20120136676 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTI-DOMAIN ANOMALY PATTERN DEFINITION AND DETECTION - Disclosed herein is a multi-domain anomaly pattern definition and detection module. The module receives raw data from different kinds of anomalies from a variety of detection algorithms and generates scores associated with the data. If any scores exceed a threshold, the algorithm gathers further information such as counts or listings of detailed data for a geographic region. The detailed data can include emergency department and lab department data related to a particular health concern such as a respiratory syndrome. Summaries can identify anomalies and numbers of events according to geographic region and utilizing probability algorithms. Other databases such as animal data collected under the Department of Agriculture may also be utilized. The data is presented in a familiar form such as a map or a table such that a subject matter expert may determine whether to further investigate an anomaly as a potential risk, for example, a health risk. | 05-31-2012 |

20150339157 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORAGE AND DEPLOYMENT OF VIRTUAL MACHINES IN A VIRTUAL SERVER ENVIRONMENT - Described herein are systems and methods for storage and deployment of VMs in a virtual server environment. A VM deployment module executing on a server may produce VM container objects representing VMs, a VM container object comprising VM data describing a VM and vdisk configuration data. The VM deployment module may also later produce VMs on a server using the VM container objects. The VM deployment module may do so by producing a vdisk from a VM container object, the vdisk comprising the VM and vdisk configuration data. Rather than configuring the vdisk as typically done to make the vdisk useable to the server, the vdisk configuration data is used to make the vdisk useable and the VM data on the vdisk immediately accessible to the server. As such, the VM data may be immediately read to produce a VM on the server, thus providing rapid deployment of VMs. | 11-26-2015 |

20110271010 | I/O BANDWIDTH REDUCTION USING STORAGE-LEVEL COMMON PAGE INFORMATION - I/O bandwidth reduction using storage-level common page information is implemented by a storage server, in response to receiving a request from a client for a page stored at a first virtual address, determining that the first virtual address maps to a page that is a duplicate of a page stored at a second virtual address or that the first and second virtual addresses map to a deduplicated page within a storage system, and transmitting metadata to the client mapping the first virtual address to a second virtual address that also maps to the deduplicated page. For one embodiment, the metadata is transmitted in anticipation of a request for the redundant/deduplicated page via the second virtual address. For an alternate embodiment, the metadata is sent in response to a determination that a page that maps to the second virtual address was previously sent to the client. | 11-03-2011 |
20130318210 | NON-DISRUPTIVE STORAGE SERVER MIGRATION - The techniques introduced here provide a storage server migration that is non-disruptive to client applications.
