  • Multi-service platform module
    Patent number: 7228338
    Abstract: A multi-service platform module (102) having a storage device (220) and a controller (226) coupled to the storage device (220). A first aggregation element (236) is coupled to the storage device (220) and the controller (226), where the first aggregation element (236) is coupled to route access to the storage device (220) between one of a first network (104) and a first transceiver socket (240), and where the controller (226) controls the first aggregation element (236). A second aggregation element (238) is coupled to the storage device (220) and the controller (226), where the second aggregation element (238) is coupled to route access to the storage device (220) between one of a second network (106) and a second transceiver socket (242), and where the controller (226) controls the second aggregation element (238).

  • Method of operating a storage device
    Patent number: 7111066
    Abstract: A method of operating a storage device (220) on a multi-service platform module (102) within a multi-service platform system (100), includes initializing a first aggregation element (236) and a second aggregation element (238) on the multi-service platform module (102), where the first aggregation element (236) is coupled to route access to the storage device (220) between one of a first network (104) and a first transceiver socket (240), and where the second aggregation element (238) is coupled to route access to the storage device (220) between one of a second network (106) and a second transceiver socket (242). A controller (226) coupled to multi-service platform module (102) controls the first aggregation element (236) and the second aggregation element (238). A location (115) of the multi-service platform module (102) is communicated to a platform controller (108), and an address (227) of the storage device (220) is communicated to the platform controller (108).

  • Method of configuring alternative instances of an element class in a software system
    Patent number: 5493681
    Abstract: Alternative instances of an element class are configured in a software system. In one instance, called a single element instance, the software system is configured to support a single element of a class of existing hardware/software elements, called an element class. In another instance, called a multiple element instance, the software system is configured to support multiple elements of the element class. For example, the single element instance might utilize only a single central processing unit (CPU), whereas the multiple element instance allows for several different CPUs to be utilized.
