  • Publication number: 20080046774
    Abstract: A redundant clock distribution architecture is provided for a blade clustering system to achieve SMP (symmetric multi-processor) capability and flexible system configuration. The architecture mainly provides a central clock signal from a central clock and a local clock signal from an operative local clock configured on each blade module of the system. A clock multiplexer selects the central clock signal and sends to plural local clock consumers on each blade module. The clock multiplexer switches to send the local clock signal if the central clock fails.

  • Publication number: 20070300286
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for detecting unsolicited and threatening communications and communicating threat information related thereto. Threat information is received from one or more sources; such sources can include external security databases and threat information data from one or more application and/or network layer security systems. The received threat information is reduced into a canonical form. Features are extracted from the reduced threat information; these features in conjunction with configuration data such as goals are used to produce rules. In some embodiments, these rules are tested against one or more sets of test data and compared against the same or different goals; if one or more tests fail, the rules are refined until the tests succeed within an acceptable margin of error. The rules are then propagated to one or more application layer security systems.

  • Patent number: 7308702
    Abstract: A system and method for defining and enforcing a security policy. Security mechanism application specific information for each security mechanism is encapsulated as a key and exported to a semantic layer. Keys are combined to form key chains within the semantic layer. The key chains are in turn encapsulated as keys and passed to another semantic layer. A security policy is defined by forming key chains from keys and associating users with the key chains. The security policy is translated and exported to the security mechanisms. The security policy is then enforced via the security mechanisms.
