In one embodiment switching to a satellite phone network bypasses problems with terrestrial networks such as cell phone networks and landlines which may be down.08-06-2009
20090207852Device for establishing communications interoperability at an incident site including means for recording crisis incidents - What is provided is recording capability for each of the modules utilized by the first responders and other personnel within the area of the incident, with the stored information at each of the first responders' modules being read out through the ad hoc network, where it can be uploaded to storage. The stored information can be displayed at an incident commander work station in real time to give the incident commander a realistic view of the timeline and the severity of the incident, as well as the response. The use of the ad hoc network permits offloading stored information from each of the first responders' modules so as to free up storage within the modules. By providing storage at every node of the ad hoc network, one has access to a timeline of the actions at the incident as well as redundancy, which enhances the memories and observational skills of the first responders. Incident reporting is made complete due to the fact of all recordings being made available at one node on the temporary ad hoc network from which information reports and analysis can proceed, as well as subsequent training.08-20-2009

20090327626METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGEMENT OF COPIES OF A MAPPED STORAGE VOLUME - Methods and systems for rapid creation of copies of a mapped storage volume. A new copy of a mapped storage volume is created by copying the mapping table and updating meta-data associated with the new copy and any ancestral parents thereof. The physical blocks remain untouched when creating a new copy as does any meta-data associated with the physical blocks. Rather, reference meta-data associated with each physical block is updated only in response to processing of a write request to an identified block of an identified copy of the mapped storage volume. Thus copy creation is rapid as compared to prior techniques reliant on reference counters.12-31-2009
20100005255Method for providing atomicity for host write input/outputs (I/Os) in a continuous data protection (CDP)-enabled volume using intent log - The present invention is a method for providing atomicity for host write Input/Outputs (I/Os) in a Continuous Data Protection (CDP)-enabled volume. When a host overwrite Input/Output (I/O) is initiated by a host against a data block of the CDP-enabled volume, the method may include creating an in-flight write log entry and providing the in-flight write log entry to an in-flight write log of the CDP-enabled volume. The in-flight write log entry may correspond to the host overwrite I/O. The method may further include locating mapping table information in a mapping table of the CDP-enabled volume. The mapping table information may correspond to the data block. The method may further include recording a journal entry in a journal of the CDP-enabled volume. The journal entry may include a journal entry timestamp which corresponds to the host overwrite I/O. The method may further include allocating a storage location for the host overwrite I/O.01-07-2010

20110264857MEMORY EFFICIENT CHECK OF RAID INFORMATION - Disclosed is a RAID data checking system. I/O controllers to read data RAID data from the storage devices and transfer that data to virtual memory address ranges. The P+Q checking function receives the data sent to the virtual memory address ranges. However, instead of storing the incoming data, the P+Q checking function updates intermediate values of the P and Q redundant data calculations associated with the incoming data. When all of the strips have been received, the P+Q checking function will have completed the calculation of P and Q redundant data. In this case, after all the strips and the P or Q data have been received, the P+Q checking function will hold zeroes if all the data and the P and Q data was correct and hold non-zero values if there was an error.10-27-2011
