Patent number: 10713039Abstract: A linguistic semantic analysis application integration system includes an application and one or more linguistic semantic analysis databases that include application-specific programming language information that identifies application-specific programming language terms utilized in providing the application. A linguistic semantic analysis engine is provided a module to be utilized by the application, and operates to analyze the module to determine methods and properties included in the module. The methods and properties are then parsed to identify library programming language terms included in the methods and properties, and those library programming language terms are matched with the application-specific programming language terms included in the application-specific programming language information. Based on that matching, intent for the methods and properties is determined, and that intent is used to automatically generate integration code for integrating the module with the application.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Arunava Das Gupta, Vaideeswaran Ganesan

Patent number: 10715449Abstract: A layer 2 load balancing system includes server devices that provide virtual machines that each share a virtual Media Access Control (MAC) address. A switch device is coupled to each of the server devices via respective ports on the switch device. The switch device receives the virtual MAC address during a time period via each of the respective ports connected to the server devices and, in response, identifies a server device cluster that shares the virtual MAC address. When the switch device receive packets that are part of a packet flow and that are directed to the virtual MAC address, it then directs each of the packets that are part of the packet flow to one of the virtual machines that is provided on one of the server devices in the server device cluster.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Narayanaswamy Perumal, Dinesh Babu Kannan, Balaji Venkat Venkataswami

Patent number: 10715630Abstract: A Common Information Module (CIM) interoperability system includes a server device coupled to a network. A remote access controller in the server device is coupled to server component(s), and includes a CIM provider coupled via a CIM provider communication subsystem to a REpresentational State Transfer (REST)-CIM provider. The REST-CIM provider receives a REST request generated by a client device and redirected to the REST-CIM provider by the server device, and converts the REST request to CIM request. The REST-CIM provider then makes a call to the CIM provider that includes the CIM request and is based on a type of HTTP method request in the REST request. When the REST-CIM provider receives a CIM response from the CIM provider, it converts Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI) response data in that CIM response to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) objects, and provides the JSON objects to the server device.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Chitrak Gupta, Chandrasekhar Puthillathe, Kiran Krishnappa, Abhirup Seal, Hari Venkatachalam
