Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for optimizing business continuity in IT environments. One such method involves comparing a representation and a template. The representation represents units of computing entities, and relationships between the units of computing entities. The method determines whether a system represented by the representation meets a threshold represented by the template based on a result of the comparing, and provides a result of the determining. The threshold can established by a disaster recovery site, a service level agreement, or a configuration drift, and the result of the determining can be used to evaluate the disaster recovery site, the service level agreement, or the configuration drift.

Abstract: A real-time Internet streaming system and method includes a scheduling server that receives queries from media streaming devices and determines if any scheduled events associated with a particular media streaming devices is an active scheduled event by comparing the scheduled events with time and date information. When there is an active scheduled event the scheduling server sends a response to the media streaming device to stream a media stream to a media server. When the scheduling server determines that an active scheduled event is no longer active, the scheduling server sends a response to the media streaming device to stop streaming. The media server can send the media stream or a resampled version of the media stream to a plurality of viewing devices or archive the media stream for later playback. The real-time Internet streaming system can include a scheduling server, media servers, and a plurality of media streaming devices.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for integration, provisioning and management of entities and processes in a computing system such as, by way of example only, business entities and business processes. In particular, techniques are disclosed for ontology based resource provisioning and management for services.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for selectively broadcasting information from a sender's computer to one or more recipient computers in real-time. A user connects to a networked content server and browses selected content items which are determined to be of interest to other collaborators. The user activates a content sharing mode and indicates which content is to be shared. A reference to the shared content is sent to the server which in turn pushes the referenced content to identified content recipients. Content recipients can be identified based on a variety of factors, such as by subscription to a listening channel opened by the content sender, by individual selection by the content sender, and/or by geolocation. The shared content can be automatically displayed to each identified content recipient non-intrusively. Content can be pushed to the content recipients via a persistent open communication channel established between the content server and content recipients.
