Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include presenting a visual information that conveys information about health data associated with a large number of network devices or a large number of attributes of one or more network devices. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting performance indicator data and determining a plurality of health status values based on a health status rule; grouping the health status values, based on how many health status values are in the plurality of health status values, into a plurality of health status groups, wherein each of the health status groups includes a subset of the health status values, and wherein each of the health status values within each subset are related to each of the other health status values in the subset; and determining, for each of the health status groups, a group health status value.

Abstract: A method for delivering streaming media files to a plurality of end users from a streaming media delivery system including a filer for storing the media files and a streaming server for serving the media files generally includes the steps of monitoring demand for the streaming media files, identifying at least one of the streaming media files to be cached when demand for the at least one of the streaming media files reaches a pre-defined threshold, copying the streaming media file to a streaming server from a media storage device, and streaming the streaming media file using the copy stored locally on the streaming server.
