Abstract: In an embodiment, a power management system includes a detection unit configured to detect a power interruption to a power supply. The system further includes a communication interface configured to, in response to the detected power interruption, provide a message regarding the detected power interruption. In response to the detected power interruption, a computer network switch provides notifications to a plurality of servers connected to the switch to allow the plurality of servers to prepare for a loss in power.

Abstract: Methods, systems, or apparatus may be directed to hosting, by a virtual machine manager of a local machine, a virtual machine having a device driver. A virtual machine manager may obtain, from a stub driver on a remote machine, information about the I/O device on the remote machine. The I/O device may be bound to a stub driver on the remote machine. The virtual machine manager may instantiate a virtual I/O device on the local machine corresponding to the I/O device on the remote machine. The virtual machine manager may then collaborate with the stub driver on the remote machine to effectuate a real access to the I/O device on the remote machine for an access to the virtual I/O device by the device driver on behalf of a program on the local machine.

Abstract: A module and method for automatically scaling a multi-tier application, wherein each tier of the multi-tier application is supported by at least one virtual machine, selects one of reinforced learning and heuristic operation based on a policy to recommend a scaling action from a current state of the multi-tier application. If reinforced learning is selected, the reinforced learning is applied to select the scaling action from a plurality of possible actions for the multi-tier application in the current state. If heuristic operation is selected, the heuristic operation is applied to select the scaling action using a plurality of defined heuristics.
