  • Patent number: 11680418
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a common tower configured to be erected adjacent a building structure into construction. The tower comprises spaced apart columns, made of vertically aligned column hollow sections, spacedly and substantially vertically positioned adjacent the building structure, and vertically spaced apart flooring structures releasably and slidably supported by the spaced apart columns using a plurality of sliders. Each flooring structure is being capable of vertical displacement when supported by the spaced apart columns. The tower further comprises an anchoring system adapted to securely engage with the building structure to maintain the spaced apart columns substantially upright, as well as protection structures adapted to surround the flooring structures. A safe and easy erection of the tower using a common tower assembly is described.

  • Patent number: 9900391
    Abstract: Orchestration of infrastructure service blocks (ISBs) within a hosted service may be automated. A datacenter deploying the hosted service may include one or more zones, each zone including at least a network and a server farm comprising one or more servers performing various roles within an infrastructure of the hosted service. A first orchestrator may receive a network and server manifest from the datacenter to be configured within an automation framework of the first orchestrator to create an ISB and/or update another ISB for each zone of the datacenter. The created ISB and/or updated other ISB may be deployed to a second orchestrator that may image the servers within each zone of the datacenter with the created ISB and/or updated other ISB. The hosted service may then be deployed at the datacenter such that the servers within each zone of the datacenter include the created ISB and/or updated other ISB.

  • Patent number: 9442715
    Abstract: A cyclical patching process associated with a cloud application may be defined to ensure high availability (HA) of the cloud application in order to prevent impacting an availability to end users. A list of server identities corresponding to one or more servers of a datacenter hosting the cloud application may be accepted. HA metric values for each of the server identities may be determined in order to compute an overall HA metric value for the cloud application. A subset of the servers may be removed from a rotation framework of the cloud application based on the determined HA metric values, where the removal does not affect the overall HA metric value of the cloud application. One or more patches may be applied to each server within the subset of servers in parallel, and the subset of servers may be reinstated in the rotation framework of the cloud application.
