Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for managing pattern contents across multiple racks. The workload usage characteristics of the pattern contents on a primary rack in a domain of racks are collected based on monitoring the workload usage of the pattern contents in the pattern definition and in the deployed pattern. Furthermore, information regarding use of the pattern definition, the deployed pattern and the pattern contents by users (“human interaction usage patterns”) is collected based on monitoring the human interaction usage patterns. The pattern contents are then ranked based on analyzing the collected workload usage characteristics and analyzing the collected information regarding human interaction usage patterns. Once the pattern contents are ranked, those contents that are highly ranked are deemed to be more likely to be utilized in the pattern and therefore are the contents that are copied from the primary rack to the other racks of the domain.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for building a pattern. An external framework engine identifies the software components, as well as code updates and/or code fixes, from the external repositories associated with different vendors. The framework engine then generates metadata using the identified software components and code updates and/or code fixes which may be used to determine the relationships between the software components. Furthermore, the framework engine generates configuration metadata to successfully link software components with a relationship. The framework engine then displays the software components available to be used to build the pattern, including the relationship linkages between the software components with a relationship along with the configuration metadata required to make a successful linkage. In this manner, the user will be able to build a pattern using software components provided from different vendors and be able to understand the relationship linkages between the software components.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for protecting data stored on a mobile device, based upon its location. Data stored on a mobile device is encrypted with a network-stored secret key that is unknown to the user of the mobile device. The secret key is provided directly to the mobile device once the user is authenticated and it has been determined that the mobile device is located within a predetermined geographical area. The provided secret key is then used to decrypt the encrypted data stored on the mobile device such that it can then be accessed by the user. The user is then prevented from accessing the encrypted data when it is determined that the mobile device is no longer located within the predetermined geographical area.
