US Patent:

20100161715, Jun 24, 2010

Filed:

Dec 22, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/340844

Inventors:

Johney Tsai - Irvine CA, US
David Strong - Laguna CA, US
Chi Lin - Chino Hills CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

A Java enterprise resource management (JERM) system and method are provided that allow both timing metrics and call metrics to be monitored and gathered in real-time, and which can cause appropriate actions to be taken in real-time. The JERM system provides a level of granularity with respect to the monitoring of methods triggered during a transaction that is equivalent to or better than that which is currently provided in the aforementioned known call-analysis resource management systems. In addition, the JERM system also provides information associated with the timing of hops that occur between servers, and between and within applications, during a transaction. Because all of this information is obtained in real-time, the JERM system is able to respond in real-time to cause resources to be scaled in or scaled out in a way that provides improved efficiency and productivity, and that enables the enterprise to quickly recover from resource failures.

Appl. No.:

12/502504

Inventors:

Johney Tsai - Irvine CA, US
David Strong - Laguna CA, US
Chi Lin - Chino Hills CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

718100

Abstract:

A computerized work chain and methods are provided. The work chain comprises at least one processing device configured to perform the computerized work chain M work queues implemented in the one or more processing devices, and a work queue handler implemented in the one or more processing devices, where M is a positive integer that is greater than or equal to one. Each work queue comprises a queue monitor, an exception monitor, a pool of worker threads, a logger, and a data queue. The work queue handler forms the work chain by linking the M work queues together such that respective outputs of a first one of the work queues through an M−1 one of the work queues are linked to respective inputs of a second one of the work queues through an Mone of the work queues, respectively.

Abstract:

An upgrade arrangement wherein the switching functions of an in-service switch or cross-connect system are transferred or "re-homed" onto a new, larger capacity switch via the existing input and output ports of the original system. The re-homing can be performed without loss of service, even if the original system is operating at full-capacity. By exploiting the protection redundancy engineered into existing telecommunication switching systems, all of the signals being routed through the original switch are temporarily consolidated onto only one-half of the switching fabric normally required to accommodate such connectivity. This signal consolidation allows half of the original switch ports to be brought off-line (without a service disruption), and linked to the new, higher capacity switching fabric. The signals that had been consolidated within the original switching fabric are then re-routed onto the new switching fabric (via the linked ports), and the other half of the original switch ports are brought off-line and linked to the new switching fabric. The re-routed signals (still being switched in a consolidated format within the new switching fabric) are then redistributed (unconsolidated) among the linked ports and the new switching fabric so that a normal switching pattern is reestablished.
