  • Patent number: 11288111
    Abstract: A method of distinguishing between human and computer actions in a cloud environment includes receiving one or more actions from a monitored cloud environment; identifying a text string associated with the one or more actions; calculating an entropy value for the text string; determining whether the text string is bot-generated based at least in part on the entropy value; and determining whether to generate an alert based at least in part on a result of determining whether the text string is bot-generated.

  • Patent number: 7650073
    Abstract: A system and method of wavelength discovery in network elements having an optical architecture. In one embodiment, a first wavelength topology map is generated for wavelengths inserted in a first direction at each network element. A second wavelength topology map is generated for wavelengths inserted in a second direction at each network element. The first wavelength topology maps are transmitted in the first direction to adjacent network elements over a dedicated overhead wavelength channel. Similarly, the second wavelength topology maps are transmitted in the second direction to adjacent network elements over the dedicated overhead wavelength channel. Responsive to messaging via the dedicated overhead wavelength channel, each of the first and second topology maps are updated at each of the network elements.

  • Patent number: 7046586
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically configuring a robotic storage media library is disclosed. The disclosed invention utilizes software to interpret signals from specially designed hardware to determine the hardware characteristics of the library at startup. The software then uses these characteristics to automatically configure the library without user intervention.

  • Publication number: 20050166029
    Abstract: Methods and systems for upgrading a storage library of a product line having a hardware component such as a storage array operable to run at low and high operating levels in which the hardware component is set to operate at the low operating level includes associating a software key with the storage library. The software key has permission instructions for the hardware component to operate at the high operating level. The hardware component is enabled to operate at the high operating level in response to the software key being associated with the storage library in order to upgrade the storage library.

  • Patent number: 6722564
    Abstract: An automated media library gathers information about each readable cartridge label using a camera. From the label information, the orientation of the cartridge may be determined. For each cartridge with an unreadable label or no label, the media library attempts a get/put operation. If the get/put operation fails, the cartridge is marked as incorrectly oriented. Alternatively, the tape library may attempt a get/put operation on all removable media cartridges. A similar process is performed when a cartridge access port is closed and the cartridge access port is marked inaccessible to the host when an incorrectly oriented cartridge is detected.

  • Patent number: 6609046
    Abstract: A method and system for selecting a robotic mechanism best suited to perform a job from different types of robotic mechanisms in an automated storage library includes gathering variables in a criteria database to form a decision algorithm. The robotic mechanisms are operable for performing the same types of tasks. The variables include attributes of each robotic mechanism type and attributes of each of the robotic mechanisms, media objects, and media object players. In response to attributes of a job request being transferred into the decision algorithm, the decision algorithm selects a robotic mechanism best suited for performing the job request based on the attributes of each robotic mechanism type and the attributes of the robotic mechanisms, media objects, media object players, and the job request.

  • Patent number: 6532402
    Abstract: A method and system for selecting a robotic mechanism best suited to perform a job from multiple robotic mechanisms in an automated storage library includes gathering variables in a criteria database to form a decision algorithm. The variables include attributes of each of the plurality of robotic mechanisms, media objects, and media object players. In response to attributes of a job request transferred into the decision algorithm, the decision algorithm selects a robotic mechanism best suited for performing the job request from the plurality of robotic mechanisms based on the attributes of each of the plurality of robotic mechanisms, media objects, and media object players and the attributes of the job request. The selected robotic mechanism is then controlled to perform the job request.
