  • Publication number: 20110213508
    Abstract: A system and associated method for optimizing power consumption of a data center by dynamic workload adjustment. A current workload distribution of the data center is shifted to an optimal workload solution that provides acceptable level of service with the least amount of power consumption. The sum of power cost and migration cost that corresponds to the optimal workload solution is the lowest among all sums that correspond to respective candidate workload solutions. The power cost is determined by a maximum temperature of the data center and accompanying cooling cost for each candidate workload solution. The migration cost is determined by performance degradation that occurs during shifting a workload distribution of the data center from the current workload distribution to each candidate workload solution.

  • Patent number: 7992031
    Abstract: A system and associated method for automated disaster recovery (DR) planning. A DR planning process receives disaster recovery requirements and a target environment configuration from a user to design DR plans for the target environment configuration that meets disaster recovery requirements. The DR planning process accesses a knowledgebase containing information on replication technologies, best practice recipes, and past deployment instances. The DR planning process creates the DR plans by analyzing the disaster recovery requirements into element risks, associating replication technologies to protect each element risks, combining associated replication technologies based on the best practice recipes, and selecting highly evaluated combination based on the past deployment instances. The DR planning process presents the DR plans as classified by replication strategy-architecture combination for each DR plans and marks how strongly each DR plans are recommended.

  • Publication number: 20110138391
    Abstract: A system and associated method for continuously optimizing data archive management scheduling. A job scheduler receives, from an archive management system, inputs of task information, replica placement data, infrastructure topology data, and resource performance data. The job scheduler models a flow network that represents data content, software programs, physical devices, and communication capacity of the archive management system in various levels of vertices according to the received inputs. An optimal path in the modeled flow network is computed as an initial schedule, and the archive management system performs tasks according to the initial schedule. The operations of scheduled tasks are monitored and the job scheduler produces a new schedule based on feedbacks of the monitored operations and predefined heuristics.

  • Publication number: 20110055621
    Abstract: A system and associated method for replicating data based on capacity optimization. A local node receives the data associated with a key. The local node within a local domain communicates with nodes of remote domains in a system through a communication network. Each domain has its own distributed hash table that partitions key space and assigns a certain key range to an owner node within the domain. For new data, the local node queries owner nodes of domains in the system progressively from the local domain to remote domains for a duplicate of the new data. Depending on a result returned by owner nodes and factors for replication strategies, the local node determines a replication strategy and records the new data in the local node pursuant to the replication strategy.

  • Patent number: 6044356
    Abstract: A plurality of near-optimum solutions to allocations of resources to demand information are provided by consideration of different combinations of sources of resource information such as inventory and performance/production capacity of a provider and/or other providers by the use of one or more algorithm/agents and a problem formulator which selects algorithms to be applied and provides selected information from selected sources of resource information thereto. The effects of actions or allocations specified in the solutions are presented to a user for comparison, modification and selection for implementation. Effects of modified solutions are also projected for comparison with other solutions or modified solutions.
