    摘要: A method, system or switch device, the switch device being one of a ported and a non-ported switch device, both including a housing containing an ASIC providing a switching system within the switch device; the housing further including a plurality of extender ports communicating with the ASIC and being connectable to themselves either in loopback fashion or to one or more ported or non-ported switch devices, whereby the extender ports operate on a discrete protocol from standard switch ports. The ported switch device further includes a plurality of standard ports connectable to one or more external computer network devices and is adapted to be operable as a switch system in an independent standalone mode as well as being adapted to be operable in conjunction with a discrete non-ported switch device.

    摘要: Differential configuration update commands can be communicated and applied quickly and efficiently to active zone sets and zone set libraries, without requiring propagation of entire zone sets through a fabric of a SAN. Furthermore, the commands can be applied quickly to support dynamic configuration updates. Ordered differential configuration update commands can be applied to ordered zone set data structures to minimize update instruction communication requirements and optimize configuration update operations. In addition, differential configuration update commands can be applied to active zone set data structures (e.g., in an active zone set or a zone set library) to optimize configuration update operations.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a database system that is optimized by using hardware acceleration. The system may be implemented in several variations to accommodate a wide range of queries and database sizes. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a host system that is coupled to one or more hardware accelerator components. The host system may execute software or provide an interface for receiving queries. The host system analyzes and parses these queries into tasks. The host system may then select some of the tasks and translate them into machine code instructions, which are executed by one or more hardware accelerator components. The tasks executed by hardware accelerators are generally those tasks that may be repetitive or processing intensive. Such tasks may include, for example, indexing, searching, sorting, table scanning, record filtering, and the like.

    摘要: A unified networking device communicates directly with storage devices and servers in the data center and communicates directly with switches and routers outside of the data center environment. The unified networking device manages data transfers between storage devices, between a storage device and a server, between a storage device and a web switch, and between a storage device and a router. The unified networking device is configured to perform data transfers while bypassing a server. The unified networking device is further configured to perform multi-protocol conversion.
