Patent number: 11824717Abstract: A facility for distributing a template recording a past state of a virtual computing environment is described. The facility accesses a list of physical data centers at which the template is to be available for immediate use to instantiate a new virtual computing environments. The facility causes the template to be stored at each physical data center on the list.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2019Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: SkytapInventors: Bradley M. Schick, Sumit Mehrotra, Ross Andrus, Matthew Hanlon, Yelena Branch

Patent number: 10915218Abstract: Generating a universal graphical desktop sharing protocol is disclosed. The universal graphical desktop sharing protocol is configured to communicate information (e.g., a sequence of one or more desktop sharing events) that has been translated from a first graphical desktop sharing protocol and is available to be translated into a final graphical desktop sharing protocol.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: SkytapInventors: Bradley M. Schick, Petr Novodvorskiy, Alan Pearson

Patent number: 10817318Abstract: A multi-tenant virtual machine infrastructure (MTVMI) allows multiple tenants to independently access and use a plurality of virtual computing resources via the Internet. Within the MTVMI, different tenants may define unique configurations of virtual computing resources and unique rules to govern the use of the virtual computing resources. The MTVMI may be configured to provide valuable services for tenants and users associated with the tenants.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: SkytapInventors: Nicholas Luis Astete, Aaron Benjamin Brethorst, Joseph Michael Goldberg, Matthew Hanlon, Anthony A.

Patent number: 10581720Abstract: A dynamic service routing protocol (DSRP) communicates messages (e.g., containing information regarding network routes and tables) across a partial-mesh network of nodes. Gateway nodes (i.e., computing devices that operate as a final sink point for a service route) are connected to edge routers (i.e., computing devices that operate as a transit for a service route) but not necessarily to other host nodes. Gateway nodes asynchronously and/or dynamically send DSRP messages for updating the router nodes' routing tables and to minimize manual route configuration.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: SkytapInventors: Peter Holland, Bradley M. Schick

Patent number: 10241724Abstract: Generating a virtual storage area network (VSAN) is disclosed. From the perspective of a customer's virtual machine, the VSAN is a logical network of storage devices that provide features that are typically associated with a physical storage access network, such as block level data storage; logical disk arrays; tape libraries; optical jukeboxes; quality of service; disk mirroring, backup and restoration services; archival and retrieval of archived data; data migration from one virtual storage device to another; sharing of data among different virtual machines in a network; and the incorporation of virtual subnetworks.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: SkytapInventors: Bradley M. Schick, Bulat Shelepov, Nikolai Slioussar
