Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for managing communication connections in a virtualization environment includes a plurality of host machines implementing a virtualization environment, wherein each of the host machines includes a hypervisor, at least one user virtual machine (user VM), and a distributed file server that includes file server virtual machines (FSVMs) and associated local storage devices. Each FSVM and associated local storage device are local to a corresponding one of the host machines, and the FSVMs conduct I/O transactions with their associated local storage devices based on I/O requests received from the user VMs. Each of the user VMs on each host machine sends each of its representative I/O requests to an FSVM that is selected by one or more of the FSVMs for each I/O request based on a lookup table that maps a storage item referenced by the I/O request to the selected one of the FSVMs.

Abstract: A system and method for recommending intelligent railway network access plans and modified access plans based on current status of execution of tasks and train timetables. Herein, the system and method need to consider multiple variables including train timetable changes, activity efficiencies etc. to derive an overall optimum access management solution for the railway network. They can interface with existing operational timetables and cost management systems by using existing data sets for operations and cost data. The cost data is manipulated to identify fixed and variable costs and variability of variable costs with access duration and activity bundling. A trade-off between cost and value is considered which results in a longer continuous time window being available for maintenance, less visits to same location to complete a maintenance task, less time spent in setup/unwind activities and higher labour utilization.

Abstract: A virtualized file server (VFS) may include a plurality of file server virtual machines (FSVMs) that cooperatively manage a distributed file share of storage items. A data protocol server implemented by a first FSVM is configured to provide communication between a user device and the VFS responsive to a request from the user device to connect to the VFS. A common layer implemented by the first FSVM includes information management metadata for authorized users of the VFS. A web proxy at the first FSVM presents a user access list of storage items to the user device, where the user access list is based on user information received with the request from the user device to connect to the VFS.

Abstract: Examples described herein include virtualized file servers which may include load balancing. For example, a recommendation engine may estimate a load associated with each of a plurality of file server virtual machines in a cluster. Based on the load, the recommendation engine may recommend changing ownership of one or more volume groups, scaling up the virtualized file server, scaling down the virtualized file server, scaling in the virtualized file server, scaling out the virtualized file server, or combinations thereof.
