Abstract: A service cooperation support system transmits a creation request concerning an external service to a service management system having a creation function concerning the external service, when a flow on a flow editing screen includes a service using node, and a user request for connecting the external service to the service using node is detected, and the system acquires, from the service management system, connection information (information created by the service management system) for connection to the external service created by the service management system in response to the creation request. The service cooperation support system sets the acquired connection information in the property of the service using node.

Abstract: To provide a user who reuses a flow edited by using visual programming with useful flow change related information, a code management system manages codes before and after editing of a flow edited by the user using visual programming, with a code management tool capable of version management, obtains a logic change degree that is an index indicating a degree of change in a logic related difference of differences before and after the code change and a layout change degree that is an index indicating a degree of change in a layout related difference of the differences before and after the code change, and outputs information based on the logic change degree and the layout change degree.

Abstract: When flow data of flow is to be downloaded from a flow template manager to a flow editor, a system receives a first request to deploy an external service corresponding to an invoke node in the flow, and transmits a second request to deploy an external service identified by the first request to a service deployment manager associated with a site corresponding to the external service. The service deployment manager deploys an external service identified by the second request on a service execution platform at the site, and returns a response associated with an invocation destination end point corresponding to the external service. The system returns a first response associated with an invocation destination end point set to a property of the invoke node by the flow template manager to a transmission source of the first request.

Abstract: Example implementations involve a plurality of servers, network, and storage systems, wherein some of the servers may execute data programs and store primary data in the memory of the servers. Some of the servers may also execute a standby data program. Storage devices may provide for a snapshot volume, a log volume, and a recovery volume, and executes a recovery program to store a recovery image into the recovery volume from the data of the snapshot volume and the log volume. On failure of the server, the standby data program loads the recovery image of the recovery volume, which can reduce the time to commit logs to the snapshot image.

Abstract: Examples implementations described herein involve systems and methods wherein the storage software is configured to consider the capabilities of the underlying hardware to determine the caching data method at run time. Some examples of capabilities that are considered in the example implementations include whether non-volatile memory (NVM) is available and how much NVM is available. Some examples of caching methods used include using both dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and NVM to cache write data and using only NVM to cache write data.

Abstract: The management system according to the present invention, which manages a plurality of computers, manages instances that are implemented using allocated from the plurality of computers, and selects, from among a plurality of different instance implementation methods, an instance implementation method that matches instance configuration information, which is information including settings for configuring an instance and which includes particular settings, each indicating whether the instance needs to monopolize a physical resource, said selection being based the instance configuration information. The plurality of computers provide physical resources to the instance on the basis of the selected instance implementation method.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to systems and methods involving an application running on a host computer and configured to manage storage infrastructure. The application not only manages resources already allocated to itself, but also manages the allocation and de-allocation of resources to itself. The resources can be allocated and de-allocated based on the type of process being executed, wherein upon occurrence of a failure on a primary storage system, higher priority processes that are executed on connected failover storage system nodes are given priority while the lower priority processes of such failover storage system nodes are disabled.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to replication of data between different environments selectively while maintaining the performance of applications. The replication of data may be used to replicate data from a data center running a business critical application to another data center running an analytics application. In example implementations, a storage management program translates the IDs of database tables to storage locations, and the storage management program requests a storage system to replicate those storage locations to another storage system.

Abstract: A computer system according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention has a server and a storage subsystem, wherein the server is configured to enable data write to a cache area of the storage subsystem. Further, the server manages the usages of the cache area. When storing data from the server to the cache area, the server determines whether a data-writable area exists in the cache area or not. If there is a writable area, data is stored in the writable area.

Abstract: A management server acquires storage and application information from a first system to store the information. The storage information includes storage area correspondence information indicating a correspondence between a storage area and a processor. The application information includes application correspondence information indicating a correspondence between the processor and an application, and application configuration information indicating a past Input/Output (IO) load on the storage area. The management server estimates an IO load on the storage area by the application based on the storage and application information to obtain an estimated value, and determines whether or not a copy processable period, a period in which a copy process of data can be performed is present, based on the data size and the estimated value. When the copy processable period is present, the management server transmits a copy indication including a start time of the copy processable period to a copy processing server.
