20120023487 | MEASURING ACTUAL END USER PERFORMANCE AND AVAILABILITY OF WEB APPLICATIONS - Techniques for monitoring web application performance are provided. A request for a web application is received at an application server. A response pipeline at the application server generates client application code corresponding to the requested web application. The client application code is intercepted in the response pipeline. Instrumentation code is inserted into the intercepted client application code to generate an instrumented client application code. The instrumentation code is configured to be executed when the instrumented client application code is rendered at the client to capture performance information at the client, and is configured to transmit the captured performance information from the client. | 01-26-2012 |
20120257820 | IMAGE ANALYSIS TOOLS - A master image can be generated based upon evaluation of virtual machine images. The master image includes single instances of data segments that are shared across virtual machine images within a virtual machine environment. The master image can be further be constructed as a function of a peer pressure technique that includes data segments common to a majority of the virtual machine images within the master image. The data segments included within the master image can further be defined by prioritizing data within virtual machine images as well as identifying influential data with a peer pressure technique. | 10-11-2012 |
20120260259 | RESOURCE CONSUMPTION WITH ENHANCED REQUIREMENT-CAPABILITY DEFINITIONS - Enhanced requirement-capability definitions are employed for resource consumption and allocation. Business requirements can be specified with respect to content to be hosted, and a decision can be made as to whether, and how, to allocate resources for the content based on the business requirements and resource capabilities. Capability profiles can also be employed to hide underlying resource details while still providing information about resource capabilities. | 10-11-2012 |
20120324446 | VIRTUAL MACHINE IMAGE COMPOSITION AND SIGNING - Techniques are described for composing virtual machine images, generating signatures thereof, and verifying virtual machine images. A virtual machine image may be generated by installing or inserting software to a base virtual machine image. A signature may be computed using hash values of blocks of the base virtual machine image; blocks of the base image that are unchanged need not be hashed to generate the signature. A copy of the new virtual machine image can be verified at a computer hosting virtual machines by computing hashes only for modified or new blocks (relative to the base image). Block verification can take place in the background when a virtual machine starts; all of the blocks are verified (hashed and compared) in some order, and at the same time, unverified blocks are verified on demand as needed by the virtual machine. | 12-20-2012 |
20120331461 | HOST ENABLED MANAGEMENT CHANNEL - A logical communication path is provided between a target virtual machine (VM) and a host or application communicating with the VM. The target VM runs on a hypervisor host that has a hypervisor and a proxy agent. The hypervisor manages execution of the VM. A mapping is maintained indicating which VMs execute on which hosts. When the host or application is to send a message or packet to the target VM, the mapping is consulted and the hypervisor host hosting the target VM is identified. The message or packet, which may identify the target VM, is transmitted to the hypervisor host. A proxy agent at the hypervisor host selects a communication channel between the hypervisor and the target VM. The hypervisor then passes the message or packet through the selected channel to the target VM. | 12-27-2012 |
20130007216 | VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATION TOOL - Tools and techniques for migrating applications to compute clouds are described herein. A tool may be used to migrate any arbitrary application to a specific implementation of a compute cloud. The tool may use a library of migration rules, apply the rules to a selected application, and in the process generate migration output. The migration output may be advisory information, revised code, patches, or the like. There may be different sets of rules for different cloud compute platforms, allowing the application to be migrated to different clouds. The rules may describe a wide range of application features and corresponding corrective actions for migrating the application. Rules may specify semantic behavior of the application, code or calls, storage, database instances, interactions with databases, operating systems hosting the application, and others. | 01-03-2013 |
