Publication number: 20100287271Abstract: A controller, referred to as the “BMonitor”, is situated on a computer. The BMonitor includes a plurality of filters that identify where data can be sent to and/or received from, such as another node in a co-location facility or a client computer coupled to the computer via the Internet. The BMonitor further receives and implements requests from external sources regarding the management of software components executing on the computer, allowing such external sources to initiate, terminate, debug, etc. software components on the computer. Additionally, the BMonitor operates as a trusted third party mediating interaction among multiple external sources managing the computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2010Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Bassam Tabbara, Galen C.

Patent number: 7739380Abstract: A multi-tiered server management architecture is employed including an application development tier, an application operations tier, and a cluster operations tier. In the application development tier, applications are developed for execution on one or more server computers. In the application operations tier, execution of the applications is managed and sub-boundaries within a cluster of servers can be established. In the cluster operations tier, operation of the server computers is managed without concern for what applications are executing on the one or more server computers and boundaries between clusters of servers can be established. The multi-tiered server management architecture can also be employed in co-location facilities where clusters of servers are leased to tenants, with the tenants implementing the application operations tier and the facility owner (or operator) implementing the cluster operations tier.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Galen C.

Patent number: 6760747Abstract: A method and system for invoking by a client computer system of a function of an object of an object class provided by a server computer system. The client sends a request to a server that comprises a Universal Resource Locator (“URL”) that identifies a script, an object class, and a function of the object class to invoke. In response to receiving the request, the server starts the script and transfers control to the script. The script instantiates an object of the object class identified in the URL of the received request and invokes the function identified in the URL of the received request. The invoked function performs the behavior of the function, creates a response to be sent to the client, and sends the response to the client. The response contains state information describing a state of the object after the behavior of the function is performed.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2002Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: James E. Allard, Vincent Fernandes, Kyle W. Geiger, Seth B. Pollack, Chad W. Royal, David S. Stutz

Patent number: 5794038Abstract: A method and system for managing the connection of client components to an interface implemented by a server component. In a preferred embodiment, a user component provides an implementation of an interface and a description of the interface. A component manager aggregates the user component into itself to form a server component. When a client requests a connection to the interface, the component manager retrieves a reference to the interface from the user component and sends the reference to the client components. In a preferred embodiment, the component manager tracks the client components connected through an interface. A user component may also provide multiple interfaces to client components which the component manager also tracks.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1995Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David S.

Patent number: 5485617Abstract: A method and system for dynamically generating object connections is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a connection can be generated between a source object and a sink object using a connection point object. A source object has connection point objects where each connection point object corresponds to a particular interface. A sink object implements one or more notification interfaces for connecting to a source object. A connection point object of a source object can connect to multiple notification interfaces, which belong to one or more sink objects. A connection point object keeps track of pointers to the notification interfaces to which it has been connected. In order to generate a connection, a sink object requests from a source object a connection point object corresponding to a particular interface. The source object determines whether it supports such a connection point object, and if so returns a pointer to the connection point interface of the determined connection point object.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1993Date of Patent: January 16, 1996Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David S.
