Abstract: A service window optimized system alert engine is disclosed for automated generation and delivery of alerts relating to detected conditions of a monitored system. The service window optimized system alert engine comprises a state monitor, a system configuration and history module, an alert generator, and an alert router. The state monitor is configured to send status data of the monitored system to the alert generator. The system configuration and history module provides information to the alert generator specifying an alert generation policy established for the monitored system. The alert generator is configured to process the status data from the state monitor in accordance with the alert generation policy specified by the system configuration and history module to generate at least one alert. The alert router is configured to determine optimal delivery characteristics for the generated alert and to deliver the alert in accordance with the optimal delivery characteristics.

Abstract: A data storage system includes at least one network virtualization-aware switch. The data storage system also includes at least one storage array operatively coupled to the network virtualization-aware switch, wherein the storage array is operatively coupled to at least one host computing device, and wherein the host computing device instantiates at least one virtual machine in at least one virtual network. Further, the data storage system includes at least one controller operatively coupled to the network virtualization-aware switch, wherein the controller is configured to link the storage array with the virtual machine of the virtual network through the network virtualization-aware switch.

Abstract: Session information is received in a processing device and processed to generate a message in a message queuing protocol format. The resulting message is provided to a message queuing protocol server. The session information may comprise at least a portion of a session initiation protocol (SIP) message, and may be received in a SIP component, which may comprise a SIP endpoint. In processing the session information to generate the message in the message queuing protocol format, at least a portion of the session information may be incorporated into an advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP) message that is transmitted to an AMQP server. The SIP component may comprise a user agent coupled to an AMQP message listener and an AMQP message sender. The SIP component may also receive an AMQP message from the AMQP server, process the message to generate session information, and provide the session information to a user device.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for provisioning virtual machines via content-centric networking approach in a computing system implemented with a distributed virtual infrastructure. In one example, a method comprises the following steps. A virtual machine template is obtained. The virtual machine template defines one or more segments which represent one or more content portions. The one or more content portions are addressable in accordance with a content-centric network communications protocol. At least one virtual machine is deployed from the virtual machine template. The generating and deploying steps are performed on one or more physical processing elements associated with a computing system implemented via a distributed virtual infrastructure.

Abstract: A common information model (CIM) message received in a processing device of an information processing system is transformed to a message in a designated message queuing protocol format, such as an advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP) message format. The transformed message is then posted or otherwise provided to a message queuing protocol server. The CIM message may comprise, for example, a CIM notification received in a CIM client from a CIM server, responsive to an indication subscription from the CIM client. The transformation of the CIM message to the message in the designated message queuing protocol format may more particularly involve, for example, transforming a CIM notification associated with the CIM message to a CIM instance object, transforming the CIM instance object to an alerting object, and transforming the alerting object to an AMQP message. One or more of these operations may be performed in a CIM transform module.
