Abstract: Technologies for providing services to a non-volatile store include a computing device having a non-volatile store policy that defines a minimum amount of reserved space in the non-volatile store. The mobile computing device receives a call for services to the non-volatile store, determines useable free space in the non-volatile store based on the non-volatile store policy, and responds to the call for services based on the useable free space. Technologies for platform configuration include a computing device having a firmware environment and an operating system. The firmware environment determines information on configuration settings inaccessible to the operating system and exports the information to the operating system. The operating system determines a new configuration setting based on the exported information, and may configure the computing device at runtime. The operating system may securely pass a configuration directive to the firmware environment for configuration during boot. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract translation: 向非易失性存储器提供服务的技术包括具有非易失性存储策略的计算设备，该非易失性存储策略定义非易失性存储器中的最小保留空间量。 移动计算设备接收对非易失性存储的服务的呼叫，基于非易失性存储策略确定非易失性存储器中的可用空闲空间，并且基于可用的可用空间来响应对服务的呼叫。 用于平台配置的技术包括具有固件环境和操作系统的计算设备。 固件环境确定关于操作系统无法访问的配置设置的信息，并将信息导出到操作系统。 操作系统基于导出的信息确定新的配置设置，并且可以在运行时配置计算设备。 操作系统可以安全地将配置指令传递给固件环境，以便在引导期间进行配置。 描述和要求保护其他实施例。
