  • Publication number: 20140149846
    Abstract: A method for generating a website includes obtaining a seed input associated with an entity. The seed input may include one or more keywords, such as a business name. Obtaining the seed input may include receiving the seed input from the user, or the seed input may be obtained without input from the user. The seed input is used to identify the entity. The method further includes retrieving, using at least one of the seed input and the identification of the entity, content relevant to the entity from one or more data stores. Retrieving the content may include using one or more categories relevant to the entity to identify the content. The website is generated without an input from the entity, and includes at least a portion of the content. Generating the website may include identifying a template having a plurality of content regions for containing the content.

  • Patent number: 8626866
    Abstract: A network caching system has a multi-protocol caching filer coupled to an origin server to provide storage virtualization of data served by the filer in response to data access requests issued by multi-protocol clients over a computer network. The multi-protocol caching filer includes a file system configured to manage a sparse volume that “virtualizes” a storage space of the data to thereby provide a cache function that enables access to data by the multi-protocol clients. To that end, the caching filer further includes a multi-protocol engine configured to translate the multi-protocol client data access requests into generic file system primitive operations executable by both the caching filer and the origin server.

  • Publication number: 20130067319
    Abstract: Illustrative embodiments improve upon prior machine learning techniques by introducing an additional classification layer that mimics human visual pattern recognition. Building upon classification passes that extract contextual information, illustrative embodiments look for hints of high-level semantic categorization that manifest as visual artifacts in the document, such as font family, font weight, text color, text justification, white space, or CSS class name. An improved lightweight markup language enables display of machine-categorized tokens on a screen for human correction, thereby providing ground truths for further machine classification.

  • Publication number: 20100325377
    Abstract: A technique is disclosed for restoring data of sparse volumes, where one or more block pointers within the file system structure are marked as ABSENT, and fetching the appropriate data from an alternate location on demand. Client data access requests to the local storage system initiate a restoration of the data from a backing store as required. A demand generator can also be used to restore the data as a background process by walking through the sparse volume and restoring the data of absent blocks. A pump module is also disclosed to regulate the access of the demand generator. Once all the data has been restored, the volume contains all data locally, and is no longer a sparse volume.

  • Publication number: 20100125598
    Abstract: An architecture, including a file-level protocol, for supporting sparse volumes on a storage system is provided. The file-level protocol provides coherency checking for use in retrieving data stored on a backing store remote from a storage system.

  • Patent number: 7386674
    Abstract: A system and method are provided to manage configuration of multiple file server appliances. The method comprises receiving a read request and, responsive to the receiving of the read request, utilizing a readahead engine to issue a readahead request. A portion of the readahead request that can be read from a local storage is delivered to the local storage system. A portion of the readahead request that can be read from a remote storage is delivered to the remote storage system.
