Patent number: 8730840Abstract: In a system comprising a first fabric and a plurality of devices coupled to the fabric by Fiber Channel connections, the devices are logically grouped to form configurations and zones. A configuration includes at least one zone, and each zone includes at least one device as a member of the zone. Communications between the devices is restricted according to the configuration currently in effect. For example, one device may be permitted to communicate with another device only if they are members of a common zone.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Polycom, Inc.Inventors: David Banks, Kumar Malavalli, Paul Ramsay, Kha Sin Teow, Jieming Zhu

Patent number: 8689347Abstract: A system and method that regulates the various operations between computing stations and storage devices. Storage devices are the storage means that are contained upon devices that are able to have data stored upon them. Any operation that involves or may lead to the exchange or accessing of content (data) between a storage device and computing station may be regulated by means of a policy which comprise a set of rules. Rules may be defined according to specific criteria, including the type of storage device, the type of content, the attributes of the content, and other attributes associated with the storage device and/or the content. The policy will be dynamically installed upon a computing station for specific user(s) and will regulate the data operations that may take place between the computing stations and storage devices based on evaluation of the policy. Based on the evaluation of the policy, the requested operation is permitted, restricted in some areas, or denied.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2006Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: CryptoMill Inc.Inventors: Kha Sin Teow, Ernest Dainow, Leonid Nikolaev, Daniel Thanos

Patent number: 6785742Abstract: A method and system for a management station managing a plurality of routing devices within a fabric. In one embodiment, this management of routing devices comprising the fabric occurs in the Storage Area Network environment. Use is made of a protocol which already exists in a Storage Area Network environment, such as the Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI (“FCP”, for managing routing devices within a fabric. Each routing device comprising the fabric is assigned a logical unit number, which, in one embodiment, is based on the domain identifiers of each routing device. Further, the routing device to which the management station is physically is also labeled as LUN 0, and serves as the logical fabric SCSI Enclosure Services controller unit. The fabric interacts with the management station as though the fabric were a logical fabric SCSI Enclosure Services device coupled to a plurality of logical fabric SCSI Enclosure Services units.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2000Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.Inventors: Kha Sin Teow, Paul Ramsay

Patent number: 6353612Abstract: A probing device for resolving the limitations of fabric registration by providing a fabric with a system and method for concurrently probing multiple end-devices, which would otherwise be unusable to register with the fabric, to registration information. In addition, by relying upon the probing device, a fabric can avoid requiring any end-devices from having to initiate registration with the fabric.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1998Date of Patent: March 5, 2002Assignee: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jieming Zhu, Paul Ramsay, Vince Guan, Kha Sin Teow
