Abstract:
A system and methodology to monitor system resources for a cluster computer environment and/or an application instance allows user to defined failover policies that take appropriate corrective actions when a predefined threshold is met. An engine comprising failover policies and mechanisms to define resource monitoring, consumption, allocation, and one or more thresholds for a computer server environment to identify capable servers and thereafter automatically transition an application between multiple servers so as to ensure the application is continually operating within the defined metrics.
Abstract:
A logical grouping of subgroups of server clusters forms a failover super-cluster. A logical grouping of groups of servers provides high availability by, upon failure of an entire group (site), failing over an entire subgroup to a different subgroup. Yet within each subgroup local failovers continue to maintain application high availability during instances in which the site remains operational.
Abstract:
Statically configured secure tunnels forward application-level Transmission Control Protocol (“TCP”) application data between servers using a User Datagram Protocol (“UDP”) channel. Applications operating on a server cluster can communicate with other applications on another server in the cluster over the public Internet using secure TCP connection forwarding through a single UDP datagram-oriented communication channel.
Abstract:
Redundant transmission control protocol tunneling of the present invention channels client application data through the public Internet via a secure UDP channel. By integrating one or more gateway applications interposed between an endpoint and the public Internet using local loopback addresses, the present invention provides network path failover redundancy.
Abstract:
A system for stateful containers in a distributed computing environment that includes a server cluster having a plurality of computing nodes communicatively connected via a network. Each computing node within the server cluster includes one or more virtual hosts, one or more containers operating on top of each virtual host and an application instantiation, operating on top of a container, communicatively coupled to a persistent storage medium. Each virtual host instantiates, and is tied to, a unique virtual internet protocol address that is linked to the persistent storage medium on which resides the application state data.
Abstract:
A system and associated methodology for sharing a common data storage medium in a computer cluster is hereafter disclosed. Each server within the cluster includes a processor, an operating system, a stand-alone file system and a cluster management system. Moreover, the data storage medium is configured to store data usable by each of the servers within the server cluster. The cluster management system communicates with each stand-alone file system to coordinate access among the plurality of servers to the data storage medium.
Abstract:
A datagram-oriented UDP protocol is used for communication between tunnel gateways in a wide area network. Lightweight remote client accesses network services using TCP tunneling. Each remote client maintains one or more UDP/IP+DTLS communication channels to a single member of the gateway group. Gateway servers belonging to the gateway group form some interconnection topology linking each gateway server to each other gateway server, whereby each gateway server maintains a communication channel with every other gateway server in the gateway group.

Abstract:
A datagram oriented UDP protocol is used for communication between tunnel gateways in a wide area network. Lightweight remote client accesses network services using TCP tunneling. Each remote client maintains one or more UDP/IP+DTLS communication channels to a single member of the gateway group. Gateway servers belonging to the gateway group form some interconnection topology linking each gateway server to each other gateway server, whereby each gateway server maintains a communication channel with every other gateway server in the gateway group. Through the links between gateway servers, a remote client may access any application provided by any gateway server within the gateway group regardless of which gateway server it is connected to, which serves to cloak its communication patterns.
