  • Patent number: 8416572
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with traditional approaches to cooling information handling resources are provided. A method for cooling information handling resources, may include conveying a flowing fluid proximate to one or more information handling resources such that the flowing fluid is thermally coupled to the one or more information handling resources and heat generated by the one or more information handling resources is transferred to the flowing fluid. The method may also include conveying the flowing fluid to a cooling unit such that heat is transferred from the flowing fluid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2013
    Assignee: Dell Products L.P.
    Inventors: John Olsen, Bradley Jackson, Eric Sendelbach, Gabriel Higham, James Bryan, Jason Franz, Travis North, William Morris

  • Patent number: 7814361
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing redundant data in a storage array are disclosed. In accordance with a method, a pointer indicating the amount of data synchronized between a first storage resource to a second storage resource may be maintained and a power event may be detected. In response to the detection of the power event, an attempt may be made to flush a write cache associated with the second storage resource to transfer data from the write cache to a non-volatile storage area of the second storage resource. A determination may be made whether the attempt to flush the write cache is successful. In response to determining that the attempt to flush the write cache is successful, a flag may be set to indicate that the pointer accurately indicates the amount of data mirrored from the first storage resource to the non-volatile storage area of the second storage resource.
