Patent number: 8060542Abstract: A server instance, which is a collection of LUNs, containing an operating system, any applications and data storage. A processing element is the physical hardware. The combination is a server as normally understood. Templates are used to define server instances and server types to simplify deploying a server instance to a processing element. A graphical user interface provides the templates where the particular storage groups are identified and then server instances are created from lists of operating systems, applications, and available storage. The management service processor is a PXE server and provides the necessary software to identify the components of the processing element and correlate between the processing element and a server instance. The management service processor then automatically provides software to the processing element to allow it correctly boot. The management service processor manages the interconnection of the processing element and the relevant LUNs.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2009Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.Inventors: Vinod R Shankar, Peter H. Benoit, Xinhong (Henry) Zhang, Eric Lindvall

Patent number: 6873877Abstract: A method and system for encoding digital information is disclosed. According to the method, media program information is captured and used to produce a media program file. An encoding request is received from a client which requests that the media program information be encoded in one or more encoding formats. A set of encoding engines are selected that can encode the media program information in each of the one or more encoding formats. The media program file is then sent to the selected set of encoding engines to encode the media program information in the one or more encoding formats.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2000Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Loudeye Corp.Inventors: Martin Tobias, Beverley Kite, Mathews Brown, Eric Lindvall, Jeffrey Oberlander, Aron Roberts, Anna Hansen, Gregory Malley, Ken Suzuki
