Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for monitoring, scheduling, and performance management for virtualization infrastructures within networks. In one example, a computing system includes a plurality of different cloud-based compute clusters (e.g., different cloud projects), each comprising a set of compute nodes. Policy agents execute on the compute nodes to monitor performance and usage metrics relating to resources of the compute nodes. Policy controllers within each cluster deploy policies to the policy agents and evaluate performance and usage metrics from the policy agents by application of one or more rulesets for infrastructure elements of the compute cluster. Each of the policy controllers outputs data to a multi-cluster dashboard software system indicative of a current health status for the infrastructure elements based on the evaluation of the performance and usage metrics for the cluster.

Abstract: A method of monitoring status information of devices is described. The method includes establishing a first connection to a hardware resource executing a cloud extension agent on a local network, over a wide area network external from the local network and separated by at least one firewall, using a standard internet protocol. The method further includes sending, via the first connection, a first set of instructions to manage a first set of mobile devices by one or more local servers on the local network; and receiving status information via the secure network connection, wherein the status information is from the one or more local servers on the local network associated with a plurality of devices that access the one or more local servers.

Abstract: A first cloud extension agent that facilitates internet-based management of a first set of local computing resources of a network is provided by a remote network management platform. A first connection is established to the first cloud extension agent. A second cloud extension agent that facilitates internet-based management of a second set of local computing resources of a network is provided by the remote network management platform. A second connection is established to the second cloud extension agent. A first set of instructions is provided to the first cloud extension via the first connection and a second set of instructions is provided to the second cloud extension via the second connection.

Abstract: A software upgrade to be deployed by a cloud extension agent is received by a remote network management platform, the cloud extension agent running locally on a network and initiating an outbound connection to the remote network management platform through a firewall of the network. A command is generated for the software upgrade, the command comprising an identification of a source of the software upgrade. The command is provided to the cloud extension agent, wherein providing the command causes the cloud extension agent to acquire the software upgrade from the identified source and deploy the software upgrade.

Abstract: An electrical power subsystem includes a generator comprising a generator stator and a generator rotor, and a power converter electrically coupled to the generator. The power converter includes a plurality of rotor-side converters electrically coupled in parallel, a line-side converter, and a regulated DC link electrically coupling the plurality of rotor-side converters and the line-side converter. The electrical power subsystem further includes a stator power path for providing power from the generator stator to the power grid, and a converter power path for providing power from the generator rotor through the power converter to the power grid.

Abstract: A variety of different graphical user interfaces are generated that when displayed provide a visual and interactive representation of one or more performance metrics associated with the operation of a computer network. The graphical user interfaces may be used to monitor the underlay computer network for a virtualization infrastructure, as one example. Aspects include grouping the servers of a computer network into a plurality of aggregates, each aggregate comprising one or more servers. A set of probes are configured that are issued by an agent of a server in one aggregate and sent through the computer network to one or more agents in the server(s) of a different aggregate. Responses and other measurements taken based on the issuance of the probes is gathered and analyzed to generate metrics that are then used to generate, at least in part, the information provided in the graphical user interfaces.

Abstract: A system and method of automated downtime scheduling and control is disclosed. A failure of at least one component of at least one bare-metal server associated with a client is detected and a first notification is transmitted to a client system associated with the client. The notification includes a request to schedule downtime. A response including a selected downtime is received from the client system and the at least one bare-metal server is transitioned to an offline state at the selected downtime. A ticket is generated in a ticketing system for repair of the bare-metal server. The ticket identifies the at least one component.

Abstract: A policy controller executes algorithms to operate on a list of devices forming a computer network to generate outputs including one or more graphic user interfaces. The graphic user interfaces, when displayed on a display device, provide various versions of a visual representation of a network topology for the actual computer network or a computer network being modeled. The graphic user interfaces include graphic symbols representative of various devices included in the computer network that are arranged into one or more radial arrangements. The graphic user interfaces include graphic lines indicative of the physical interconnections between the devices, the graphic lines extending across the radial arrangement(s) and extending between the graphic symbols representative of devices to provide a visual representation of the interconnections that communicatively couple the devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may relate to providing a dynamically configurable circuitry able to process data associated with a variety of matrix dimensions one or more complex number operations, one or more real number operations, or both. Configurations may be applied to the configurable circuitry to program the configurable circuitry for a next operation. The configurable circuitry may process data according to a variety of operations based at least in part on operation of a repeated processing element coupled in a compute network of processing elements.

Abstract: A cloud extension agent can be provided on a customer premise for interfacing, via an outbound secure connection, cloud based services. The cloud extension agent can reach the cloud based services through existing firewall infrastructure, thereby providing simple, secure deployment. Furthermore, the secure connection can enable substantially real-time communication with a cloud service to provide web-based, substantially real time control or management of resources on the customer premises via the cloud extension agent.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the need for improved virtualized cloud infrastructure policy implementation and management in order allow real-time monitoring and optimization of virtualized resources. It provides systems and methods for real-time cloud infrastructure policy implementation and management that include a plurality of host devices, a plurality of real-time probe agents associated with the plurality of host devices operating on each of the plurality of host devices, and a policy engine communicatively coupled to the plurality of host devices and containing a policy associated with an application program deployed in at least one of the plurality of host devices. The policy engine is programmed to monitor in real time changes in deployment of the application program across the plurality of host devices and to push the policy to the real-time probe agent operating on each host device on which the application program is deployed.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for presenting information about a network, virtualization infrastructure, cluster, or other computing environment, and may involve presentation of user interfaces that may enable nuanced, unique, and/or comprehensive insights into how infrastructure elements and computing resources are being used and information about patterns of usage and/or utilization. This disclosure also describes techniques for communicating, within a computing system, information used to create, update, and/or modify the user interfaces that present information about a network, virtualization infrastructure, cluster, or other computing environment.
