US Classification:

709226, 709223, 709224, 709225, 709227, 709220, 706 17, 706 19, 706 20, 706 44, 706 53, 719320, 707103

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and system are disclosed for dynamically provisioning clusters of middleware appliances. In one embodiment, the method includes referencing a resource measurement from a plurality of middleware appliances. The middleware appliances process one or more service domains and the resource measurement includes processing resources consumed by each middleware appliance for each of the one or more service domains. The method may also include determining an implementation plan based on a performance goal and one or more resource calculations. The implementation plan specifies service domain instances to activate and service domain instances to deactivate on the plurality of middleware appliances. The method may also include dynamically enabling and disabling the service domain instances on the plurality of middleware appliances based on the implementation plan.

US Classification:

709229, 709217, 709238

Abstract:

In a method and system for creating a federation of a plurality of enterprise service buses (ESBs), a plurality of ESB nodes provide connectivity to one or more services. According to a protocol, at least a portion of the ESB nodes transmit policy-based service advertisement messages to other ESB nodes, wherein the policy-based service advertisement messages include service state information. In response to receiving the policy-based service advertisement messages, each of the ESB nodes stores the service state information received from other ESB nodes in respective distributed registries to create a local view of routable service endpoints in the federation. Each of the ESB nodes then uses its respective distributed registry to make routing decisions when routing service requests.

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

719310, 709203

Abstract:

Delegation of processing functions to specialized appliances in an enterprise is provided. An appliance typically comprises a combination of hardware and resident firmware that addresses needs in a computing environment, such as by providing common message transformation, integration, security, filtering and other functions. Delegation is carried out by specifying at least one XML function for front-process offloading from a server to a corresponding appliance configured to receive messages pushed towards the server, communicating management directives to the appliance for configuring the appliance to perform the specified XML function(s) according to specific requirements dynamically specified by the server and communicating instructions to the appliance so that the appliance augments received event messages with intermediate processing information based upon the front-process offloading, as received event messages pass through the appliance.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709230

Abstract:

In a method and system for creating an interconnection between autonomous enterprise service buses (ESB) federations, each one of the ESB federations comprise at least one ESB deployment, which further include a plurality of ESB nodes that provide connectivity to one or more services. According to a protocol, a first ESB node is designated in each of the ESB federations as a boundary node that is responsible for establishing and maintaining an interconnection between at least two of the ESB federations. Advertisement messages are transmitted between the boundary nodes that include routing information. In response to receiving the advertisement messages, each of the boundary nodes store the routing information received from other boundary nodes in respective distributed registries to create a local view of routable service endpoints in the federation. Each of the boundary nodes then use the respective distributed registries to make routing decisions when routing service requests.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709233

Abstract:

Methods and protocols coordinate enforcement of application traffic shaping limits within clusters of middleware appliance information handling systems (MA IHSs). The protocols dynamically set the local traffic shaping requirements at each entry point of an MA IHS. Each MA IHS receives from other MA IHSs runtime statistics containing local shaping requirements and rates of requests. The method uses runtime statistics to measure performance against specified traffic shaping goals, and based on this comparison uses unique protocols to dynamically adjust the local shaping requirements in each MA IHS. The method may eliminate the need to statistically bind service domains to particular MA IHSs. Additional MA IHSs activate and/or deactivate service domains to accommodate service domain (server farm) CPU resource demands.
