  • Publication number: 20140200903
    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for providing emergency alerts on a geospatial display. In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method can include receiving event data from one or more data management systems. The method can include determining at least one emergency event exists based at least in part on the received event data. Furthermore, the method can include outputting, via a display device, a scaled geospatial arrangement corresponding with a physical location, a grid, or a list. Moreover, the method can include outputting, via a display device, at least one color corresponding to the at least one emergency event, wherein the at least one color is one of a set of pre-assigned colors.

  • Publication number: 20020056031
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved electronic data storage management that allow the file system to physically adapt and optimize to a variety of add-on hardware components (such as hard disks, removable drives, CD ROM drives, etc.) while virtually maintaining a stable system configuration from an application software point of view. The Redirector presents a virtual view of the file system by providing a virtual view of logical volumes. Through the use of a Redirector component, all application program file API's to the operating system are filtered; if the file, or directory is redirected, then the call is sent in a modified form to the operating system to its redirected physical location. The physical movement of files is accomplished through the use of a Migrator component. The Migrator makes a copy of the file, verifies the correctness of the copy, updates the redirector table, and then removes the physical file from its original location.
