  • Patent number: 9130952
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for searching metadata are described herein. In one embodiment, an example of a process for search metadata includes, hut is not limited to, in response to a search query for metadata stored in one or more of metadata stores, the search query is partitioned into multiple search query segments. Thereafter, searches corresponding to the search query segments are performed, where each search is performed independently within the one or more metadata stores. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

  • Patent number: 6789204
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sharing resources in a network environment. An application running on a client can access a resource on a remote computer by submitting a request via an Internet browser. The request is analyzed, converted to proper format and is transferred over the network lines to a server that can satisfy the request. For security reasons, an application may not be authorized to submit a request directly to a server on the Internet. If a requesting application has a trusted status, then its request for connecting to the server is granted. If a request submitted by an application to a server is denied, then a server that entrusts the application is identified, and the request is submitted to that server. A program code called a “servlet” is implemented on that server to accept the requests submitted by a trusted application. The submitted requests are analyzed by the servlet and are forwarded to a resource server that can satisfy the requests.

  • Publication number: 20030145230
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system for exchanging data utilizing Remote Direct Memory Access. In response to a system call, a Network File System component generates a file request. An External Data Representation component formats the file request and passes the request to a Remote Procedure Call component which initiates the file request with a remote computer system. The Remote Procedure Call is passed to a unifying layer which communicates the the Remote Procedure Call to various transport layer Remote Direct Memory Access implementations. The various Remote Direct Memory Access implementations are used to exchange the data in order to communicate the file request.

  • Publication number: 20010032320
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sharing resources in a network environment. Typically, a computer linked to the Internet may have resources or may provide services, that are usable by other computers. A user, using one or more embodiments of the invention, can access those resources or services as if they were locally situated. An application running on a client can access a resource on a remote computer by submitting a request via an Internet browser. The request is analyzed, converted to proper format and is transferred over the network lines to a server that can satisfy the request. For security reasons, an application may not be authorized to submit a request directly to a server on the Internet. For example, limitations have been implemented that prohibit a requesting application from obtaining access to resources of a server computer unless that application is a trusted application. If a requesting application has a trusted status, then its request for connecting to the server is granted.
