In one embodiment, a method for testing a cable includes receiving a read-signal profile read at a receiving-end of a cable upon an initial test signal being input to a sending end of the cable, calculating a cross-correlation function between the read-signal profile and a matched filter output, and determining a peak value of the cross-correlation function. In another embodiment, a system includes a device, the device including logic for receiving a read-signal profile read at a receiving-end of the cable upon an initial test signal being input to a sending end of the cable, logic for calculating a cross-correlation function between the read-signal profile and a matched filter output, logic for determining a peak value of the cross-correlation function, and logic for storing the peak value to a computer readable medium. Other methods, systems, and computer program products are also described according to various embodiments.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting intermittent network link failures. A tracking module tracks link failures of a network link of a network over a specified time interval. A failure module determines the network link is failing in response to a number of link failures exceeding a specified failure threshold. A mitigation module mitigates communications over the network link.

A system, a method, and article of manufacture are employed to clean the input/output transducers on tape drives, verified by the tape drives reading alphanumeric information from data tracks and servo tracks of a cleaner tape. An aggressive cleaning frontcoat section of the cleaner tape can be used to provide additional cleaning action, and the cleanliness of the data read elements, data write elements, and the servo heads. A less-abrasive cleaning section may be used to clean less difficult types of contaminants. In this manner, the cleanliness of the data read elements, the data write elements, and the servo heads can be verified. A cleaning section may also be used as a leader section of a self-characterization section. Alternatively, a magnetic data tape section may be included for self-characterization.

Methods are provided for managing data encryption for a data storage library. An implementation assessment is performed for a customer and, in response to the implementation assessment, a set of customizations are generated for an encryption command communications appliance to enable the appliance to communicate with an encryption-capable storage device and a data storage library controller within the data storage library and with an encryption key manager (EKM) coupled to the data storage library. The encryption command communications appliance is configured with the set of customizations and the configured encryption command communications appliance is installed in the data storage library coupled to the library controller, the storage device and the EKM.

A holographic storage media incorporates a holographic recording layer for storing holographic data and a DVD reflective layer for storing control information. The DVD reflective layer is positioned within the holographic storage media relative to the holographic recording layer to enable individual optical access to the holographic recording layer via a data laser light for processing the holographic data and individual optical access to the DVD reflective layer via an information laser light for processing the control information. The holographic recording layer and the DVD reflective layer may be physically separated by one or more intermediate reflective layers. The data laser light and the information laser light may differ in one or more optical characteristics. The holographic recording layer and the DVD reflective layer may be optically accessed by the respective laser lights through different light transparent faces of the holographic storage media.

A method for preventing dust from entering a tape drive system is disclosed. Initially, a cooling fan is allowed to rotate in one direction to provide airflow to the tape drive system. In response to a detection of a loading or unloading of a tape cartridge or a head brush operation, the cooling fan is allowed to rotate in a different direction to provide airflow in an opposite direction in order to blow any dust and debris, which may be introduced from a tape cartridge or may already be resident on a tape head, out the front of the tape drive system.

A method and apparatus to identity SPAM emails is disclosed. The method sets a misspelling rejection ratio. Upon receipt of an email comprising (X) words, the method determines the number (Y) of misspelled words comprising that email. The method then calculates a misspelling ratio by dividing (Y) by (X), and then determines if the misspelling ratio is greater than or equal to the misspelling rejection ratio. If the method determines that the misspelling ratio is greater than or equal to the misspelling rejection ratio, then the method reports the email as SPAM. In certain embodiments, the detection of words used to trigger the rejection of SPAM is based on a fuzzy search of alternate spellings. These alternate spellings may come from a spell checker.
