  • Patent number: 7584264
    Abstract: Data storage and retrieval systems and related methods are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a system includes data processing servers configured to receive incoming data and transmit the data for storage. The system also includes data storage servers each coupled to one or more data storage units and configured to receive transmitted data for writing to the one or more data storage units, and to read data from the one or more data storage units. Furthermore, the systems may include data retrieval servers coupled to one or more of the data storage servers and configured to retrieve data from the one or more data storage units. The system further includes process modules each associated with one of the data storage servers, where at least two of the process modules are configured to write a portion of the data to corresponding data storage units.

  • Publication number: 20080228695
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for presenting information relating to event-based data aggregated in an event-based data aggregation system. A dashboard interface is presented which includes report summary data for each of a plurality of reports to which a user has access. Each report corresponds to a subset of the event-based data derived with reference to an associated report rule set. At least one of the report rules sets is editable by the user. The report summary data are updated in response to detection of new event-based data being added to the event-based data aggregation system which match a first one of the report rule sets.

  • Publication number: 20080016167
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are filtering systems and methods that employ an electronic message source reputation system. The source reputation system maintains a pool of source Internet Protocol (IP) address information, in the form of a Real-Time Threat Identification Network (“RTIN”) database, which can provide the reputation of source IP addresses, which can be used by customers for filtering network traffic. The source reputation system provides for multiple avenues of access to the source reputation information. Examples of such avenues can include Domain Name Server (DNS)-type queries, servicing routers with router-table data, or other avenues.

  • Publication number: 20060242708
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and the like for the management of filtered messages and filtering settings. Embodiments use the interaction of a user and a notification message to execute commands/requests. In one aspect, a notification message is used to notify a computer user of filtered incoming electronic messages that are stored in a quarantine server and database. In one embodiment, the notification message comprises message data having information regarding incoming messages blocked from reaching the destination server and stored in the quarantine server and database. Also in this embodiment, the message includes user interface data selectable by the user to manage the handling of incoming messages. In addition, the message includes action logic associated with the user interface data and configured to execute the selections made by the user by sending commands from the user's computer to the quarantine server and database via a computer network.
