  • Method and system for storing configuration information for network nodes in a network management system
    Patent number: 8996668
    Abstract: A method for storing configuration information for a network node in a network management system, the method comprising: installing a node type package for the node in the system, the node type package corresponding to a node type of the node, the node type package being a pluggable software module containing the configuration information; receiving a signal from a user to instantiate the node type for the node; presenting one or more items of the configuration information to a user in a configuration form displayed on a display screen of the system; and, receiving one or more signals from a user for adjusting one or more of the items.

  • Database RAM cache
    Patent number: 7792885
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for providing a shared RAM cache of a database, accessible by multiple processes. By sharing a single cache rather than local copies of the database, memory is saved and synchronization of data accessed by different processes is assured. Synchronization between the database and the shared cache is assured by using a unidirectional notification mechanism between the database and the shared cache. Client APIs within the processes search the data within the shared cache directly, rather than by making a request to a database server. Therefore server load is not affected by the number of requesting applications and data fetch time is not affected by Inter-Process Communication delay or by additional context switching. A new synchronization scheme allows multiple processes to be used in building and maintaining the cache, greatly reducing start up time.
