  • Patent number: 9300811
    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to retaining content of a conference call for accelerated replay. The content of the conference call can be recorded. Further, establishment of a connection of a participant to the conference call can be detected. For instance, the connection can be established with a computing device of the participant. Moreover, the establishment of the connection of the participant to the conference call can be detected subsequent to initiation of the recording of the content of the conference call. Responsive to detection of the establishment of the connection of the participant to the conference call, at least a portion of recorded content of the conference call can be transmitted to the computing device for playback at a playback speed that is greater than a speed at which the content is recorded.

  • Patent number: 7464117
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for using directory historical data to facilitate automated file updates. A pair of directories is updated, for example, synchronized, with one another. Directory historical data, such as, for example, previous contents of the directories, is utilized to determine what file operations are to be performed during an update. User-selectable update modes can also be used to further configure what file operations are performed during an update.

  • Patent number: 7395389
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for extending non-volatile storage at a computer system. In some embodiments, a file operation is performed on at least one shadow copy of a file that is perceived by an application to be stored on a single volume. A plurality of shadow copies of a file can be accessed using durable file identifiers that are durable across changes to other file characteristics. It is indicated back to the application that the file operation was performed on the file perceived to be stored on the single volume. Storage capabilities are enhanced through migration and/or replication of files to newly added volumes.
