Abstract: In a first file storage apparatus, a first controller, which manages a first file system comprising a plurality of files, transfers a copy of the first file to a second file storage apparatus when managing the first file, manages the copy of the first file as a first replication file, configures the replication destination of the first replication file in the first file as a first pointer and, when processing a second file as a de-duplication target file, manages the first replication file as a copy of the first file and second file, configures a first pointer in the second file, and deletes the first data on condition that the storage destination of the first data which comprises the first file has been configured in the first file, or deletes the second data on condition that the storage destination of the second data which comprises the second file has been configured in the second file.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a plurality of edge nodes to provide services relating to files, and a core node communicatively coupled to each of the edge nodes and configured to send or receive data of the files to or from the edge nodes and to manage the data of the files. Any one of the edge nodes is granted a first access right permitting update of the files, whereas any two or more of the edge nodes are granted a second access right to prohibit update of the files. The core node stores the access right granted to each of the edge nodes. When detecting that a failure has occurred in the edge node granted the first access right, the core node sends one of the edge nodes granted the second access right a first instruction to take over the first access right granted to the failed edge node.

Abstract: A management apparatus for managing a computer system stores configuration information of multiple management-target apparatuses based on multiple first information received from multiple management-target apparatuses. The management apparatus, based on the configuration information and multiple additional component application condition information, determines whether or not to use multiple additional component information to acquire multiple second information from the multiple management-target apparatuses. The management apparatus, in a case where a determination to carry out acquisition is made, uses the multiple additional component information to receive the multiple second information from the multiple management-target apparatuses, and based on the multiple second information, either creates or updates the management information of the multiple management-target apparatuses.

Abstract: A management system, which manages multiple monitoring target apparatuses, computes a certainty factor denoting the probability that a certain configuration change is the root cause of a performance failure that has occurred in a certain monitoring target apparatus based on rule information, computer system performance information, and a configuration change history, and displays management information from the standpoint of the configuration change based on the computation result.

Abstract: [The present invention] improves the user-friendliness of a software distribution management system that uses representative clients. The computer system according to the present invention comprises a plurality of clients, a server computer that includes software to be distributed to one or more of the plurality of the clients, and a network for coupling the server computer to the plurality of client computers. Based on information from the plurality of clients, the server computer classifies the plurality of clients into a plurality of groups, selects a representative client for each group, and executes distribution of the software to the representative clients. The representative clients that have received the software distribution distribute the software to the other clients belonging to the same group. The server computer outputs management display information to a management screen on the basis of software distribution management information.

Abstract: A computer system executes a procedure by which a service broker accepts registration of interactive service; executes a procedure by which the service broker accepts a request from a client terminal to provide the interactive service; executes a procedure by which the service broker selects servers allowed to provide resources requested by the interactive service as candidates for the destination of arrangement of the interactive service; executes a procedure by which the service broker specifies a server as the destination of arrangement of the interactive service from the candidates for the destination of arrangement on the basis of the provision quality of the interactive service between each server and the client terminal; and executes a procedure by which the service broker arranges the interactive service stored in a memory, in the specified server.

Abstract: A method for collecting log information relating to specific processing from pieces of log information for integration is disclosed. Session information, which is given every time log information is processed and included in the log information held by a server, is recorded in a session-information management table. In addition, how session information associates with others among different pieces of log information is recorded in a session-information association table. Recursively searching the session-information association table by use of session information specified by a user through a target log entry input unit enables identification of a set of session information relating to the processing to which the user pays attention. Information corresponding to each of the session information related is collected from log information, and is integrated according to the recorded data and time of a log.

Abstract: A method that allows a Web system at a transition destination to effectively grasps transitions of access destinations among Web pages provided by independent Web systems. When the user changes an access destination between two Web pages, the user operates an URL link provided in a transition source Web page to change the access destination. As the URL link is operated, its HTTP request is transferred to a transition source Web system that provides the transition source Web page. The transition source Web system decides certification information according to a contract agreed with a Web system that provides a transition destination Web page that is a transition destination indicated by the URL link, and returns to the user information including identification information that specifies the transition destination Web page and the certification information.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for automatically storing a referred electronic document in a database and notifying new information to a user. In response to a request issued from a document display control unit 106, a request relay unit 108 acquires a document from a document information management unit 113 and stores it in a document database 117. When a document which matches an interested item 112 is stored, an information monitor unit 111 notifies it to the user.
