Abstract: Described is an architecture for providing access to administrative functionality in a virtualization system using implied authentication. This approach avoids the problems associated with the requirements to use a user ID and password to access an admin console. The user ID and password can be rendered completely unnecessary, or where the user ID and password combination is only used as a supplement to the implied authentication.

Abstract: A method for leveraging hypervisor functionality for maintaining application consistent snapshots in a virtualization environment deployed by the hypervisor includes utilizing the hypervisor to generate a hypervisor-specific application consistent snapshot of a virtual machine running in the virtualization environment, taking a storage controller specific application consistent snapshot of the hypervisor-specific application consistent snapshot of the virtual machine, and logically deleting the hypervisor-specific application consistent snapshot.

Abstract: A method for performing lockless lookups during a rolling upgrade of a column family from an old column family version to a new column family version in a NoSQL database.

Abstract: Described is an approach for implementing stretching datastores/clusters in a virtualization environment. In this approach, data replication can be performed across multiple namespace protocols. In addition, control can be made of the granularity of the data replication such that different combinations of data subsets are replicated from one cluster to another.

Abstract: A data driven, no-refresh, high-interactivity user interface framework, which can be used in (or with) web browsers to provide user interface for accessing product and service configuration through network connection. For example, the user interface can be used with web-based customer order management or product configurator. In one embodiment, the user interface presented as a web document is updated using Document Object Model (DOM) to avoid refreshing. Updates to the user interface are driven by the data managed by the user interface. An event queue for user actions to be dispatched to the server is provided to improve usability of the user interface. A user interface level application program interface is provided for external applications/modules to improve configurability.

Abstract: Techniques to support various operations (e.g., drag-and-drop, stretch) and data manipulation in a browser environment, e.g., to allow data for an object located in one part of a document (e.g., a webpage) to be associated with another object located in another part of the document. In one design, a document includes at least one applet for at least one display window. Each applet includes at least one browser object representative of an entity for an end application. Each browser object is associated with a respective set of one or more scripts used to facilitate a set of one or more operations (e.g., drag-and-drop, stretch) permitted for the browser object. A data transfer object is generated upon initiation of a selected operation and includes data associated with a source (browser) object. The data transfer object may thereafter be operated on by various target (browser) object to effectuate the selected operation.
