Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media associated with using historic analytic data to identify shipping options for a user to use when shipping a package. Historic analytic data may be received and maintained by a package shipment facilitation system. The analytics may then be used to generate business rules which may be applied to parameters for a package that is to be shipped. Through application of the business rules, one or more preferred shipping options may be identified. Business rules may be received after being manually-generated by a user, or may be automatically generated based at least in part on the maintained historic analytics. After a shipping option is chosen for the package, a shipping label may be printed for the package, and the package may be entered into a carrier's system for processing.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for receiving data associated with one or more system metrics, contextually analyzing that data in view of prior received data of other computer systems of different subscriber enterprises, determining, based at least in part on the results of the contextual analysis, if an alert needs to be sent, and sending or causing to be sent an alert, are described herein. In various embodiments, the methods and apparatuses are further for managing computer systems of subscriber enterprises, including providing updated operating images. Other embodiments may also be disclosed.

Abstract: The principles of the present invention provide for categorizing electronic messages based on trust between electronic messaging entities. Messaging servers maintain trust lists indicating levels of trust between electronic messaging entities. Trust lists can be generated from existing trust information, such as, for example, address book entries. Messaging servers also maintain activity stores that indicate messaging activity between messaging entities. Based on information in a trust list and, when appropriate, information in an activity store, a messaging server can categorize an accessed electronic message, such as, for example, as unwanted and/or unsolicited. Messaging servers can securely exchange trust list information to increase the possibility of identifying a level of trust between messaging entities, even between messaging entities that have not previously exchanged electronic messages.

Abstract: An interactive management system comprised of a server environment and one or more target client environments coupled to a management server of the server environment is described herein. The target client environments may each have one or more target client systems, the target client systems each having a command agent. Each target client environment may also be protected by a firewall. In some embodiments, a commander server of the server environment may receive a request for one or more commands from a target client system. In response, the command server may send commands to the command agent of the requesting target client system, effectively giving the command server the same privileges as other processes protected by the target client environment firewall. The command agent may then receive the commands, execute the commands, and transmit results and/or post-execution information to the command server.
