    摘要: A user terminal emulation server maintains a database identifying network addresses, UI capabilities, and communication protocols of I/O user devices. Communication sessions are established between a user terminal emulation application and a network entity and I/O user devices proximately located to a user and provide a combined I/O user interface. Delay profiles are determined between the application and the I/O user devices. A downlink flow from the network entity is split into a plurality of downlink flow components assigned to the I/O user devices. For each of the downlink flow components, the server formats the component for transmission to the assigned I/O user device, initiates transmission of the formatted downlink flow component to the assigned I/O user device, and controls timing for when the formatted downlink flow component is transmitted to the assigned I/O user device based on the delay profile associated with the assigned I/O user device.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a host system for selecting a power supply includes a processor, a bus interface to connect to a peripheral device, and a power controller. The power controller may be to: determine whether the processor has entered a reduced power mode; determine, via one or more bus messages, whether charging is to be performed for a battery of the peripheral device; and in response to a determination that the processor has entered the reduced power mode and that charging is not to be performed for the battery of the peripheral device, switch from a first power supply to a second power supply as an active power source of the host system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A supervisory service of a node that includes a smart input/output (I/O) peripheral is extended into a cloud operator domain that is associated with the smart I/O peripheral. The supervisory service determines a state of a ready state indicator that is provided by the smart I/O peripheral. Based on the state, the supervisory service performs at least one of regulating an availability of an instance of an application operating environment of the node or determining whether the smart I/O peripheral is ready to be configured by the supervisory service.

    摘要: Processing I/O operations may include: receiving, at a data storage system, an I/O operation from a host, wherein the I/O operation is directed to a logical address and includes an I/O tag used in connection with performing data reduction processing for first data stored at the logical address; and performing processing to back up a data set including the first data stored at the logical address. The processing may include: sending, from the data storage system to a backup application, the data set and hints regarding the first data set, wherein the hints include a first hint determined in accordance with the I/O tag from the host; performing, in accordance with the hints, data reduction processing of the data set to generate a second data set; and storing the second data set on one or more backup storage devices.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a method of providing distributed storage services to a host computer from a network interface card (NIC) of the host computer. At the NIC, the method accesses a set of one or more external storages operating outside of the host computer through a shared port of the NIC that is not only used to access the set of external storages but also for forwarding packets not related to an external storage. In some embodiments, the method accesses the external storage set by using a network fabric storage driver that employs a network fabric storage protocol to access the external storage set. The method presents the external storage as a local storage of the host computer to a set of programs executing on the host computer. In some embodiments, the method presents the local storage by using a storage emulation layer on the NIC to create a local storage construct that presents the set of external storages as a local storage of the host computer.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method includes monitoring, by a power monitor on a computer device, for a peripheral device connection. The peripheral device connection connecting a peripheral device to an input/output port of the computer device. The input/output port is configured to provide power from a power supply of the computer device to the peripheral device. In response to the monitoring for the peripheral device connection identifying the peripheral device connection, the method includes determining, by the power monitor, a device type and a negotiated power of the peripheral device as connected. The power monitor determines whether the negotiated power of the peripheral device as connected matches expected power information. In response to determining the negotiated power of the peripheral device does not match the expected power information, the power monitor takes action on the computer device.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a modular management gateway apparatus for providing keyboard, video and mouse communications with a target device in communication with the apparatus. The apparatus may have a housing with a field programmable gate array (FPGA) housed within the housing. An uplink port is included to enable communication between a user operated device and the apparatus via a network. A memory is used for containing a software module for carrying out at least one operating feature of the apparatus. A video compression hardware and software subsystem is used for providing 4K video transfer between the apparatus and the target device. A USB-C enables video signals and serial data to be communicated between the apparatus and the target device.
