Patent number: 8903769Abstract: An adaptive data replication and caching system configured for deployment at the network edge. This system can include a data caching system configured to cache application data in a data store and to satisfy queries for application data from the cache. The system also can include a data replication system configured to replicate application data in the data store and to satisfy queries for application data against the replicated application data. Finally, the adaptive data replication and caching system can include a configurator for configuring portions of the data store for exclusive use by the data caching system and the data replication system.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2007Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Khalil S. Amiri, Ronald P. Doyle, Yongcheng Li, Thomas Francis McElroy, Sanghyun Park, Renu Tewari, Dinesh Chandra Verma

Publication number: 20130254258Abstract: An apparatus and method for off-loading application components to edge servers are provided. An application is made edge-aware by defining which components of the application may be run from an edge server, and which components cannot be run from an edge server. When a request is received that is to be processed by an application on an origin server, a determination is made as to whether the application contains edgable components. If so, an edgified version of the application is created. When a request is received that is handled by a component that may be run on the edge server, the request is handled by that component on the edge server. When a request is received that is handled by a component that is not edgable, the request is passed to a proxy agent which then provides the request to a broker agent on the origin server.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2013Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Rajesh S. Agarwalla, Khalil S. Amiri, Madhu K. Chetuparambil, James R. Giles, Manu M. Gugnani, Shih-pai Lee, Subbarao K. Meduri, Mahesh Patil, Dinesh C. Verma

Patent number: 6950823Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are provided for the dynamic caching of data based on queries performed by a local application, where the system includes a remote server having a complete database, a local database on an edge server including a subset of the complete database, the edge server in communication with the remote server, shared tables within the local database on the edge server for caching results from the complete database, receiving locally generated data, and adjusting the contents of the cache based on available storage requirements while ensuring consistency of the data between the local database and the remote database; the apparatus includes an edge data cache including a query evaluator, a cache index, cache repository, resource manager, containment checker, query parser and consistency manager all in signal communication with the query evaluator; and the method for a local server to satisfy a database query meant for at least one remote server includes dynamically caching results of previType: GrantFiled: December 23, 2002Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Khalil S.

Patent number: 6934799Abstract: This invention describes methods, apparatus and systems for virtualization of iSCSI storage. Virtual storage isolates the clients from the management of physical storage resources. In this invention, each physical storage device supports multiple logical units (LUNs). Each supported LUN is associated with a separate TCP port number and iSCSI commands received on a given port implicitly refer to the associated LUN. An iSCSI host addresses each logical unit of storage (LUN) with a virtual IP address and port number. Using an address translation table, the virtualization gateway rewrites the destination IP address in the header of an incoming packet as well as the destination port number to correspond to the target physical LUN. Migration of logical units across physical storage devices is supported by changing the address translation entries at the gateway; and the gateway can be provided by a standard network router with support for address translation.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2002Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Arup Acharya, Khalil S.
