Patent number: 7941507Abstract: The invention provides apparatus and systems for high availability execution of applications executing on one or more digital data processor platforms. For example, a system according to one aspect of the invention includes a first set digital data processors, each of which executes one or more applications. These are referred to as “primaries” or “primary applications.” A second set of digital data processors execute virtual machines, each of which, in turn, executes an image of a corresponding primary application. These are referred to as “imaged” or “imaged applications.” Each of the first and second sets may have one or more digital data processors. Agent functionality residing on and/or coupled to the digital data processors in the first and second sets maintains state/configuration information for each imaged application.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Network Engines, Inc.Inventors: Kevin J. Murphy, Jr., John Amaral

Patent number: 7900056Abstract: Methods for management of software installation and/or execution utilize a third-party management system to load a “fingerprint” to user digital data processing equipment before a file (such as a patch installation file) can be installed and/or executed on that equipment. The fingerprint can be a filename, file length, CRC code and/or encrypted form of one or more of the foregoing or of any other information that identifies the software to be installed and/or executed.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2005Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Network Engines, Inc.Inventor: Kevin J.

Patent number: 7668098Abstract: Methods and apparatus for improving the upstream data transfer rate for a cable modem. A device that shares an upstream channel with other devices determines whether, based on particular data, an upstream channel data transfer rate can be improved over a current data transfer rate of a current upstream channel from the device to a remote system. If the upstream channel data rate can be improved, the device improves the upstream channel data transfer rate based, at least in part, on the particular data used to determine whether the data transfer rate can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2003Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kevin J. Murphy, Tair Shapiro, Michael M. Stahl

Publication number: 20090089871Abstract: The invention provides, in one aspect, a digital data processing device includes a firewall device and a computer, both housed within the same enclosure and sharing a common path to the Internet (or other external network), yet, not sharing the same substantive processing logic. Thus, by way of example, the firewall device does not the computer's central processing unit (CPU) to execute firewall logic. The digital data processing device can be arranged to limit connectivity and/or functionality of the computer and/or firewall device, e.g., absent authentication. Thus, for example, the computer and firewall can be coupled to the common path—e.g., a modem, network interface card or other communications port supporting access via wired (e.g., wired ethernet and coaxial), wireless (e.g., satellite, telephony, 802.11x), and/or optical (e.g., fiber) means—such that that access by the computer to the Internet (or other external network) is mediated by the firewall device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2006Publication date: April 2, 2009Applicant: NETWORK ENGINES, INC.Inventors: Kevin J. Murphy, JR., John Amaral, Don Adams

Publication number: 20080222604Abstract: The invention provides in some aspects a digital data processor executing management software that controls overall operation of the device, including, installation, configuration, updating, and/or other modifications of its software, hardware and configuration files and other “assets.” The management software validates changes to those assets (e.g., software updates and configuration file edits) requested by system administrators and others and can propagate related changes to other assets. As a result, it keeps the digital data processor in a consistent, working state, avoiding operational interruption that might otherwise result from corruption of assets (e.g., lost files) and/or attempts to install inconsistent assets.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2008Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicant: NETWORK ENGINES, INC.Inventor: Kevin J.
