  • Patent number: 7149776
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating the collaborative co-browsing of a document or web page. A collaboration server retrieves content of a page on behalf of a collaboration participant or attendee. Each attendee operates or views the content with a browser that is augmented with a collaboration applet. Tags, links, script code and other references that may cause a different page to be accessed or loaded fro the current page are transformed or replaced on the server before the page is distributed to the attendees. In particular, events and redirections that may cause the attendee browser to directly navigate to another page are transformed on the server. Pre-determined rules may be applied to prevent some attendees from viewing certain content (e.g., financial or personal data). A page may be further transformed at a client browser, to redirect a hyperlink to the collaboration server or to trap some other event.

  • Patent number: 7103653
    Abstract: An integrated management mechanism of a storage area network (SAN) integrates and manages a traditionally dispersed security system from a single source and automates security management in the SAN. The integrated management mechanism integrates and manages the SAN, and is configured so that access relationships of the host computers and the storage devices of the SAN are managed using the integrated management mechanism. An access path on the integrated management mechanism, including a region of the storage devices to which access is attempted from the host computer, the fiber channel adapters used when accessing that storage, and the host bus adapters (HBA) are configured. Based on the access path information configured, the integrated management mechanism establishes respective storage settings, zoning settings, and accessible region permissions for a SAN management mechanism of the host computer, a zoning settings mechanism of the switch, and a storage management mechanism of the storage device.
