  • Method and system for providing dynamic hosted service management across disparate accounts/sites
    Patent number: 6816905
    Abstract: A hosted service provider for the Internet is operated so as to provide dynamic management of hosted services across disparate customer accounts and/or geographically distinct sites. For each of a plurality of customer accounts, a plurality of individual servers are allocated to a common administrative group defined for that customer account. Each administrative group is configured to access software and data unique to that customer account to provide hosted services for that customer account. The system automatically monitors the performance and health of the servers in each administrative group. At least one server from a first administrative group is automatically and dynamically reallocated to a second administrative group in response to the automatic monitoring.

  • Packaging architecture for a data server
    Patent number: 5877938
    Abstract: A rack-mount data server includes a housing, a plurality of data server components supported by the housing, the components including at least one peripheral storage device, a logic chassis for the data server, at least one disk drive on which the data server stores files, and at least one power supply, and a plurality of racks coupled with the housing to accommodate the data server components, the racks including a first topmost rack accommodating the at least one peripheral storage device and a second rack accommodating the logic chassis, the housing supporting the second rack underneath the first rack as the second topmost rack. The data server also includes a front door and a top door, the top door and the front door being interlockable with each other such that when the top door and the front door are in their closed positions, one of the top door and the front door locks the other of the top door and the front door in its closed position.
