Patent number: 10719587Abstract: Some embodiments of an entitlement model have been presented. In one embodiment, a centralized server distributes copies of an operating system from a software vendor to a set of virtual guests of a virtual host running on a physical computing machine. The centralized server and the physical computing machine are coupled to each other within an internal network of a customer of the software vendor, whereas the centralized server has access to the software vendor external to the internal network of the customer. The centralized server may interact with a hypervisor of the physical computing machine to determine what type of license of the operating system the virtual host has and a number of copies of the operating system requested by the virtual guests.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2008Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Michael B. McCune, Peter A. Vetere, Robin L. Norwood, Maureen E. Duffy

Patent number: 9798448Abstract: A system for full-screen heterogeneous desktop display and control is described. In one implementation, a method includes determining, by a processing device of a computing device, that a source is connecting with the computing device and is a candidate for assignment to a desktop graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device, when the source is not assigned to an existing desktop GUI, generating, by a desktop manager of the computing device, a new desktop GUI on the computing device for the source, and assigning the new desktop GUI for the source to a scaled representation element in a desktop management interface provided by the desktop manager, the desktop management interface providing a plurality of scaled representation elements for a plurality of desktop GUIs on the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2013Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventor: Maureen E. Duffy

Patent number: 9491037Abstract: Some embodiments of an enhanced exporter tool have been presented. In one embodiment, a connected centralized server is synchronized with an external server of a software vendor over an external network. The connected centralized server may reside in an internal network of a customer of the software vendor. Content from the connected centralized server is exported to a disconnected centralized server of the customer according to a set of criteria. The disconnected centralized server may reside in a secured portion of the internal network of the customer.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2008Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Pradeep Kilambi, Maureen E. Duffy

Patent number: 9241002Abstract: Some embodiments of supporting trusted relationships between multiple organizations in a networked system have been presented. In one embodiment, a centralized server manages a networked system, which includes the centralized server and a set of computing machines coupled to each other within an internal network of a customer. The centralized server may segregate data and encapsulating resources within the networked system by a set of organizations created by the customer. Furthermore, a trusted relationship defined by a system administrator of the centralized server may be applied to a first one and a second one of the set of organizations.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2008Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Shannon Ray Hughes, Jesus M. Rodriguez, Pradeep Kilambi, Jeffrey R. Ortel, Maureen E. Duffy

Patent number: 8468519Abstract: Some embodiments of multiple organization support in a networked system have been presented. In one embodiment, a centralized server manages a networked system, which includes the centralized server and a set of computing machines coupled to each other within an internal network of a customer. The centralized server segregates data within the networked system by grouping data into the concept of an organization created by the customer in order to isolate the organizations.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2008Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Shannon Ray Hughes, Maureen E. Duffy, Michael B. McCune, Pradeep Kilambi, James S. Slagle

Patent number: 8239557Abstract: Some embodiments of virtualization management using a centralized server have been presented. In one embodiment, a centralized server obtains metadata of an operating system and information on provisioning computing resources from a software vendor. The centralized server is deployed within an internal network of a customer of the software vendor, where the internal network further includes a set of at least one physical machine. The centralized server may further generate a graphical user interface to allow users of the centralized server to manage a set of virtual machines running on the set of at least one physical machine. The set of virtual machines may include at least one virtual host and at least one virtual guest.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Michael B. McCune, Peter A. Vetere, Robin L. Norwood, Maureen E. Duffy
