20120197596 | System And Method For Distributed Processing - In one embodiment, a first portion and a second portion of a data set are identified. The first portion of the data set is sent to a first node that stores it in a first primary storage. The first primary storage is configured such that a first processor of the first node accesses information stored in the first primary storage without accessing another storage device. The second portion of the data set is sent to a second node that stores it in a second primary storage. The second primary storage is configured such that a second processor of the second node accesses information stored in the second primary storage without accessing another storage device. The first node generates a first set of results by processing the first portion of the data set. The second node generates a second set of results by processing the second portion of the data set. | 08-02-2012 |
20120246150 | System and Method for Storing Data and Providing Multi-Level Access Thereto - A system for storing data in a data store and providing multi-level access thereto based on a query from a client. The system includes a database, a data module and a query module. The data module operable to receive the data, determine whether the data has a security tag, assign to each of the data not having a said security tag at least one security tag based on a rule set to thereby form tagged data, and store the tagged data in the data store based on the security tags. The query module operable to receive the query, retrieve credentials from the database based on an identity token, create filters based on the credentials, search the data store based on the query to obtain search results, apply the search results against the filters to obtain filtered results, and provide the filtered results to the client thereby providing multi-level access. | 09-27-2012 |
