Patent number: 9832088Abstract: Power monitoring in a server set that has a shared power supply system that includes multiple power supply unit sets that each provide power to the server set. A controller monitors power usage of the server set, and evaluates the monitored power usage against the power supply capability of each of the power supply unit sets. Based on the evaluation, the controller can detect when a particular power supply unit set is no longer capable of solely providing all of the power that the server set is consuming or anticipated to consume, and then reduce power accordingly so that the particular power supply unit set could provide such power.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael Myrah, Matthew Jeremiah Eason

Patent number: 9430318Abstract: Automated health monitoring and recovery is provided for infrastructure devices supporting server devices in a data center. Health analysis operations may be selected to be performed on an infrastructure device based on the capabilities of the infrastructure device and/or how the infrastructure device is being used to support server devices in the data center. If the infrastructure device is unhealthy, an automated recovery operation may be performed. The automated recovery operation may include recovery actions selected based on the capabilities of the infrastructure device, the failure mode of the infrastructure device, and/or how the infrastructure device is being used to support server devices in the data center.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2014Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chandan Aggarwal, Asad Yaqoob, Josh David McKone, Matthew Jeremiah Eason, Akil M.

Patent number: 9424123Abstract: A system and method for mitigating memory errors in a computer system. Faulty memory is identified and tested by a memory manager of an operating system. The memory manager may perform diagnostic tests while the operating system is executing on the computer system. Regions of memory that are being used by software components of the computer system may also be tested. The memory manager maintains a stored information about faulty memory regions. Regions are added to the stored information when they are determined to be faulty by a diagnostic test tool. Memory regions are allocated to software components by the memory manager after checking the stored information about faulty memory regions. This ensures a faulty memory region is never allocated to a software component of the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Garrett Leischner, Andrew J. Lagattuta, Matthew Jeremiah Eason, Landy Wang, John R. Douceur, Baskar Sridharan, Edmund B. Nightingale

Publication number: 20140195672Abstract: Embodiments are directed to isolating a cloud computing node using network- or some other type of isolation. In one scenario, a computer system determines that a cloud computing node is no longer responding to monitoring requests. The computer system isolates the determined cloud computing node to ensure that software programs running on the determined cloud computing node are no longer effectual (either the programs no longer produce outputs, or those outputs are not allowed to be transmitted). The computer system also notifies various entities that the determined cloud computing node has been isolated. The node may be isolated by powering the node down, by preventing the node from transmitting and/or receiving data, and by manually isolating the node. In some cases, isolating the node by preventing the node from transmitting and/or receiving data includes deactivating network switch ports used by the determined cloud computing node for data communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Srikanth Raghavan, Abhishek Singh, Chandan Aggarwal, Fatima Ijaz, Asad Yaqoob, Joshua McKone, Ajay Mani, Matthew Jeremiah Eason, Muhammad Mannan Saleem

Patent number: 8286033Abstract: A method of detecting a network hang and restoring an application that communicates on a connection giving rise to the network hang. A user experience may be improved by providing the user with an option to restore the hung application without losing unsaved data or state information. The network hang may be detected when the user tries to terminate the application. The method may include determining whether the network hang is recoverable, which may involve diagnosing a type of the hang. If recoverable, a network connection reset mechanism may be triggered by instructing a network stack of the computer to terminate the network connection.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Paul L.
