Abstract: An information handling system includes processing modules and an I/O module. The processing modules each have one of a high or low priority level. The I/O module is coupled to a network device and includes network ports coupled to the processing modules. A port bandwidth control engine (PBCE) determines that the network device is providing a maximum bandwidth to the I/O module, and in response, allocates the maximum bandwidth equally to the processing modules. The PBCE further determines that the network device is providing a reduced bandwidth to the I/O module, and, in response, allocates to each high priority level processing module a first bandwidth on the associated network port and allocates to each low priority level processing module a second bandwidth on the associated network port.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to monitor a health status of storage devices that are part of a virtual disk and to identify a first subset of the storage devices that have a first health status and a second subset of the storage devices that have a second health status. The processing device is also configured, responsive to determining that there is sufficient available storage capacity on the second subset of the storage devices to copy data from used storage capacity on the first subset of the storage devices, to resize the virtual disk to a storage capacity determined as a function of storage capacities of the second subset of the storage devices allocated to the virtual disk and to copy data from the used storage capacity on the first subset of the storage devices to the available storage capacity on the second subset of the storage devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to automatically and dynamically assess or analyze displayed image characteristics of a video display screen together with a current human user's eye ergonomics when viewing a video display screen, and then to automatically and dynamically adjust (e.g., alter or modify) the image characteristics displayed by the video display screen to correct or improve the current user's eye ergonomics and reduce or eliminate human user eye strain.

Abstract: In some examples, a server receives configuration data from a device. The server receives a software or firmware update from a vendor and determines, based on the configuration data, that the update is installable on the device. The server creates and configures a container, based on the configuration data, to create a replica of the device. The server installs the update in the replica and performs multiple tests that generate logs. If the logs indicate that the update caused no issues, the server sends the update to the device. If the logs indicate that the update caused an issue, the server sends the update to the vendor. In response, the server receives, from the vendor, a modified update that addresses the issue, installs the modified update in the replica, performs the tests, determines that the modified update causes no issues, and sends the modified update to the device.

Abstract: A computing device includes a chassis and a processor. The processor obtains a computing device identifier from a removable component disposed in the chassis. The processor makes a determination that the removable component is bound to a second computing device based on the obtained computing device identifier. In response to the first determination, the processor disables the removable component.
