  • Patent number: 8732215
    Abstract: Discovering environment objects for information management in a networked environment. Information management provides services such as data protection, backup, retention, compliance, etc., by classifying the objects and/or infrastructure of an entity according to its value to the entity. Information management begins by discovering the data in a network and by discovering the servers and services operating in a network. The servers and services are discovered using adapters that can collect information regarding the environment objects. This information can then by used by information management systems to assign or orchestrate various services.

  • Patent number: 8719263
    Abstract: Persisting metadata in an information management system. During information management, metadata is collected and generated for objects in the computing environment. The metadata is used to classify the objects in order to provide certain services to the objects. The metadata is then selectively persisted to improve performance of the information management system in providing the services. Selectively persisting metadata can also reduce storage requirements.

  • Patent number: 8548964
    Abstract: An information management system delegates information classification to an external computing resource, or classifier. The intelligence required to perform classification, including a series of logic and/or rules, is provided to the classifier. The logic and/or rules are translated from a first format to a second format understandable to the classifier. The information management system discovers objects of an entity and identifies them for the classifier. The classifier collects information about the objects, applies the logic and rules to the objects, and assigns one or more categories to each object. This classification information is translated from the second format to the first format and reported back to the information management system, which may use the assigned categories to identify and map service level objectives to available service levels. After service levels are selected, the corresponding actions can be orchestrated such that the objects of the entity receive the selected services.

  • Patent number: 8543615
    Abstract: A method and system for locating a service provider capable of providing service level objectives for a data object stored within a computer system. The computer system includes an information management service for providing customized services to data objects residing in the computer system. One exemplary method identifies a data object such as a file, folder or database that is associated with service level objectives. Service level objectives may include services that can be provided to the data object. The method also identifies at least one service provider located within the computer system. An information management service request is sent to the service providers containing the service level objectives associated with the data object. Responses are then received from the service providers including which of the service level objectives the service providers are capable of providing to the data object.

  • Patent number: 8522248
    Abstract: Information management is provided. Information management may include a method of monitoring the information management processes. The method may include delegating one or more information management processing operations to one or more external computing resources. The information management processing operations require intelligence provided by an information management server. Monitoring information received from the external computing resources indicates that the external computing resources are performing the one or more delegated information management processing operations. An analysis of a subset of data objects from the information management system is performed to ensure that the delegated information management process operations have been performed on the data objects.

  • Publication number: 20130066843
    Abstract: Providing information classification in a computer system for use in an information management system. Information management provides services such as data protection, backup, retention, compliance, etc., by classifying the objects and/or environment of an entity according to its value to the entity. Initially a series of rules are identified relating to information management services. Using these rules, information is classified into categories by using a series of plugins that relate to specific characteristics of information within data. Often, classification includes the collection and/or generation of metadata. After the data is classified, service level objectives can be identified and mapped to service levels. After service levels are selected, the corresponding actions can be orchestrated such that the objects of the entity received the selected services in the service level.

  • Patent number: 8046366
    Abstract: A method and system for providing data indexing as a customizable service within an information management system. One exemplary method collects information about data objects in a computer system and maps each of the data objects to a service level objective for defining a level of data indexing to be applied to the data objects. The level of data indexing may define whether or not a file will be indexed, and to what extent the file will be indexed. Then, the method orchestrates the data indexing according to the service level objective of each of the data objects. The present invention allows a user to customize data indexing on a file by file basis so that only those files in need of indexing are indexed.

  • Patent number: 7752312
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing information management services to data objects at both global and local levels. The computer system includes an information management server for providing customized services to the data objects. One exemplary method identifies data objects that have been divided into logical groups within a computer system. A first and second set of information management rules are also identified, where the first set of information management rules has been associated with one of the logical groups. The first set of information management rules is applied to the data objects located within the logical group associated with the first set of information management rules, and the second set of information management rules is applied to all of the data objects in all of the logical groups. The second set of information management rules may include global service areas and levels that are offered by the information management server.

  • Publication number: 20080071727
    Abstract: A method and system for classifying environment components within a computer system. The computer system includes an information management service for defining services to be provided to data objects residing in the computer system. One exemplary method identifies environment components, such as servers, storage locations, databases, applications, and the like, within the computer system. The service level capabilities of each of the environment components are then identified. The environment components are then classified in accordance with their identified service level capabilities. By categorizing the environment components in accordance with their service level capabilities, the service level objective requests of data objects residing in the system can efficiently be matched to the environment components that are capable of providing the requested services.

  • Patent number: 6990493
    Abstract: Methods and systems of searching a file access system for a requested file. One embodiment includes allocating memory for directory cache and buffer cache. The directory cache stores a directory file layout. The directory cache is searched for a requested file, and a pointer points to where the name of the requested file is stored in the buffer cache. If the directory cache does not exist, then the embodiment reverts to conventional file access methods. The directory cache may store only selected directories. The selected directories may be chosen based upon at least one of the number of files in a directory, the frequency of use or access, or other user-specified criteria.
