Abstract: Performance of a collection of machines, arranged in a linear sequence of machines that form a linear communication orbit (LCO), is monitored. Multiple machines in the LCO receive, via the LCO, a set of rules (or various subsets of the same set of rules), each rule specifying one or a combination of conditions (e.g., a performance metric and corresponding criterion) for satisfying the rule, evaluate those rules with respect to locally occurring events and local processes, and store results of those evaluations in a local database. In response to a query sent to the machines via the LCO, each of the machines returns a report, including information identifying processes whose performance during the specified time period satisfies at least one rule in the set of one or more rules. Those reports are aggregated and used to generate a merged report reflecting performance information with respect to a set of machines.

Abstract: A device may generate information to cause the display of a graphical user interface (GUI) element reflecting how a selected enterprise network is performing on a technology assessment metric relative to other enterprise networks, where the generating includes: determining, based on data values reflecting individual performance of the plurality enterprise networks on the technology assessment metric, a part of a normal distribution curve to be shown, a first point to be shown on the part of the normal distribution curve indicating a percentile for the data value reflecting the individual performance of the selected enterprise network, and a second point along the part of the normal distribution curve reflecting a goal for the individual performance of the selected enterprise network. A device may send, to a client device, the information to cause the GUI element to be presented in a dashboard on the graphical user interface of the client device.

Abstract: A vehicle including: a first row of one or more first-type storage devices, each first-type storage device including a first carrier configured to be moved outwards from a first stowed position to a first deployed position substantially outside the footprint of the vehicle; a second row of one or more second-type storage devices located vertically above the first row of first-type storage devices, wherein each of the one or more second-type storage devices comprises a second carrier configured to be moved outwards from a second stowed position to a second deployed position substantially outside the footprint of the vehicle; wherein the spatial volume occupied by one of the second carriers when in the second deployed position occupies at least a portion of the spatial volume occupied by one of the first carriers when in the first deployed position.

Abstract: A cloud service to facilitate performance by a first organization of an assessment of an enterprise network of a second organization is described. According to one aspect, the cloud service performs the following operations with approval from the second organization. Specifically, the cloud service causes client software to be installed on a plurality of endpoints within the enterprise network to determine a first information regarding a current state of those endpoints. Also, the cloud service receives a second information that is based on the first information, and then causes a third information to be securely shared with the first organization. The third information is the second information or is based on the second information, and the third information is limited, through a set of one or more mechanisms, to that considered to be acceptable to share with another organization.
