  • Patent number: 8654749
    Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing IT services in edge environments are described. In some examples, the system comprises a transportable housing capable of being carried by personnel, a plurality of commercial off-the-shelf components contained in the housing and coupled together and configured to provide the broadband communications network, a software management system operatively coupled to the plurality of components, a network connection subsystem defined by at least a first portion of the plurality of components and configured to establish access to the broadband communications network, and a connection subsystem defined by at least a second portion of the plurality of components and that provides a user with a connection to the broadband communications network via the network connection subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20080201595
    Abstract: An intelligent power control system for intelligently controlling startup and shutdown sequences of IT equipment to reduce peak power requirements is provided. The intelligent power control system sends an indication to power up to a power module connected to an electronic device. The system monitors the power consumption of the electronic device during startup, and determines when the electronic device has reached a peak level of power consumption. The system then powers up other devices based on the power consumption characteristics of each preceding device. The system may use similar techniques when shutting down devices or transitioning devices from a low-power state to a normal power state.

  • Publication number: 20080005380
    Abstract: The integrated management system provides a unified interface for common management tasks related to managing interconnected devices, such as in an integrated computer system. First, the integrated management system provides a unified backup and restoration facility for backing up and restoring the configuration of multiple devices through a single user interface presented to the operator. The integrated management system also provides a monitoring facility for monitoring the health of multiple hardware devices in through a single user interface. Finally, the integrated management system makes configuration of multiple devices easier by providing a unified interface for common configuration tasks.
