  • Patent number: 9684539
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for logically remediating infrastructure resource components are disclosed. According to one example, the method includes interfacing an infrastructure component remediation (ICR) device to a plurality of infrastructure resource components located at a data facility area in order to assess a configuration state for each of the plurality of infrastructure resource components. The method further includes identifying, via the interfaced ICR device, a disparity existing between a converged infrastructure baseline configuration and the assessed configuration states associated with the infrastructure resource components, and remediating, via the interfaced ICR device, the plurality of infrastructure resource components to logically operate as a converged infrastructure that complies with the converged infrastructure baseline configuration.

  • Patent number: 9684527
    Abstract: An integrated computing system configuration system includes a computing system that executes an engine to receive component specifications for each of one or more components supplied by a plurality of suppliers, and receive user input for selecting a subset of the component specifications to be implemented in a customized integrated computing system by generating a base configuration that comprises the component specifications of the subset of the components. From the received component specifications and user input, the engine may generate a component classification for each component specification according to its functionality, validate each component classification according to one or more other component specifications in the subset of components, and display the validated components for each component on a display.

  • Patent number: 9594640
    Abstract: A backup/recovery system for a computing environment includes a computing device that executes an agent to obtain a recovery plan (RP) comprising one or more provisioning steps to be performed for provisioning a plurality of resources associated with a source computing environment. The RP including configuration information associated with a hardware configuration and a software configuration of a source computing environment functioning at a first operational level in which the configuration information being sufficient to restore a target computing environment to at least a portion of the first operational level of the source computing environment. From this obtained information, the agent translates the configuration information into a specified format, and outputs the translated configuration information to a computer-readable file.

  • Patent number: 9576332
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems and methods for providing remote graphics processing unit (GPU) availability to one or more computing components of a data center. In particular, the present disclosure provides the remote location of one or more GPUs within a computing environment for use by one or more computing devices within the computing environment. Thus, each computing device may utilize the remotely located GPUs to perform the tasks of the computing device associated with a GPU, without the need for the GPU to be located within the computing device itself or within the same rack of the computing device. In this manner, one or more GPUs of a computing environment may provide GPU services to any number of computing devices, even though the GPUs are remote from the computing devices.

  • Patent number: 9552226
    Abstract: A predictive order status system includes one or more processors to receive a request for a current order status of an order for a computing environment, the order having at least one task representing a segment of an order process for completing the order and the request associated with a unique order identifier, determine the current order status for the order for the computing environment, the current order status comprising a simulated percentage value that is based on an amount of elapsed time since the order was placed divided by a total order process time to complete the order, determine an exception status for the order for the computing environment, the exception status being one of on track to be completed within the total order process time to complete the order, possibly at risk for being completed within the total order process time to complete the order, and at risk for being completed within the total order process time, and send a graphical user interface representation of the current order st

  • Patent number: 9521776
    Abstract: A chassis rail stabilizer that may be used to securely support a rack mount rail in a server rack, in particular during transportation of the server rack. The chassis rail stabilizer includes a first body with a front face and a back face, and four rail supporting sides. The stabilizer further includes a second body extending off of the front face of the first body and an offset threaded through hole that extends through the first and second bodies. The offset nature of the through hole is such that the stabilizer may be secured to a vertical mounting post in a server rack in one of four orientations. Each orientation causes one of the rail supporting sides to extend downward a different distance to support a top surface of the rail beneath.

  • Patent number: 9483281
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for updating components in a converged infrastructure system are disclosed. According to one method, the method includes identifying components in a converged infrastructure system that require remediation in order to comply with a defined converged infrastructure configuration and determining remediation content to enable each of the identified components to be compliant with the defined converged infrastructure configuration. The method further includes retrieving the remediation content for the identified components from a repository and utilizing the remediation content to update the identified components on the converged infrastructure system in accordance with the defined converged infrastructure configuration.
