Publication number: 20080059214Abstract: In accordance with certain aspects of the model-based policy application, each of a plurality of policies is associated with appropriate parts of a model of a heterogeneous system. A deployment agent is invoked to apply each of the plurality of policies to components associated with the parts of the model. An identification of a change to one of the plurality of policies is received, and the deployment agent is also invoked to apply the changed policy to selected ones of the components associated with the parts of the model.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2007Publication date: March 6, 2008Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anders Vinberg, Bruce Copeland, Robert Fries, Kevin Grealish, Jonathan Hardwick, Michael Healy, Galen Hunt, Aamer Hydrie, David James, Anand Lakshminarayanan, Edwin Lassettre, Raymond McCollum, Rob Mensching, Mazhar Mohammed, Rajagopalan Narayanan, Geoffrey Outhred, Zhengkai Pan, Efstathios Papaefstathiou, John Parchem, Vij Rajarajan, Ashvikumar Sanghvi, Bassam Tabbara, Rene Vega, Vitaly Voloshin, Robert Welland, John Wilson, Eric Winner, Jeffrey Woolsey

Publication number: 20070006218Abstract: Model-based virtual system provisioning includes accessing a model of a workload to be installed on a virtual machine of a system as well as a model of the system. A workload refers to some computing that is to be performed, and includes an application to be executed to perform the computing, and optionally includes the operating system on which the application is to be installed. The workload model identifies a source of the application and operating system of the workload, as well as constraints of the workload, such as resources and/or other capabilities that the virtual machine(s) on which the workload is to be installed must have. An installation specification for the application is also generated, the installation specification being derived at least in part from the model of the workload and the model of the virtual system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2005Publication date: January 4, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anders Vinberg, Robert Fries, Kevin Grealish, Galen Hunt, Aamer Hydrie, Rob Mensching, Geoffrey Outhred, John Parchem, Bassam Tabbara, Rene Vega, Robert Welland, Eric Winner, Jeffrey Woolsey

Publication number: 20060037002Abstract: Model-based provisioning of test environments includes accessing a model of an application to be installed in a test environment of a system and further accessing a model of the system and a model of the test environment. An installation specification for the application is also generated, the installation specification being derived at least in part from the model of the application, the model of the system, and the model of the test environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2005Publication date: February 16, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anders Vinberg, Robert Fries, Kevin Grealish, Galen Hunt, Aamer Hydrie, Edwin Lassettre, Rob Mensching, Geoffrey Outhred, John Parchem, Przemek Pardyak, Bassam Tabbara, Rene Vega, Robert Welland, Eric Winner, Jeffrey Woolsey

Publication number: 20060025985Abstract: A model of a system is generated and used as a basis for managing the system. As the system is managed, the system model can be updated to reflect changes to the system. Managing of the system can include one or more of provisioning applications in the system, provisioning applications in virtual systems, provisioning test environments, monitoring the configuration of the system, monitoring the system including the health of the system, performing capacity planning for the system, and propagating attributes to different components in the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2005Publication date: February 2, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anders Vinberg, Bruce Copeland, Robert Fries, Kevin Grealish, Jonathan Hardwick, Michael Healy, Galen Hunt, Aamer Hydrie, David James, Anand Lakshminarayanan, Rob Mensching, Rajagopalan Narayanan, Geoffrey Outhred, Ken Pan, Efstathios Papaefstathion, John Parchem, Vij Rajarajan, Ashvinkumar Sanghvi, Bassam Tabbara, Rene Vega, Vitaly Voloshin, Robert Welland, Eric Winner, Jeffrey Woolsey

Publication number: 20050246487Abstract: In order to provide a more efficient persistent storage device, one or more long-term storage media are included along with a non-volatile memory. In one embodiment, one portion of the non-volatile memory is used as a write buffer and a read cache for writes and reads to the long-term storage media. Interfaces are provided for controlling the use of the non-volatile memory as a write buffer and a read cache. Additionally, a portion of the non-volatile memory is used to provide a direct mapping for specified sectors of the long-term storage media. Descriptive data regarding the persistent storage device is stored in another portion of the non-volatile memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2004Publication date: November 3, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Cenk Ergan, Clark Nicholson, Dan Teodosiu, Dean DeWhitt, Emily Hill, Hanumantha Kodavalla, Michael Zwilling, John Parchem, Michael Fortin, Nathan Obr, Rajeev Nagar, Surenda Verma, Therron Powell, William Westerinen, Mark Zbikowski, Patrick Stemen

Publication number: 20050157733Abstract: Automatic compilation of address filter information permits a cable modem to route incoming data packets to destination devices. A cable modem uses address filter information, such as for example, a list of addresses of communication devices that have previously registered with the cable modem, to identify incoming data packets that are addressed to communication devices associated with the cable modem. Incoming data packets with addresses that are not in the address filter information are filtered out. However, the cable modem may have insufficient filter information, when, for instance, a new communication device is associated with the cable modem. In order to automatically register communication devices associated with the cable modem, the cable modem inspects the source addresses of outgoing data packets. If the source address is not included in the address filter information, the source address is added.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2005Publication date: July 21, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jun Liu, John Parchem, Daniel Shoff, Soemin Tjong
