  • Patent number: 8028134
    Abstract: A memory module (e.g. a hard drive, an optical drive, a flash drive, etc.) associated with a computer system may be imaged without substantial interruption to the operation of the overall system. The imaging may include applying an image to the memory module while execution of one or more operations and/or algorithms that require at least intermittent access to information stored initially in the memory module is ongoing. This may enable a system associated with the memory module to continue with normal, or substantially normal, operation while the image is being applied to the memory module. The image applied to the memory module may, for example, update the system, restore the system to a previous state (e.g., to its state at a previous point in time), or otherwise modify the system with which it is associated.

This may enable a system associated with the memory module to continue with normal, or substantially normal, operation while the image is being applied to the memory module. In other words, the application of the image to the memory module may take place with out substantial stoppages and/or delays to the operation of the system such as a system reboot, an application and/or operating system restart, a log-off, a shut down, and/or other stoppages or delays of operation. The image applied to the memory module may, for example, update the system, restore the system to a previous state (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20060277291
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring networked devices using RSS. Status information from the one or more networked devices may be collected by an RSS aggregator. The status information may be assembled into one or more RSS feeds, enabling a user such as an administrator to monitor the status of the network from any network accessible location.
