First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for unified management in a computer network, the method comprising:
- initializing a unified management platform (UMP);
initializing a database;
determining utilization information relating to at least one resources in a computing environment;
storing in the database, the utilization information;
determining zero or more active applets provided by the UMP;
processing at least one function associated with at least one of the active applets;
generating information relating to the at least one of the resources, upon processing of the functions;
storing in the database, the generated information relating to the active applets; and
selectively providing the utilization information to the active applets for at least one of managing, analyzing and modeling of the at least one of the resources,wherein the method is computer implemented

1. A method for unified management in a computer network, the method comprising:
-
initializing a unified management platform (UMP); initializing a database; determining utilization information relating to at least one resources in a computing environment; storing in the database, the utilization information; determining zero or more active applets provided by the UMP; processing at least one function associated with at least one of the active applets; generating information relating to the at least one of the resources, upon processing of the functions; storing in the database, the generated information relating to the active applets; and selectively providing the utilization information to the active applets for at least one of managing, analyzing and modeling of the at least one of the resources, wherein the method is computer implemented - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14)

8. A graphical user interface (GUI) for a unified management platform (UMP) in a virtual computer network, the GUI comprising:
-
a first frame comprising at least one user selectable display item associated with at least one applet, wherein upon receiving selection of the display item, a function corresponding to the applet associate with the display item is performed, wherein the first frame provides a selection of at least one of a user selectable object item and a user selectable resource item, wherein a database is linked to the at least one applet, and wherein the GUI is computer implemented. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

15. A unified management platform (UMP) in a computing environment comprising:
-
a database common to zero or more active applets; and a system for selectively executing management functions common to the applets, and storing in the database historical information indicative of usage and functions performed by the applications, wherein upon initialization, the system access the historical information making the historical information available for the active applications. - View Dependent Claims (16)

-
17. A common database comprising:
-
data comprising information indicative of historical activity of at least one application in a virtual environment platform; storage for accommodating new activity information of at least one application active in the virtual environment platform, wherein the information indicative of the historical is updated based on the new activity information; and an output providing accessibility to the data upon initialization, wherein a new application active in the virtual environment upon the initialization has access to the data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
