  • Managing an information technology system
    Patent number: 8589200
    Abstract: According to one example, there is provided a method of managing an information technology (IT) system that comprising items of IT equipment. The method comprises obtaining a set of characteristics from items of IT equipment in the IT system, generating, using the obtained sets of characteristics, a consolidated set of characteristics representing at least part of the IT system, identifying, based on the generated consolidated set of characteristics, an item of IT equipment to be replaced, determining a set of minimum characteristics for a replacement item to replace the identified item; and selecting, from an IT equipment database, based on the determined characteristics, a replacement item of IT equipment.

  • Method and system for visualizing distributed systems
    Patent number: 7966363
    Abstract: Monitoring distributed systems includes receiving availability parameters for distributed systems. A distributed system corresponds to at least one distributed system group. A status of at least one distributed system is determined according to the availability parameters. Grid map image data is generated that is operable to initiate display of a grid map. The grid map includes one or more areas. An area corresponds to a distributed system group. An area includes one or more cells. A cell has a status indicator indicating the status of at least one distributed system. A cell also has a display size indicating a relative importance of at least one distributed system. The grid map image data is transmitted to a client in order to display the grid map.
