Patent number: 11368374Abstract: A hosting system is provided. The hosting system includes a grid of hardware nodes for provisioning virtual servers including a first virtual server for a first user and a second virtual server for a second user. The hosting system further includes dedicated servers including a first dedicated server for the first user and a second dedicated server for the second user. A switch, in response to the first virtual server and the second virtual server having overlapping virtual local area network (VLAN) identifications (IDs), defines a first broadcast domain for the first user and a second broadcast domain for the second user, places the first virtual server and the first dedicated server in the first broadcast domain, and places the second virtual server and the second dedicated server in the second broadcast domain.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yogesh Angrish, Yueqin Lin, Martin A. Berryman, Justin M. Kitagawa, Paul Lappas

Patent number: 10333782Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of managing cloud resources on several of nodes of a hosting system. The method receives a cloud resource configuration. The method identifies a particular node from the several nodes to host the cloud resource configuration. The method sets an administrative state of the hosting system to reflect the hosting of the cloud resource configuration on the particular node. The administrative state includes information for each node in the hosting system. Each node includes a performer operating on the node that manages an operational state of the node based on the administrative state of the node.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: OPEN INVENTION NETWORK LLCInventors: Justin M. Kitagawa, Ryan E. Hobbs, Lee F. Rosen, Daniel R. Sawyer, Jayson C. Vantuyl

Patent number: 10218536Abstract: Some embodiments provide a hosting system for provisioning and managing servers (e.g., virtual servers, dedicated servers) in a switched network. In some embodiments, the hosting system receives a configuration for one or more servers for a particular entity (e.g., customer, user). The hosting system then identifies a grid identity and a set of virtual local area network (VLAN) identities for the particular entity. The hosting system then deploys the configuration for the one or more servers on one or more grid-specific hardware nodes using the grid identity and the set of VLAN identities. In some embodiments, the hosting system identifies a local VLAN identity that is associated with a grid-independent hardware node, where a grid-independent hardware node and grid-specific hardware nodes may co-exist in the same switched network.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Open Invention Network LLCInventors: Yogesh Angrish, Justin M.

Publication number: 20170142054Abstract: A mail server collects messages from a number of user accounts and presents them to the user from a single location. Forwarded messages are automatically reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. Messages may be reformatted to include the phone number of the message sender. The reformatted message can then present the user with an option to return the message via a phone call. The reformatted message can include more than one phone number, in which case the sender's phone numbers can be prioritized for presentation to the user. The reformatted message can also present the user with an option to review notes or other contact-specific information prior to responding to the message.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2016Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Jens U. Horstmann, Vincent L. Tang, Alan Rothkopf, Tal Dayan, Arie Avnur, Justin M. Kitagawa, Carolyn B. Boyce, Aleksandr M. Schvartsman, Aswath N. Satrasala, Ajay Govindarajan

Patent number: 9479638Abstract: A server includes a mail interface that can communicate messages using various formats and protocols to track down recipients of important messages. An automated dispatcher maintains dispatching rules that establish preferences for message routing. The dispatching rules distinguish between email, mobile-phone, and pager addresses and communication protocols and can be set to try different addresses and protocols to get a message to one or more recipients. Forwarded messages can be reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. Messages may be reformatted to include the phone number of the message sender. The reformatted message can then present the user with an option to return the message via a phone call. The reformatted message can include more than one phone number, in which case the sender's phone numbers can be prioritized for presentation to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: MXGO Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jens U.

Patent number: 9288117Abstract: Some embodiments provide a hosting system for managing virtual and dedicated servers. The system includes a front-end user interface (UI) that allows users to configure, provision, and control virtual and dedicated servers through UI elements. The back-end system includes different actuators that perform different tasks related to the virtual and dedicated server. To interface with these different actuators, the hosting system includes a remote management component (1) that receives a user request from the front-end UI, (2) identifies an actuator that can fulfill the user request, and (3) sends the user request to the identified actuator.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2011Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: GoGrid, LLCInventors: Yogesh Angrish, Yueqin Lin, Martin A.

Patent number: 7546351Abstract: A communication server collects messages from a number of user accounts and presents them to the user from a single location. The user can set the mail server to block unwanted messages and to forward others to various receiving devices, including mobile telephones and pagers. Forwarded messages are automatically reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. The retained copy can be viewed later if the user is interested in message content that was not available to the wireless device. The user can also use the wireless device to forward the original message to another receiving device. In the case of forwarding, the saved original message and not the reformatted message is sent to the forwarding address. Replies to messages directed to the user from different message sources identify the user by message source to allow the user to maintain separate email identities.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2007Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: MXGOInventors: Jens U.
