  • Real-time performance modeling of application in distributed environment and method of use
    Patent number: 8521501
    Abstract: A system and method of managing computing systems and, more particularly, to a system and method for modeling applications in a network. The method includes determining dependency of components in a shared distributed computing environment and measuring consumption of the dependent components. The method further includes building a model to compare component behavior with a current load of the dependent components to optimize component performance or to find a deviation and hence a “troubled spot”. The system includes a local agent configured to perform the method and to provide data to a centralized storage.

  • Method, apparatus and program product for remotely restoring a non-responsive computing system
    Patent number: 8055725
    Abstract: A method for restoring a remote server that is not responding due to a memory constraint is provided. The method comprises providing a remote server connected to a network communications channel, pinning a reserve memory segment program to the memory in the remote server to control a reserve memory segment allocated within the memory in the remote server when a memory constraint arises. The method further comprises continuously running the reserve memory segment program to listen for a request packet to release the reserve memory segment that is allocated, releasing the reserve memory segment within the memory in the remote server in response to the request packet received, and performing any corrective action at the remote server for restoring the remote server when the reserve memory segment is released.
