International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709220

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for integrating a converged infrastructure platform in a data center is provided. The described apparatus configures the physical and virtual resources that run on the converged infrastructure to communicate with the rest of the data center. The described apparatus further enables a system administrator to rollback configurations of the physical and virtual resources of the converged infrastructure to restore the converged infrastructure to a factory state.

US Classification:

709221

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for integrating a converged infrastructure platform in a data center is provided. The described apparatus configures the physical and virtual resources that run on the converged infrastructure to communicate with the rest of the data center. The network integration process understands the data center network already in place and extends the set up into the converged infrastructure to enable communication between the converged infrastructure and the rest of the network in the data center. The apparatus uses an infrastructure template that describes the data center and that may be pre-defined for a specific application deployed within the converged infrastructure platform.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709225, 709223

Abstract:

A user management construct, referred to as a persona, is provided to enable a flexible mechanism that grants elevated or administrative privileges to users, such as application developers. Developers may utilize the privileges bestowed by a persona to execute tasks that normally requires access by traditional information (IT) roles, such as IT administrators, to deploy applications in a cloud computing environment. The tasks may include the provisioning of virtual or physical computing resources and/or the configuration of compute, storage, and networking resources.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00
H04L 9/32
G06K 7/14
G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

A system for determining authenticity of an item includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the system to assign a unique identifier to an item, generate a digital signature of the unique identifier of the item using a private key of a producing organization, generate a scannable code based on the generated digital signature and/or a base 64 encoded form of the generated digital signature, and embed in the item the scannable code and the unique item identifier, a name of the producing organization, and/or a public key server URL.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707639

Abstract:

A snapshot agent executing on a virtual desktop allows a user to both create snapshots of the VM image hosting the virtual desktop and to revert that VM instance to such snapshots. In addition to a snapshot agent that executes within a given VM instance, another embodiment provides a user with network access to a portal snapshot management interface, e.g., via a web application. The web application can present the list of VM instances, and snapshots for each such VM instance, owned by an authenticated user. The user can then interact with the web application to create a new snapshot for (or revert to) an existing snapshot for the owned VM instances.

Assignee:

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718 1

Abstract:

A method and system is provided for managing virtual machine instances (VMs) and other computing and network infrastructure within a data center. A user designates a computing device or resource (whether physical or virtual) as a master automation object (e.g., a virtual machine instance may be designated as a virtual template for command replication). The user then establishes an association between the master object and a set of physical and/or virtual computing resources that should replicate a set of designated commands sent to the master object. An automation service then intercepts/observes commands sent to the master object and sends the intercepted/observed commands to each computing device linked to the master object.

International Classification:

US Classification:

718 1

Abstract:

A method and system for executing scripts on virtual machines is provided. The system includes an executor service that accepts scripts, parameters, authentication information from another process that needs to invoke a script on a target virtual machine (or group of virtual machines). The executor service remains running even after a script has completed execution. The executor service accepts any number of scripts and places them in a command queue. Agents running on the target virtual machine(s) check-in with the executor service to receive scripts from the command queue. Also, the executor service may directly invoke a script using a persistent connection to a virtual machine management center.
