  • Publication number: 20240231842
    Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring, managing, and maintaining a distributed network of information handling systems. The system includes a first information handling system and a second information handling system. The first information handling system creates a software bundle. The second information handling system receives the bundle from the first information handling system, and executes an executable included in the bundle. The executable changes a configuration of the second information handling system from a first operating state to a second operating state.

  • Publication number: 20230119227
    Abstract: Functionalized solid supports are useful in the synthesis of oligonucleotides. The functionalized solid supports contain an extended linker to a terminal functional group or a first nucleotide or nucleoside moiety. The extended linker permits oligonucleotide synthesis to take place at a greater distance from the solid support with greater efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9746900
    Abstract: Systems and methods for redundant object storage are disclosed. A method may include storing at least two copies of each of a plurality of objects among a plurality of nodes communicatively coupled to one another in order to provide redundancy of each of the plurality of objects in the event of a fault of one of the plurality of nodes. The method may also include monitoring access to each object to determine a frequency of access for each object. The method may additionally include redistributing one or more of the copies of the objects such that at least one particular node of the plurality of nodes includes copies of only objects accessed at a frequency below a predetermined frequency threshold based on the determined frequency of access for each object. The method may further include placing the at least one particular node in a reduced-power mode.

  • Patent number: 9652408
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing data integrity for stored data are disclosed. A method may include, in connection with the receipt of a read command at a storage resource, reading a data block from the storage resource, the data block including a data field, a data integrity field indicating the integrity the data field, and an encryption indicator field indicating whether the data block is encrypted with a current cryptographic key for the storage resource. The method may further include determining whether the data field is encrypted with the current cryptographic key based at least on the encryption indicator field. The method may additionally include returning at least a portion of the data block in reply to the read command in response to determining that the data field is encrypted with a cryptographic key other than the current cryptographic key.

  • Patent number: 9535866
    Abstract: A wide link communicates information between a storage enclosure having plural storage devices and an information handling system by selectively configuring upstream and downstream paths of narrow links to communicate in the same direction. A link load analyzer detects predetermined conditions, such as over utilization or under utilization of narrow link capacity, which initiates a re-configuration of the direction of information through a path of a narrow link. A master link manager configures a narrow link path to manage communication of configuration information for one or more narrow link paths configured to communicate in a direction.
