Abstract: Communication fabric-coupled computing architectures, platforms, and systems are provided herein. In one example, an apparatus includes a management entity configured to establish a compute unit comprising components from among a plurality of physical computing components by at least instructing a communication fabric communicatively coupling the plurality of physical computing components to establish logical isolation within the communication fabric to form the compute unit. Responsive to an indication of a change in workload associated with at least a software component deployed to a processing element of the compute unit, the management entity is configured to adjust the logical isolation to alter a quantity of the plurality of physical computing components in the compute unit in accordance with the change in the workload.

Abstract: Computing architectures, platforms, and systems are provided herein. In one example, system is provided. The system includes a management processor configured to initiate a communication arrangement between a first endpoint device coupled to a communication fabric and a second endpoint device coupled to the communication fabric. The communication arrangement is configured to redirect a transfer from the first endpoint device based on an address corresponding to an address range of the second endpoint device without passing the transfer through a host processor coupled to the communication fabric that executes an application initiating the transfer.

Abstract: Disaggregated computing architectures, platforms, and systems are provided herein. In one example, a method includes instructing a communication fabric to establish a first logical partition in the communication fabric that includes a first processing device and a memory device, and directing transfer of configuration data for storage by the memory device over the first logical partition. After transfer of the configuration data, the method includes instructing the communication fabric to remove the first logical partition in the communication fabric, where the configuration data remains stored by the memory device after removal of the first logical partition. The method also includes instructing the communication fabric to establish a second logical partition in the communication fabric that includes at least a second processing device and the memory device comprising the configuration data, where the second processing device is operated using the configuration data.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system of backing up at least one encrypted computer file encrypted by an encryption filter driver running on an operating system of a computer system and restoring at least one encrypted computer file encrypted by an encryption filter driver running on an operating system of a computer system. In an exemplary embodiment, the method and system of backing up at least one encrypted computer file encrypted by an encryption filter driver running on an operating system of a computer system include (1) receiving the filename of the encrypted computer file, (2) starting a backup process for the encrypted computer file, (3) disabling the encryption filter driver for the backup process, (4) backing up the encrypted computer file via the backup process, and (5) reenabling the encryption filter driver for the backup process.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable code are provided for reclaiming backup data storage space in memory. The process receives a selection to reclaim a set of memory locations associated with a set of backup copies of a selected file. The process searches a plurality of memory locations for the set of memory locations associated with the set of backup copies. The process then removes the data associated with the set of backup copies from the set of memory locations to form a set of reclaimed memory locations. The set of reclaimed memory locations are unoccupied by data associated with the set of backup copies of the selected file.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for securing decrypted files in a shared environment. A filter driver in a kernel space may be configured to control service requests to encrypted files stored in a shared area, e.g., a shared directory on a disk unit, accessible by multiple users. The filter driver may receive a service request to open an encrypted document in the shared area issued from an authorized user. Upon receiving the encrypted data, the filter driver may decrypt the encrypted data. The filter driver may subsequently store the decrypted data in a file in a non-shared area, e.g., a non-shared directory. The non-shared area may be accessible only by the authorized user that requested access to the encrypted file. By storing the decrypted data in a file in the non-shared area, a file once decrypted may be protected in a file sharing environment.
