Abstract: A client-isolation internal/external fabric LCS provisioning system includes an orchestrator device coupled to a client device via an external fabric, and coupled to resource devices via an internal fabric that is not accessible to the client device via the external fabric. The orchestrator device configures the resource devices to communicate with each other in a manner that satisfies a workload intent for a workload requested by the client device, and presents an LCS provided using the configured resource devices to the client device via the external fabric. When the orchestrator device receives LCS communication(s) directed to the LCS from the client device via the external fabric, it provides instruction(s) to at least one of the resource devices via the internal fabric that are based on the LCS communication and that are configured to cause the at least one of the resource devices to perform function(s) for the LCS.

Abstract: A Logically Composed System (LCS) resource device access control and management system includes an orchestrator device in a resource system that is coupled to a resource management system, resource devices, and a presentation/management subsystem. The orchestrator device receives an identification from the resource management system of a first subset of the resource devices for providing a first LCS, and first Service Level Agreement (SLA) information defining a first SLA for the first LCS. Based on the first SLA information, the orchestrator device allocates a first portion of a first resource device included in the resource devices to satisfy the first SLA for the first LCS, and provides a first resource device portion configuration instruction to the presentation/management subsystem that is configured to cause the presentation/management subsystem to configure the resource system to allow the first LCS to access and utilize the first portion of the first resource device.

Abstract: A Logically Composed System (LCS) resource policy enforcement system includes resource devices coupled to an LCS provisioning administrator device, a client system, and an orchestrator device coupled to the resource devices and the client system. The orchestrator device uses a first subset of the resource devices to provide an LCS to the client system based on a workload intent provided by the client system, associates the LCS with a client identifier for the client system, and tags each of the first subset of the resource devices being used to provide the LCS with the client identifier. The orchestrator device then identifies a LCS policy for the LCS and applies the LCS policy to each of the first subset of the resource devices tagged with the client identifier to cause the LCS policy to be enforced on the client system and the LCS provisioning administrator device.

Abstract: A Logically Composed System (LCS) resource device functionality provisioning system includes an orchestrator device coupled to resource devices and a resource management system. The orchestrator device identifies functionality available from the resource devices via at least one resource device communication protocol, and advertises logical functions that correspond to the functionality available from the resource devices to the resource management system via a resource management system communication protocol that is different than the at least one resource device communication protocol. When the orchestrator device receives a request from the resource management system via the resource management system communication protocol to utilize a subset of the logical functions to provide an LCS, it configures the subset of the logical functions to provide the LCS via the at least one resource device communication protocol, and provides the LCS to a client device using the subset of the logical functions.

Abstract: A Logically Composed System (LCS) life-cycle management system includes an orchestrator device coupled to resource devices. The orchestrator device configures the resource devices to provide an LCS to a client device. The orchestrator device also identifies interdependencies between the resource devices and, based on those interdependencies, determines life-cycle management operations available for the LCS and presents the life-cycle management operations to the client device. When the orchestrator device receives a request to perform a first life-cycle management operation on the LCS, it performs the first life-cycle management operation on the first LCS based on the interdependencies identified between the resource devices.

Abstract: An LCS resource device access control and management system having a resource system including an orchestrator device coupled to a resource management system and resource devices. The orchestrator device receives an identification from the resource management system of the resource devices for providing an LCS, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) information defining an SLA for the LCS. The orchestrator device uses the SLA information for the LCS to monitor each of the resource devices during their providing of the LCS and, in response, identifies a first resource device that is performing first resource device functionality that is not satisfying the SLA for the LCS. In response, the orchestrator device provides the LCS using a second resource device that performs second resource device functionality that satisfies the SLA for the LCS in place of the first resource device.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide modern storage networks, such as those utilizing a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system, with connectivity options that meet low-latency and high-throughput demands. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by enabling network entities to acquire and utilize network information, including discovery information, to dynamically manage routing tables and build routes, e.g., to allow a host to send out frames through desired interfaces to reach target destinations. An automated IP routing update service allows for dynamically creating, reading, updating, and deleting functions of otherwise static IP routing table entries to streamline functions in the storage fabric.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide zero-configuration provisioning for modern storage networks such as those utilizing a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system. In various embodiments, this is accomplished by leveraging discovery information, such as multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) information, to locate subsystems in a network and to explicitly and dynamically specify target destinations without a Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) client having to modify its routing table.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically adjusting the operating parameters of a rate-adaptive cardiac pacemaker in which maximum exertion levels attained by the patient are measured at periodic intervals and stored in order to compute or update a maximum exercise capacity. The slope of the rate-response curve is then adjusted to map an exertion level corresponding to the updated maximum exercise capacity to a maximum allowable pacing rate. In accordance with the invention, a maximum exercise capacity is determined by cross-checking periodic maximum exertion level sensor values with a motion-level sensor value.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically adjusting the operating parameters of a rate-adaptive cardiac pacemaker. In accordance with the method, maximum exertion levels attained by the patient are measured at periodic intervals and stored. The stored maximum exertion levels may then be used to update a long-term maximal exertion level, and the slope of the rate-response curve is adjusted to map the updated long-term maximal exertion level to a maximum allowable pacing rate. The stored maximum exertion levels may also be used to update a sensor target rate which is used to adjust the slope of the rate response curve.
