Patent number: 11916911Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for enrollment of gateway enrollment for Internet-of-Things (IoT) device management. In some examples, a client device receives a gateway management installation package from a management service. The client device installs a gateway management application to the gateway device using the installation package. Enrollment credentials are entered through a user interface generated using the gateway management application and shown on the client device. The client device instructs the gateway management application enroll the gateway device with the management service. Usage of the enrollment credentials prevents a user from being exposed to gateway credentials that authenticate communications between the gateway device and the management service.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Glen McCready, Ravishankar Chamarajnager, Greg Bollella, Muhammad Akbar, Michael Robert Jones

Patent number: 11665052Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for gateway onboarding for IoT device management. In one embodiment, management service data is received. The management service data includes an enterprise identifier, and a management service address that specifies a network endpoint of the management service. A gateway is registered in association with the management service data based on receiving a registration request comprising: a gateway identifier, and the enterprise identifier. An activation request with the gateway identifier is received from the gateway, and the management service data is provided to the gateway.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Ravishankar Chamarajnager, Niranjan Maka, Glen McCready, Greg Bollella, Vasudev Yendapally

Patent number: 11190513Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for enrollment of gateway enrollment for Internet-of-Things (IoT) device management. In one example, enrollment credentials are generated that permit functionality limited to enrollment operations. A request to enroll a gateway with the management service is received. The request includes the enrollment credentials, and is received from the gateway. Gateway credentials are generated for authentication of the gateway with the management service. The gateway credentials are transmitted to an application executed by the gateway without being provided to the user by the application. The gateway is authenticated with the management service using the gateway credentials.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Glen McCready, Ravishankar Chamarajnager, Greg Bollella, Muhammad Akbar, Michael Robert Jones

Patent number: 11144227Abstract: Techniques for implementing content-based post-process data deduplication are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system can receive a write request comprising write data to be persisted to a storage system and can sample a portion of the write data. The computer system can further execute one or more analyses on the sampled portion in order to determine whether the write data is a good deduplication candidate that is likely to contain redundancies which can be eliminated via data deduplication. If the one or more analyses indicate that the write data is a good deduplication candidate, the computer system can cause the write data to be persisted to a staging storage component of the storage system. Otherwise, the computer system can cause the write data to be persisted to a primary storage component of the storage system that is separate from the staging storage component.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2017Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Adrian Marinescu, Glen McCready

Patent number: 11018930Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for gateway onboarding for IoT device management. In one embodiment, activation of a gateway is initiated by transmission of a request to activate the gateway to a network address. The request to activate the gateway includes a gateway identifier that uniquely identifies the gateway. A gateway enrollment agent is received. Enrollment of the gateway with the management service is performed using the gateway enrollment agent. The enrollment includes a transmission of a request to enroll the gateway to a management service address and an installation of an enrollment policy received from the management service. The gateway enrollment agent is updated to a gateway management agent that includes an ability to install at least one IoT device management product.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: VMWARE INC.Inventors: Ravishankar Chamarajnager, Niranjan Maka, Glen McCready, Greg Bollella, Vasudev Yendapally

Patent number: 10708261Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for enrollment of gateway enrollment for Internet-of-Things (IoT) device management using a client device. In one example, an onboarding token is retrieved using a request for the onboarding token. The request is authenticated based on user credentials. A gateway account is created using a request to create the gateway account that is transmitted to the management service. The request to create the gateway account includes a gateway identifier. The request is authenticated based on the onboarding token. Gateway credentials for the gateway account are relayed from the management service to the gateway. The gateway credentials authenticate communications between the gateway and the management service. The gateway credentials are concealed from users of the client device.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Meenakshi Vohra, Glen McCready, Greg Bollella
