  • Patent number: 11418573
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing an abstraction layer for one or more file transfer tools that may operate on a public network, or on a network controlled by an organization or enterprise. In some examples, a computing system may serve as a front-end for a managed file transfer system that may hide some details of the operations performed by the file transfer system. The computing system may interact with one or more managed file transfer systems (or similar systems) to provision a data path between computing systems, perform a file transfer between the computing systems, perform sustainment tasks associated with the data path, and/or perform lifecycle management tasks associated with the data path.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 16, 2022
    Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

  • Patent number: 7111129
    Abstract: The cache keeps regularly accessed disk I/O data within RAM that forms part of a computer systems main memory. The cache operates across a network of computers systems, maintaining cache coherency for the disk I/O devices that are shared by the multiple computer systems within that network. Read access for disk I/O data that is contained within the RAM is returned much faster than would occur if the disk I/O device was accessed directly. The data is held in one of three areas of the RAM for the cache, dependent on the size of the I/O access. The total RAM containing the three areas for the cache does not occupy a fixed amount of a computers main memory. The RAM for the cache grows to contain more disk I/O data on demand and shrinks when more of the main memory is required by the computer system for other uses.
