Abstract: A node grouping system for grouping a plurality of nodes of a computer system, includes: a processor; a memory operatively coupled to the processor; a node aggregator component comprising instructions stored in the memory and operable to cause the system, under control of the processor, to group the plurality of nodes by: comparing first characteristics of a first node of the plurality of nodes with first grouping criteria of a first group to determine if the first characteristics satisfy the first grouping criteria; grouping the first node with the first group based on a determination that the first characteristics satisfy the first grouping criteria; and storing the grouping within the memory; and an interface component comprising instructions stored in the memory and operable to cause said system, under control of the processor, to display the grouping comprising the first node.

Abstract: A node grouping system for grouping a plurality of nodes of a computer system, said node grouping system comprising: a processor; a memory operatively coupled to said processor; a node aggregator component comprising instructions stored in said memory and operable to cause said system, under control of said processor, to group said plurality of nodes by: comparing first characteristics of a first node of said plurality of nodes with first grouping criteria of a first group to determine if said first characteristics satisfy said first grouping criteria; grouping said first node with said first group based on a determination that said first characteristics satisfy said first grouping criteria; and storing said grouping within said memory; and an interface component comprising instructions stored in said memory and operable to cause said system, under control of said processor, to display said grouping comprising said first node.

Abstract: A program analysis system for evaluating a target program on a target computer system, said program analysis system comprising: a processor; a memory operatively coupled to said processor; a program analyzer component comprising instructions stored in said memory and operable to cause said system, to analyze said target computer system to identify first information characteristics of said target program; an information determiner component comprising instructions stored in said memory and operable to cause said system, to review one or more of information sources external from said target computer system to identify second information characteristics associated with said target program; and an information fuser component comprising instructions stored in said memory and operable to cause said system, to fuse said first information characteristics and said second information characteristics to generate fused information and store information associating said first and second information characteristics within

Abstract: A method, user interface and system are provided that enable a user to monitor an information technology (“IT”) service that is provided via an electronics communications network. A user is visually presented with values that indicate a probability of IT service degradation or failure. A unified monitor automatically employs a set of parametric sensors to develop a comprehensive view of users cloud service providers and assess the robustness and security of specified services. The monitor combines relevant information that may affect a user's confidence in services and applies algorithms to assess and forecast service reliability at any given time by vendor and dedicated computational assets. The monitor may present service predictions and reliability assessments through a visual dashboard along with available or recommended mitigation actions.
