Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to determine an impact of a source code change on a cloud infrastructure are disclosed.

Abstract: Described are techniques to establish an on-demand, secure, point-to-point tunnel between a source device of a source network to a target device of a target network. The target network may not be visible to the source network. The target network includes a tunnel client and a tunnel server may be a perimeter device of the source network. The tunnel client may send a first message to the tunnel server. Data may be transmitted from the source to target device by including the data in a return message in response to the first message. The first message and the return message may be sent over one or more “heartbeat” connections which are continually established and torn down to transmit data between the two networks, and the source and target devices therein.

Abstract: A distributed system and method for performing network monitoring including an infrastructure management appliance located within a customer premises. The infrastructure management appliance collects and aggregates relevant information regarding the status and performance of one or more of the customer's information technology resources. The infrastructure management appliance may support some number of integrated management and reporting applications. A secure virtual connection between the infrastructure management appliance and a remote data center may be used to convey management information from the infrastructure management appliance to the data center, and also to pass information defining the customer specific configuration and functional operation of the infrastructure management appliance from the remote data center to the infrastructure management appliance.

Abstract: A system for providing a name space to a computer program, including a document representing a file system for services available on a computer system. The document defines a name space for the services, and is organized as a tree structure having multiple nodes, such as XML nodes. The nodes include at least one directory node representing a system directory, and at least one file node. A system area within the document defines type attributes corresponding the file nodes and the directory nodes, and which distinguish between the file nodes and the directory nodes. The system area further includes access control attributes for the file nodes in the document, and a physical file attribute corresponding to each the file nodes. The physical file attributes define locations of physical files corresponding to the file type nodes, while the access control attributes specify actions permitted using the physical files.
