Abstract: Data that includes information about an application is retrieved from a data feed. It is determined that the data from the data feed indicates that the application has been updated. In response to a determination that the data from the data feed indicates that the application has been updated, data descriptive of the application is extracted from the data from the data feed. One or more instructions for installing the application are determined based, at least in part, on the data descriptive of the application. In response to determination of the one or more instructions for installing the application, a first virtual machine skeleton that includes the one or more instructions for installing the application is generated.

Abstract: A system is provided to monitor network performances. The system maintains a database of performance abnormalities, alarms and events from a system of monitored elements. The system automatically identifies a possible cause of a specific alarm by correlating the specific alarm with a plurality of events using the database. The system displays the cause of the specific alarm. The database includes alarms and events of network devices, network systems, and network applications. The specific alarm consists of a notification of an occurrence of the plurality of events.

Abstract: A method and system for partitioning a computer system into multiple virtual machines is disclosed. The system may include multiple logical partitions, each with their own set of physical resources controlled by a partition processor. The system may also include an external processor that maintains a map of what resources belong to what partitions. The logical partitions within the system may maintain a peer-to-peer relationship.
