摘要:
A pay-per-use or pay-as-you-go computer uses a secure memory to store individual unique program identifiers. Each unique program identifier is associated with a particular hardware or software component, or service, or the entire computer available to a user. By combining the unique program identifier with a computer hardware identifier uniquely identified transactions may be tracked for both billing and reconciliation. Certificates associated with each unique program identifier, and coupled to the hardware identifier, provide a cryptographic basis for mutual verification of messages, requests, configuration instructions, and provisioning.

Computer executable modules and an associated method for delivering computer resources using an advertising based model may use a local database of advertisements and locally collected user profile data for selecting targeted advertisements for delivery to a user. A user may be allowed to select what or how much user profile information to share with an advertising provider. The local database of advertisements may then be downloaded corresponding to the amount of user profile data shared. For example, when less user profile data is shared a larger database of advertisements may be downloaded. The advertising database may also be attached to a software update. Presentation of targeted ads may be verified and reported to an advertising provider allowing revenue-sharing to compensate the computer resource provider.

A backup broker maintains a list of destination computers that may be ranked according to ability to satisfy quality service requires corresponding to data backup. When a source computer requests that any target file be backed up, the backup broker indicates one or more destination computers meeting a designated quality of service selection. An agent on the source computer encrypts and optionally segments a backup file to form the target file. The agent may then send the file to the backup broker or directly to the destination computer or computers. The backup broker may also periodically test potential and active destination computers to confirm their ability to maintain a designated service level. The backup broker charges for backup according to the requested quality of service selection. The backup broker compensates the destination computer based on its ability to provide consistent service levels and corresponding to the amount of data actually stored.

A method and system for managing stored data on a computer network organizes data into logical volumes, and each logical volume has a friendly name associated with it. A domain controller keeps track of the friendly names of the logical volumes and associates those friendly names with the actual physical paths of the logical volumes. When a client computer on the network wishes to access a logical volume, it sends a look-up request having the friendly name to the domain controller. The domain controller may fulfill the request by sending the path of the logical volume to the client computer.

A processing device may automatically provide protective services and may provide backup services for backing up and restoring user files, system files, configuration files, as well as other information. The processing device may be configured to check one or more performance conditions and perform an action to improve performance based on the one or more performance conditions. The processing device may monitor configuration and file changes and provide a user with a capability to persist or discard configuration changes and/or file changes made by an application during a session. The processing device may include a recovery button or switch, which when selected or pressed may cause the processing device to be restored to an operational state. The processing device may automatically detect instabilities and may automatically attempt to repair possible causes of the instabilities. The processing device may also include an additional chipset, which may perform backup and recovery services.

In a method for providing unified support for solid state storage, a solid state storage class driver is provided to enable uniform operating system access to a plurality of dissimilar solid state storage devices. A common functionality of the plurality of dissimilar solid state storage devices is abstracted via a solid state storage port driver. A solid state storage bus driver is utilized to expose an interface feature of a solid state storage device, wherein the solid state storage device is selected from the plurality of dissimilar solid state storage devices such that the interface feature is accommodated while simultaneously enabling the operating system to support access to the plurality of dissimilar solid state storage devices in a unified manner.
摘要:
A method for selectively utilizing a plurality of disparate solid state storage locations is disclosed. The technology initially receives class types for a plurality of disparate solid state storage locations. The characteristics of the received data are determined. The received data is then allocated to one of the plurality of disparate solid state storage locations based upon the determined characteristics of the received data.
