Publication number: 20240069952Abstract: A plurality of different virtualization system images are configured for deployment to a plurality of nodes in heterogeneous environments. Individual ones of the virtualization system images are configured such that once deployed, the nodes form a computer cluster having a storage pool that is shared across the nodes. When configuring the virtualization system images, information that describes the heterogeneous computing environments is accessed, and constraints pertaining the heterogeneous computing environments are reconciled in advance of configuring the different virtualization system images. A common subnet across the heterogeneous environments is established. The plurality of different virtualization system images are configured to access the common subnet once deployed. The common subnet serves as a storage I/O communication path over which a cluster-wide storage pool is implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Joshua John BERRY, Mohan MATURI, Shlomo Shlomi VAKNIN, Aman NIJHAWAN, Anil Kumar KUSHWAH, Avi BHANDARI, Jan Ralf Alexander OLDERDISSEN

Patent number: 11385881Abstract: A method for forming a virtualization system image. A specification of an expressed end state of a virtualization system image is analyzed. The specification is decomposed into lower level specifications and the lower level specifications are decomposed into idempotent operations. The virtualization system image corresponding to the expressed end state is assembled by processing the idempotent operations. The expressed end state, decomposed lower level intents, and decomposed idempotent operations are codified into a decomposition hierarchy. The decomposition hierarchy is query-able such that, for a given intent, an idempotent operation is returned. An idempotent operation code library is query-able such that, for a given idempotent operation, a corresponding set of executable code is returned. An image builder executes the executable code. When all of the idempotent operations have been successfully executed, the virtualization system image is complete.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Inventors: Joshua John Berry, Mohan Maturi, Shlomo Shlomi Vaknin

Patent number: 10799656Abstract: A flow of breathable gas is delivered to a subject through a patient interface assembly. An enhanced technique for determining whether the airway of subject is disengaged from the patient interface assembly. A model that provides predicted values of a dynamic property of the flow of breathable gas is fit to measured values of the dynamic property. The model and/or the fit of the predicted values to the measured values are then analyzed to determine whether or not the airway of the subject is disengaged from the patient interface assembly. This provide enhanced determination of these conditions even in implementations in which a restrictive patient interface assembly is used.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Nathan John Berry Ann, William Anthony Truschel
