  • File system level data protection during potential security breach
    Patent number: 9306956
    Abstract: Immediately upon identifying a potential breach to a file system, a read-only snapshot of one or more file sets of data stored on a storage volume of the file system is created, and one or more file system protection commands are invoked that restrict access to the snapshot of the file set. Generating the snapshot and restricting access to the snapshot data may include immediately opening an administrative shell for the file-system in response to identifying a potential breach, and executing administrative shell commands that invoke creation of snapshot and limit access of the snapshot data to an administrator or super user.

  • Data based truth maintenance
    Patent number: 9280743
    Abstract: A truth maintenance method and system. The method includes receiving by a computer processor, health event data associated with heath care records for patients.

  • Virtual node subpool management
    Patent number: 9280557
    Abstract: Virtual file system virtual nodes are grouped in subpools in response to identified resource components and managed as a function of their subpool groupings. Virtual nodes are decomposed into individual components linked to each other within each node. The components that have repetitive accesses by applications within the virtual file system and their respective frequencies of repetitive access are identified. Modules of linked occurrences of the repetitive components within each of the plurality of virtual nodes are formed, and subsets of the virtual nodes sharing common modules are grouped into subpools. Accordingly, in response to an application of the virtual file system requesting a service that is satisfied by a subpool common module, selection of a virtual node for reinitiating for reuse by the application is restricted to virtual nodes within the subpool associated with the common module.
