20100198793METHODS OF MULTI-SERVER APPLICATION SYNCHRONIZATION WITHOUT STOPPING I/O - A method according to one embodiment includes receiving a request to perform a backup of data associated with an application running on multiple servers; calculating a time value based on communications with the servers, the time value calculation including at least one of a latency of at least one of the communications, and a difference between a reference time clock value and a time clock value of at least one of the servers; and communicating with I/O Handlers on the servers for initiating a coordinated backup operation on the data at about a same start time. Additional systems, methods, and computer program products are also disclosed.08-05-2010
20100198949METHODS OF CONSISTENT DATA PROTECTION FOR MULTI-SERVER APPLICATIONS - A method according to one embodiment includes receiving a request to perform a snapshot of data associated with an application running on multiple servers; coordinating I/O Freezers on different servers for freezing data requests from instances of the application running on the servers; and after determining that the I/O Freezers have frozen the data requests, requesting initiation of a snapshot operation to take the snapshot of the data.08-05-2010
20110078115METHODS OF CONSISTENT DATA PROTECTION FOR MULTI-SERVER APPLICATIONS - A system according to one embodiment includes at least one processor configured to: receive a request to perform a snapshot of data associated with an application running on multiple servers; instruct I/O Freezers on different servers to freeze data requests from instances of the application running on the servers; and instruct the I/O Freezers to initiate snapshot processing on the data associated with the application so that the I/O Freezers perform the snapshot processing within the same window of synchronization.03-31-2011

20110022601BLOCK LEVEL TAGGING WITH FILE LEVEL INFORMATION - Embodiments for data tagging in a computing environment are provided. A write operation in an operating system (OS) file system level storage layer is intercepted. A set of signatures in a sub-chunk level is calculated. The set of signatures are aligned to the beginning of an OS file system-level object and stored in a memory location, such as a cache, along with file system information relating to the write operation and to the file system-level object that the data is written into. Following file system processing, and as the data is written into storage in blocks, the write operation is intercepted in the block level storage layer. A secondary set of signatures in a sub-block level is calculated using a common algorithm used to create the original set of signatures. The sets of signatures are compared against each other, and blocks of the data having matching signatures are tagged with the file system information stored in the memory location.01-27-2011

20080301663System and Method for Providing Uninterrupted Operation of a Replication System During a Software Upgrade - A software upgrade tool and procedure provide uninterrupted operation of a replication system during an upgrade of software components of the system. The replication system includes one or more user systems coupled to one or more target storage systems over a communications network, such as a computer network. Illustratively, each user system is embodied as a replication client, while each target storage system is embodied as a replication server. In addition, the replication system includes a management system embodied as a management server that manages configuration of the system, including during upgrade of the software components of the replication system. To that end, the software upgrade tool cooperates with the management server to query the configuration of “old” versions of the software components and to manage upgrades of those components to “new” versions of software. According to the invention, the upgrade tool and procedure enable both the old and new versions of the software components to run concurrently on the replication client and replication server, as well as the management server.12-04-2008

20090024719Methods and apparatus for enabling use of web content on various types of devices - A method system for interactive communication with a web site using a mobile communicator having the following functionalities: receiving, at a server, an http request from a mobile communicator being used by a user, the http request identifying a website and should the mobile communicator not support a client-side script employed by the website, causing the server to emulate the script so as to enable the user to interact with the website.01-22-2009
20090044098Methods and apparatus for enabling use of web content on various types of devices - A system and method for configuring web content for display on mobile communicators including receiving an operator-selected web page, selection, by an operator, of at least one cell-based element of the web page, arrangement, by an operator, of the at least one cell-based element at a desired position in a page template; and creating at least one mobile communicator adapted page by automatically placing at least one cell-based element, indicated by the template, of at least another web page, having a page structure similar to the operator-selected web page, at a desired position indicated by the template.02-12-2009
20090044126Methods and apparatus for enabling use of web content on various types of devices - A method and system for displaying web content on a display screen including the following functionality: in response to a user request, downloading the web page to a server, recognizing, by the server, the presence in the web page of an image comprised of sub-images, combining, by the server, the sub-images into a single image and supplying by the server the single image for display on the display screen.02-12-2009
20100095024MOBILE SITES DETECTION AND HANDLING - Apparatus and method for providing content to a user including a request processing module operative to receive a request for content, from a user operating a non-desktop browser, and to communicate the request to a server hosting the content, a content classification module, operative to receive the content from the server hosting the content and to ascertain whether or not the content is already suitable for display on a non-desktop browser based on at least one characteristic of the content and a content adaptation module, operative to receive a classification output from the content classification module and to adapt the content which is not already suitable for display on the non-desktop browser to be suitable for display on the non-desktop browser.04-15-2010
