  • Patent number: 11295243
    Abstract: A system and method for cost-based migration planning includes determining cost factors and constraints associated with at least one of migrating and transforming a plurality of components. A cost-based model is constructed using the cost factors and constraints. The cost-based model is applied to groupings of the plurality of components to provide a cost-based determination grouping scheme in accordance with the constraints. The grouping scheme is output to provide migration waves for migrating or transforming the plurality of components.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9960974
    Abstract: Analytics and visualization for logical dependency mapping of computer servers may be provided. Data collected from computer servers is received and analyzed to discover logical dependencies among the computer servers, for example, to discover communications between one or more of operating systems, middleware and applications associated with the computer servers. The computer servers may be grouped into one or more dependency groups based at least on a user-defined grouping criterion. The one or more dependency groups and their logical dependencies may be output.

  • Patent number: 7078376
    Abstract: The invention discloses several novel therapeutic properties and methods of treatment using the recombinant erythropoietin prepared by expression from the Apa I restriction fragment of human genomic erythropoietin DNA transformed into baby hamster kidney cells (BHK) according to U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,697 to Powell. This recombinant erythropoietin designated herein as Epoetin Omega is shown to possesses several unexpected and superior qualities over other recombinant erythropoietins such as those designated Epoetin Alfa and Beta which are prepared from genomic or cDNA expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) according to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,703,008 and 5,955,422 to Lin. The superior properties of Epoetin Omega include, but are not limited to, a much higher potency, a much more rapid response (i.e.
