Abstract: Described herein are methods and a system for to optimize utilization of rack space supporting components of an existing client site rack. Real time data as to the rack space is collected, along with an objective function as to expansion. Information as to an initial design configuration is retrieved. A reinforcement learning algorithm processes real time data, the objective function, and initial design configuration to determine a deployment recommendation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the managed systems may need to operate in a predetermined manner conducive to, for example, execution of applications that provide the computer implemented services. Similarly, the managed system may need access to certain hardware resources (e.g., and also software resources such as drivers, firmware, etc.) to provide the desired computer implemented services. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, the managed systems may be managed using a subscription based model. The subscription model may utilize a highly accessible service to facilitate system management. To facilitate system management, the highly available service may utilize various types of reporting models to identify use of the managed systems. The identified use may be used to drive management decisions.

To provide the computer implemented services, the managed systems may need to operate in a predetermined manner conducive to, for example, execution of applications that provide the computer implemented services. Similarly, the managed system may need access to certain hardware resources and software resources to provide the desired computer implemented services. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, the managed devices may be managed using a subscription based model. The subscription model may utilize a highly accessible service to facilitate system management. To facilitate system management, the highly available service may take into account both historic use of managed systems and changes to subscriptions to ascertain point in time when subscription limits may be reached. The identified points in time may be used to drive management decisions.

To provide the computer implemented services, the managed systems may need to operate in a predetermined manner conducive to, for example, execution of applications that provide the computer implemented services. Similarly, the managed system may need access to certain hardware resources (e.g., and also software resources such as drivers, firmware, etc.) to provide the desired computer implemented services. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, the managed devices may be managed using a dynamic reporting model. The dynamic reporting model may facilitate reduction and increasing in computing resources used for reporting dynamically as the operation of the managed system change. The dynamic reporting model may be used to limit overhead for reporting.

Abstract: In a Fibre Channel network (102), Registered State Change Notifications (RSCNs) are limited by the nodes' roles—target or initiator. If a state change occurs at a target (110s), then the RSCNs are sent to all the nodes (110) in the same zone as the target. But if a state change occurs at an initiator, the RSCNs are sent only to targets, not initiators (110h), to reduce RSCN traffic. Other features are also provided.
