摘要:
A hypervisor-based system and method for downloading device driver updates that prevents confusion on the part of the driver update software as to which driver, physical or virtual, is being updated.

Serial presence data in the EEPROM of a DIMM is encrypted with the private key of the motherboard with which the DIMM is intended to be used, so that only BIOS of the intended motherboard can decrypt the SPD to complete booting.
摘要:
A system, method, and computer readable medium are disclosed. The method includes automatically generating a set of security data. The security data is stored in non-volatile memory. The set of security data is also programmed into the data storage device as a security code.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for buffering write data. A motion sensor module senses the motion of a motion-sensitive storage device. A direction module writes data to a buffer if the motion exceeds a threshold motion. The direction module further writes the data to the motion-sensitive storage device if the motion does not exceed the threshold motion. In one embodiment, a write module writes the data from the buffer to the motion-sensitive storage device when the motion does not exceed the threshold motion.

A technique is disclosed for storing an electronic record of the existence of licenses available for use in a network of computers and the deployment status of programs covered by the licenses. License tokens are stored on a license server, and the stored license tokens are used to validate the deployment of applications stored on clients associated with the license server. The license server maintains the license tokens for all licensed applications used by the associated clients and maintains a license file for each client. Periodically, the license file containing token data is sent to the pre-boot environment of each client in the system, e.g., by a synching process. A license-maintenance application residing in the pre-boot environment of each client validates the applications stored on the client by comparing them with the token data in the license file upon the occurrence of a pre-boot process.

A system and method for allowing an access point in a wireless network to operate at maximum speed includes determining if there is at least one client within the network that is operating at less than the maximum speed. If there is, then instruct the at least one client to decrease transmission range until the at least one client is no longer in range of the access point. Then, instruct a client at the maximum speed to interface with the at least one client to provide a peer-to-peer connection wherein the maximum speed client acts as an access point for the at least one client.
摘要:
A method and system for wirelessly connecting a client device to a wireless network's access point. When a first client device detects a Wireless Broadcast Storm During Active Scan Association (WBSDAASA) caused by a large block of other client devices attempting to simultaneously wirelessly connect to the access point using an active scan, the first client device switches to either a passive scan or a random roam active scan to connect the first client device to the access point. The first client device is thus able to avoid a connection live-lock caused by the WBSDAASA.
摘要:
When a first blade server that is servicing a client computer becomes congested, service is transferred to a second blade server potentially in a different blade center by freezing the first blade and client and then sending, to the second blade server, a pointer to the currently addressed location in the client's virtual storage and an exact memory map in the first blade server that is associated with the client computer, along with the client's IP address. These are used to reconstruct the state of the first blade in the second blade, at which time the second blade resumes service to the client.
摘要:
A method and system is described for selectively downloading antidotes onto a client computer. The client computer is connected via a network interface card (NIC) to a network that contains an anti-virus server. The NIC is initially logically isolated from the client computer, thus permitting the NIC to autonomously examine packets to and from the client computer and the network. The NIC selectively accepts packets only from trusted Internet Protocol (IP) addresses that conform to a security format such as Internet Protocol Security (IPSec).
摘要:
A method and system is presented for making a client computer compliant with a data security regulatory rule. A client computer is connected to a network that includes a compliance fix server. The compliance fix server determines if the client computer is in compliance with a data security regulatory rule, based on a level of compliance at which that the client computer is authorized. If the client computer has not executed the appropriate compliance software required to put the client computer in compliance with the data security regulatory rule, then the compliance fix server sends appropriate compliance software to the client computer for installation and execution.
