  • Patent number: 10218536
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a hosting system for provisioning and managing servers (e.g., virtual servers, dedicated servers) in a switched network. In some embodiments, the hosting system receives a configuration for one or more servers for a particular entity (e.g., customer, user). The hosting system then identifies a grid identity and a set of virtual local area network (VLAN) identities for the particular entity. The hosting system then deploys the configuration for the one or more servers on one or more grid-specific hardware nodes using the grid identity and the set of VLAN identities. In some embodiments, the hosting system identifies a local VLAN identity that is associated with a grid-independent hardware node, where a grid-independent hardware node and grid-specific hardware nodes may co-exist in the same switched network.

  • Patent number: 10200422
    Abstract: A system comprises client devices that include user interfaces that comprise workspaces that can be used to display a live history of a multimedia collaboration session. The workspaces can be private and can be configured to display information representative of media elements that can be shared within the multimedia collaboration session, but that are only viewable to a participant associated with a particular client device. The private workspaces can be used to preview information before publishing it to other participants or to view a live history of the multimedia collaboration session.

  • Patent number: 10191609
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of providing a user with a customized user interface is disclosed. One example may include generating a window display area based on at least one predefined user preference, and displaying the window display area in a specified location of the user. The method may also include prompting the user to select at least one particular application that may be associated with the window display area, and prompting the user to customize the window attributes by modifying the window display area. Other operations may include saving the customized window display area in a memory of a computing device once the user has completed the customizing of the window attributes.

  • Patent number: 10191796
    Abstract: Statistical application-agnostic fault detection of multi-process applications in environments with data trend includes at least one of: a multi-process application that runs on a host. Statistical events are collected and sent to a statistical fault detector. The statistical fault detector creates one or more distributions and compares recent statistical event data to historical statistical event data and uses deviation from historical norm for fault detection. If needed, trend is removed from event data prior to the creation of distributions. Faults are detected within the application and within the environment wherein the application executes, if conditions within the environment cause impaired application performance.

  • Patent number: 10185642
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for statistical application-agnostic fault detection of multi-process applications. The computer readable medium includes computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system. A multi-process application runs on a host. Interceptors collect statistical events and sends said events to a statistical fault detector. The statistical fault detector creates one or more distributions and compares recent statistical event data to historical statistical event data and uses deviation from historical norm for fault detection. The present invention detects faults both within the application and within the environment wherein the application executes, if conditions within the environment cause impaired application performance. The invention also teaches consensus fault detection and elimination of cascading fault notifications based on a hierarchy of events and event groups.
