Abstract: An approach is provided that selects a geographic location to which transmission of a data packet is disallowed. The approach identifies disallowed network devices that reside in the selected geographic location and builds a routing path through a public computer network through an allowed set of network devices with the allowed set of network devices does including any of the disallowed network devices. The approach then transmits the data packet from a transmitting network device to a receiving network device using the routing path.

Abstract: A computer system manages multi-stage transactions. A plurality of response time values of transaction components for a plurality of transactions are received. Two or more transactions from the plurality of transactions are selected, wherein a quantity of the selected transactions is equal to a number of the transaction components in the plurality of transactions.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for managing a storage system. Data associated with a set of tags is identified by a computer system using a policy, wherein the policy defines the set of tags for a set of types of data used in a process performed in an organization using data in the storage system. A set of storage tiers for the data associated with the set of tags is determined by the computer system using the policy. The policy defines the set of storage tiers for the data associated with the set of tags when the data associated with the set of tags is used by the process. The data associated with the set of tags is moved by the computer system to the set of storage tiers as determined using the policy.

Abstract: Computing systems, methods and collaboration tracking tools for predicting, tracking, and reporting the occurrence of unscheduled collaborations between two or more contributors to a project using computer systems equipped capabilities to transmit and/or receive location information of each individual contributor. An analytics module receiving the location information may use the location data to identify when two or more contributors to a project are in the same location together, and further predict whether the proximity of location and timing of the contributors crossing paths will predictably lead to an undocumented project-related collaboration determined as a function of location information, historical data and input collected. The collaboration tracking tools predict, report and/or record collaborations of project-related topics.

Abstract: One or more processors determine a throughput of hardware devices operatively coupled to a target Storage Area Network (SAN) prior to a SAN migration from a source SAN to the target SAN. Buffers within a processor core in the source SAN contain intermediate execution outputs of components within the processor core.

The processor(s) then configure transmission resources available to the source SAN to comport with the estimated size and time of the SAN migration from the source SAN to the target SAN.
