| 20090144718 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UPDATING SOFTWARE APPLIANCES - Embodiments relate to systems and methods for updating software appliances. A client can host a software appliance, such a Linux™ software appliance, which a user wishes to update to a newer version. Instead of performing an in-place update by installing a new version that deletes the configuration state and/or user data of the existing version of the appliance, an export module takes an image of an initial appliance installation and then registers further changes to the configuration state and/or user data over time. When the user chooses to update the software appliance, the new version can be downloaded to execute an installation. The export module aggregates all changes to the original installation image as well as user data, and delivers the complete current configuration state and/or complete current user data to the new version of the appliance to instantiate the new version. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090300164 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SOFTWARE APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT USING BROADCAST MECHANISM - Embodiments relate to systems and methods for managing software appliances using a broadcast mechanism. Embodiments incorporate a centralized appliance monitor that collects software appliance state information from a community of clients having software appliance installations. Software appliances can comprise a reduced-component operating system combined with pre-configured application(s), for instance distributed via optical disc or Web download. When a software appliance instantiates on a client in the network or at other times, the identity and execution state of the application is broadcast to an appliance monitor. The appliance monitor aggregates the appliance state information for all clients in the network, and manages their deployment and execution on the network. The appliance monitor can for example transmit an appliance control instruction to a client to terminate or otherwise manage an uncertified or unapproved appliance, or take other network management action. | 12-03-2009 |
