on the particular co-master to send changes to the objects to the slave. Meanwhile, the co-masters continue to propagate changes to each other. To promote the slave to a master, changes to objects stored at the slave are propagated to each of the co-masters. Furthermore, changes at each of the masters are propagated to the promoted node.

Abstract: An object management device using at least partially the object in the virtual space, which is divided into ordered partial space regions, as a target of management, wherein the object used as the management target has an ordering key which is defined in relation to an order related to a partial space region and calculated by a client device, and by using this ordering key, the object which is used for management is selectively defined among objects as candidates for the target of the management.

Abstract: A system, a storage manager server and a computer program product for utilizing virtual targets and abstract copy orders in preparing and servicing requests for server-free data transfer operations in a data storage network. The abstract copy orders represent data transfers between virtual targets and real devices. They allow source target copy orders to be prepared separately from destination target copy orders. The abstract copy orders may then be converted into concrete copy orders involving only real device targets for execution by a data mover that implements the server-free data transfer operations.
