Abstract: A method and system for managing a storage cluster is described. An identification of a plurality of nodes of a storage cluster to be removed from the storage cluster is received. It is determined whether to allow the removal of the plurality of nodes. In response to a determination that the removal of the plurality of nodes is allowed, identifications are made of data migrations to be performed to rebalance the data among nodes remaining in the storage cluster after removal of the plurality of nodes. The data migrations are performed. The plurality of nodes are removed from the storage cluster.

Abstract: A wearable telecommunications device enabling a user to engage in teleconferencing activity from nontraditional locations, while allowing the user free use of his hands. The wearable telecommunications device houses a plurality of input and output devices removably attached to the body of the wearable device. The input and output devices generally include one or more cameras, motion sensors, at least one microphone, and at least one power source. The housing generally consists of wearable headgear such as a helmet. The headgear will have a smaller display near the user's right or left eye, and can also have a larger display mounted on the exterior, whereby others can view information, or the user can view information.
