Patent number: 11641397Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for providing access to file systems are provided. An SFA-based operation having an operation modifier for a file in a file system is received. The SFA-based operation is defined based on a file-representational state transfer (REST) interface. The SFA-REST interface comprises integrated functionality of an SFA protocol and REST protocol. The SFA-based operation is executed using the operation modifier. A REST-based operation for the file in the distributed file storage is received. The REST-based operation is defined based on the SFA-REST interface. The operation modifier is referenced in order to execute the REST-based operation. The REST-based operation based on the SFA-REST interface. A schema can be implemented for accessing the file system. The schema includes tables to store files, the table comprises fields corresponding to elements of a SFA-REST interface.

Patent number: 9996384Abstract: Described is a technology by which a virtual machine may be safely migrated to a computer system with a different platform. Compatibility of the virtual machine may be checked by comparing the virtual machine's capabilities against those of the new platform. To ensure compatibility, when created the virtual machine may have its capabilities limited by the lowest common capabilities of the different platforms available for migration. Computer systems may be grouped into migration pools based upon similar capabilities, and/or a virtual machine may be mapped to certain computer systems based upon capabilities needed by that virtual machine, such as corresponding to needed performance, fault tolerance and/or flexibility.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Robert Bradley Bennett, René A. Vega, Shuvabrata Ganguly, Matthew Douglas Hendel, Rajesh Natvarlal Davé, Lars Reuther, Tamás Gál, Yuan Zheng

Patent number: 9565250Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for transferring data using a storage medium are provided. A storage medium may be shipped by a customer to a datacenter such that the data on the storage medium is copied to a storage associated with the datacenter or data in the storage is copied to the storage medium. The datacenter may support a cloud computing infrastructure that provides a storage account to the customer that is associated with the data copied from or copied to the storage medium. The storage medium further corresponds to a data transfer manifest that includes at least in part data mapping between storage service infrastructure and data in the storage medium. It is contemplated that embodiments of the present invention may further be implemented with data transfer service components that support a client component, storage service component, and a data transfer management component.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Bradley G. Calder, Andrew James Edwards, Shuitao Fan, Chun Yuan, Jaidev Haridas, Matthew Douglas Hendel, Aung Maw Oo, Phillip Taron

Patent number: 8707305Abstract: For failure management for multiple operating systems in a virtual environment, an external virtual machine or agent is provided that has been granted rights to full physical memory space to perform a crashdump for the machine. To avoid exposing secret information during a crashdump, private information for a virtual machine or partition is encrypted prior to generating a dump. The storing of crashdump information for virtual machines may avoid storing crashdump information for virtual machines that are stateless. Instead of having an (unstable) operating system running within a virtual machine perform a crashdump, the provision of an external agent, e.g., an external virtual machine, to perform the crashdump avoids many limitations associated with a normal dump when performed by a crashed operating system.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2013Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Matthew Douglas Hendel
