Patent number: 11710281Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer implemented method for rendering virtual environments is disclosed. The method includes associating by a computing system, an object with a container effect, by receiving information regarding an object category for the object and matching the object category to a category associated with the container effect, where the container effect defines virtual effects for objects associated therewith. The method also includes generating by the computing system a virtual environment including the object by retrieving a model of the object an utilizing the model and the container effect to render a virtual object.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Srilatha P. Raghavan, Nikhil Vijay Chandhok

Patent number: 8930315Abstract: A virtual machine may be discovered through a directory service or via an agent that is installed on the host operating system that is running the virtual machine. If the agent is installed on the virtual machine, the agent monitors changes to a set of protected volumes on the virtual machine. If the agent is installed on the host, the agent monitors changes to the protected volumes, which may contain one or more virtual servers on the host. Periodically, these changes from the host or the virtual server are sent to a data protection server. The data protection server updates its replicas of protected volumes with the sent changes. Versions of files on a data protection server corresponding to a volume of a virtual server may be restored to the virtual machine, to another machine, or may be viewed from the data protection server.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Nikhil Vijay Chandhok, Michael L. Michael, Robert M. Fries

Patent number: 7567974Abstract: A method for protecting protectable objects located at a production location is provided. A Namespace, representative of a plurality of protectable objects, is provided to a user for selection. A selection of at least a portion of the Namespace is received and that selected portion is mapped to at least one protectable object. A plan for protecting the mapped protectable object is created, and using that plan the protectable object is protected.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2004Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian M Wahlert, Mike Jazayeri, Catharine van Ingen, Brian T Berkowitz, Nikhil Vijay Chandhok, Dharshan Rangegowda, Seetharaman Harikrishnan, Vinay Badami, Yezdi Z Lashkari, Robert M Fries

Patent number: 7483926Abstract: A method and system for backing up and restoring data of production servers. A mapping that maps volumes of production servers to volumes of a data protection server is maintained on the data protection server. When volumes of the data protection server are backed up, the mapping may be stored on the archive media together with the data of the volumes. Later, during a restore, the mapping is read from the archive media. The mapping allows the data to be restored to the data protection server or directly to the production servers.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2005Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Nikhil Vijay Chandhok, Michael L.
