  • Publication number: 20140244741
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for context-based APP searching and APP use insights are disclosed. User data is received from a plurality of mobile devices, each associated with at least one user. The user data includes context discriminators for each user and sensor data regarding the usage of applications on the users' mobile device. The data is stored and analyzed by an engine that identifies a list of names of applications used by each user on the user's mobile device. The engine provides to at least one user insights into applications used by other users by identifying the other users in a similar context to the at least one user based on their discriminators, and providing to the at least one user the names of one or more of the applications on the lists of applications used by the other users in the similar context.

  • Patent number: 8060542
    Abstract: A server instance, which is a collection of LUNs, containing an operating system, any applications and data storage. A processing element is the physical hardware. The combination is a server as normally understood. Templates are used to define server instances and server types to simplify deploying a server instance to a processing element. A graphical user interface provides the templates where the particular storage groups are identified and then server instances are created from lists of operating systems, applications, and available storage. The management service processor is a PXE server and provides the necessary software to identify the components of the processing element and correlate between the processing element and a server instance. The management service processor then automatically provides software to the processing element to allow it correctly boot. The management service processor manages the interconnection of the processing element and the relevant LUNs.
