Abstract: A system for a heap dump conversion comprises a network storage device comprising a core dump file, a first server coupled to the network storage device, and a second server coupled to the network storage device and to the first server, where the second server receives a notification associated with the core dump file, obtains metadata information from the core dump file in response to receiving the notification, autonomously converts the core dump file into a heap dump file using the metadata information, and stores the heap dump file in the network storage device.

Abstract: A storage system for application servers is disclosed. The storage system comprises a network-attached storage device comprising a plurality of files that include a plurality of server applications in a plurality of network zone directories. Each of the network zone directories corresponds to one of a plurality of network zones. Access is restricted between each of the network zones. The storage system also comprises one or more application servers in each of the network zones. Each application server is configured to mount only a network zone directory of the network zone directories corresponding to a network zone of the network zones within which the corresponding application server resides based on a policy associated with the network-attached storage device and access one or more of the files including at least one server application of the server applications in the network zone directory.

Abstract: A suite of software tools performs data mining on data periodically extracted from one or more Multiple Listing Service (MLS) databases to support the management of a real estate business. Data relating to properties listed or sold by units of the business, such as agents, offices, regions, or the entire business, are extracted and aggregated at each hierarchical level. Novel performance metrics are defined, calculated, tracked and displayed in a consistent manner across hierarchical levels. The similarity of views of the data facilitate communication across organizational levels and support improved productivity. The tools may access MLS-derived real estate data associated with other properties to perform market analysis—including both market share by selected competitors and overall market trends—to support pricing of properties, and to discover and recruit high performance personnel.
