Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a server that makes use of a host central processing unit (CPU) which accesses a production network to enable communications with a remotely located subsystem using the production network. A USB host system may be operably associated with the host CPU. A service processor may also be incorporated in the server, which is configured to communicate with an out of band network. A service processor USB system may be operably associated with the service processor and may communicate with the USB host system. This enables access to either an operating system or a hypervisor running on the host CPU via the out of band network, using an Ethernet-over-USB protocol.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a system for controlling a plurality of managed devices. The system may involve a manageability services module adapted to facilitate communication between the plurality of managed devices and a central user located remotely from the plurality of managed devices. The system may also involve a manageability engine module that communicates with the manageability services module. The manageability engine module may have an element library storing parameters associated with the plurality of managed devices, and may be configured to perform a number of useful operations such as: facilitating communication between the managed devices and the manageability services module; discovering a new managed device; and collecting, aggregating and providing real time analytics on the data collected from the managed devices. A database may be used to store data collected by the manageability engine module.
Abstract:
A method and system to detect a correlation of movements of an input device, sent from a first location, with at least one configurable movement parameter set on a remote computer at a second location remote from the first location, wherein the method includes: (a) sending first movement information from the first location to the remote computer at the second location, the first movement information corresponding to a first movement of the input device; (b) tracking a resulting movement of a cursor of the remote computer at the second location in response to the remote computer having received the first movement information and utilized the at least one configurable movement parameter; (c) calculating predicted movements utilizing at least two possible values for the at least one configurable movement parameter; and (d) determining which of the at least two possible values provides the predicted movement most closely matching the resulting movement of the cursor.
Abstract:
An Intelligent Network Peripheral (INP) is equipped with a recording control processor that is connected to at least one internal or external recording device (e.g., hard drive, disk array, CD-recorder, DVD recorder, and/or tape device). Using the INP, a user may be prompted to perform an activity, such as (1) start a new recording session, (2) playback a recorded session, (3) delete a recorded session, (4) edit recording parameters (e.g., the number of stored frames, the length of a session to record, the resolution of the image to record), and (5) re-run a recorded session. An INP may be incorporated into a Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) switch, a Rack Connection Manager (RCM) and/or a Pod Extension Module (PEM) for recording at least one of video from and user input to a computer for diagnostic and other purposes.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided to precisely model the power consumption of both monolithic (physical) and virtual computing devices in near-real-time or real-time, allowing for precise prediction and classification of power and/or resource use and detection of anomalous power and/or resource utilization solely based on a system's operational workloads.
Abstract:
Methods and systems provide the automatic tracking of the physical location of information technology components in a data center. These systems automatically identify where a given IT component, such as a server, router, switch or other device, is located. They automatically identify which slot the IT component is located in a given rack in the data center. They include “smart” brackets containing small ID chips attached to the rack-based IT components and a “smart” rack rail for detecting the brackets. Each smart bracket uniquely identifies the IT component to which it is attached. The smart rack rail identifies the slot of the rack in which the IT component resides and communicates with a microcontroller to relay the position information to a database.
