A method for exchange of equipment performance data includes the steps of: obtaining performance data of a communicatively-insulated device; converting the performance data into a scannable code; capturing an image of the scannable code; decoding the scannable code using a communicatively-enabled device to extract an address string encoded in the scannable code, the address string comprising an address of a remote server and the performance data; initiating, by the communicatively-enabled device, a communications link with the remote server using the address string thereby to provide the performance data to the remote server; performing, by the remote server, analytics on the performance data; and sending historic device performance data and/or analytical results to a remote computing device and/or sending a link to the historic device performance data and/or analytical results to the remote computing device; wherein the communicatively-insulated device is medical imaging equipment and wherein obtaining the performance data comprises scanning a phantom using the medical imaging equipment and/or acquiring medical imaging equipment sensor data and generating a system status report identifying one or more operational parameters of the medical imaging equipment.

One aspect relates to a system that integrates a user interface of a device with a cloud based database system without use of a database application. A user may access a cloud based database system without the complexity of installing additional software or managing connections to the cloud based database system. The system may establish a communication link between the user interface and intelligent agents running on the database system in order to allow a user(s) to carry out various database monitoring and verification activities.

In one aspect, a first device may download at least one disk image and then provide the disk image to second and third devices through a fourth device that controls connections to the second and third devices. The first device may then run computer diagnostics concurrently on the second and third devices through the fourth device and using the image provided to each of the second and third devices. In some examples, communication between the devices may occur using USB ports.

Methods and systems for providing distributed tracing for application performance monitoring utilizing a distributed search engine in a microservices architecture. An example method comprises providing a user interface (UI) including a distributed trace indicating in real time the services invoked to serve an incoming HTTP request including dependent services, the UI further including, in a single view, associated execution times for the services and dependent services shown as a timeline waterfall. The distributed trace automatically propagates a trace ID to link services end-to-end in real time until a response to the request is served. Spans associated with the services and dependent can be compressed using various techniques provided for herein.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating customized recommendations for environmentally-conscious cloud computing frameworks for replacing computing resources of existing datacenters. One of the methods involves receiving, through a user interface presented on a display of a computing device, data regarding a user's existing datacenter deployment and the user's preferences for the new cloud computing framework, generating one or more recommendations for environmentally-conscious cloud computing frameworks based on the received data, and presenting such recommendations through the user interface for the user's review and consideration.

In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to allocate, in memory, a read-once memory container to store data from a first computer program. The instructions may also be executable to write the data from the first computer program to the read-once memory container and to permit a second computer program to use the data as stored in the read-once memory container. The data, upon being accessed from the read-once memory container, may not be readable again from the read-once memory container without being written again.

Some embodiments are directed to a monitoring system for monitoring a supercomputer architecture including a plurality of devices, including an events analysis module adapted for the reception of an event relating to probes associated with these devices and for the determination of items of information on at least one device as a function of data contained in the event; an information aggregation module adapted to determine second items of information on the basis of these items of information, and as a function of data on the topology of the architecture of the supercomputer; and an information transmission module, adapted for the transmission of the second items of information to at least one supervision data viewing tool.

The present approach relates to event monitoring and management of an instance using a generated service map, allowing monitoring of CIs (e.g., applications) and connections that are currently active in a user's specific instance. A self-monitoring solution is generated for a user (e.g., via an application) that depicts status, configuration, and errors related to the user's instance. In certain implementations, the present techniques involve applying internal knowledge of the working of a user's instance and applications to perform the self-monitoring, and determine when an alert should be generated. Further, the present techniques may involve making a determination to provide a user with a self-help solution in addition or based on the self-monitoring of the user's instance.

Techniques described herein relate to systems and methods of data storage, and more particularly to providing layering of file system functionality on an object interface. In certain embodiments, file system functionality may be layered on cloud object interfaces to provide cloud-based storage while allowing for functionality expected from a legacy applications. For instance, POSIX interfaces and semantics may be layered on cloud-based storage, while providing access to data in a manner consistent with file-based access with data organization in name hierarchies. Various embodiments also may provide for memory mapping of data so that memory map changes are reflected in persistent storage while ensuring consistency between memory map changes and writes. For example, by transforming a ZFS file system disk-based storage into ZFS cloud-based storage, the ZFS file system gains the elastic nature of cloud storage.
