Abstract: The present invention describes a system and a method for dynamically optimising the computing resources allocated to a client application in different data regions of one or more service providers. A number of monitoring modules are provided in each data regions, which are configured to collect operational information from each data region, which is communicated to the other data regions. As such, all data regions are aware of the operational environment of the other data regions.

Abstract: A device, system and method for changing a topology of a geographically distributed system is provided. One or more computing devices determine resource usage of an initial topology of a geographically distributed system that includes data stored at one or more initial locations and applications, that consume the data, being implemented at the one or more of initial locations. The computing device(s) determine projected resource usage of additional topologies of the geographically distributed system, the additional topologies defining respective locations, different from the one or more initial locations, where respective portions of the data and/or the applications are located. In response to an additional topology having a respective projected resource usage that is less than the resource usage of the initial topology, the computing device(s) control a respective portion of the data and/or the applications to move to the respective locations defined by the additional topology.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of analyzing a computer infrastructure providing a service, an intended quality level of the service being defined by at least one service level objective defining a service level quality objective and a related compliance level, the computer infrastructure comprising a plurality of components, the method comprising: obtaining first service level objective compliance data for a selected service level objective, the compliance data being calculated using data collected from the computer infrastructure; calculating second service level objective compliance data for the selected service level objective using in part the collected data and for a selected service level quality objective a value that meets that objective; calculating a difference between the first and second data; and identifying, based on the calculated difference, one or more components suitable for modification.

Abstract: Presented is a method and system for verifying data accuracy. The method includes defining various steps of a data flow process, specifying data structure details at each step of the data flow process by metadata, providing at least one column dedicated for auditing in every table of a data warehouse involved in the data flow process, logging details related to a task execution at each step of the data flow process in the at least one column dedicated for auditing, storing the details related to a task execution along with data structure details and providing a visual representation of the stored details.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process including accessing a metadata specification and generating a data warehouse based on the metadata specification. The metadata specification includes metadata associated with generation of the data warehouse.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing management information, comprising; a processing engine operable to receive current data and store the current data in a data store, a forecaster engine operable to read past data and current data from the data store and generate forecast data, and store the forecast data in a forecast data store, and a user interface module operable to read the past data, current data and forecast data and generate a common output in accordance with the past data, current and forecast data.

Abstract: A Process for monitoring the quality of service of the communication over an Internet or intranet network, said process being executed in a end-user terminal and comprising the steps of: establishing a session between a first end-user terminal and a service or a second end-user terminal via a signaling plane; characterized in that it further comprises the steps of: monitoring the quality of service of the communication during said session; using said signaling plane for transmitting information representative of said quality of service during said session, whereby all parties share the same information. The process is well adapted to the known SIP protocol and allow the end-users of the network to share the same QoS information relating to the communication.

Abstract: A method is provided of predicting a degree of service-quality compliance in an IT infrastructure. The method is carried out at a current point of time within an evaluation period before the end of the evaluation period, wherein service-quality compliance means that a service-quality parameter of the IT infrastructure complies with a service-quality objective. The method includes obtaining a statistic which indicates probabilities that the service-quality parameter will comply with the service-quality objective in sub-periods of the future part of the evaluation period. The statistic is based on known compliance frequencies in equivalent sub-periods in the past. A calculation, on the basis of the statistic, indicates an estimated duration in which the service-quality objective will be complied with during the future part of the evaluation period.
