Patent number: 7627650Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include methods for providing resources over a data network. The methods may be embodied as processes operating on a computer server, wherein that server comprises a plurality of server platforms, each of which are truly equivalent in that each provides a functionally equivalent interface to a client. In one practice of the invention, a method responds to client requests by detecting a request from a client for access to a resource and by establishing a connection for communicating with the client. The method then identifies a server available for servicing the detected request, and determines whether state information is associated with the connection. The method then, grants the identified server with access to the state information and allows the identified server to create and transmit a response to the client, also allowing the identified server to update the state information.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2003Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: EqualLogic, Inc.Inventors: G.

Patent number: 7010597Abstract: Multicast addresses on a computer network are dynamically assigned to a temporary node task. In particular, a server dynamically assigns a multicast address to a data stream in response to a request for the data stream from a client. The server assigns the multicast address in cooperation with other servers from a pool of network-allocated but unassigned multicast addresses. Once the data stream is terminated, the assigned multicast address is deassigned and returned to the pool of unassigned multicast addresses for possible reuse by the nodes.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2002Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP.Inventor: Peter C.

Publication number: 20040210724Abstract: Systems for managing responses to requests from a plurality of clients for access to a set of resources and for providing a storage area network (SAN) that more efficiently responds to client load changes by migrating data blocks while providing continuous data access. In one embodiment, the systems comprise a plurality of equivalent servers wherein the set of resources is partitioned across this plurality of servers. Each equivalent server has a load monitor process that is capable of communicating with the other load monitor processes for generating a measure of the client load on the server system and the client load on each of the respective servers. The system further comprises a resource distribution process that is responsive to the measured system load and is capable of repartitioning the set of resources to thereby redistribute the client load.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2004Publication date: October 21, 2004Applicant: EQUALLOGIC INC.Inventors: G.
