Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving input from a first collaborator user device to modify a cell in a collaborative spreadsheet being shared with other collaborators and viewable on other collaborator user devices, sending modifications via a real time channel to the other user devices for display of mirror modifications to the cell prior to commitment of the modifications, and providing an identifier of the first collaborative user device for display of a notice that the first user device is associated with the mirror modifications.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes accessing a spreadsheet for display on a display screen during a remote meeting, receiving a first selection to execute a spotlight function, receiving a second selection of a portion of the spreadsheet being displayed, creating an overlay via the spotlight function, the overlay having a transparent cavity corresponding to the selected portion of the spreadsheet, and applying the overlay to the spreadsheet being displayed such that the selected portion is visible and other portions of the spreadsheet are obscured.

Abstract: A technique for automatically discovering a new server connected within an automated data center. In one example embodiment, this is performed by connecting and powering a new server to one or more data center resources of the automated data center. The new server is then booted-up by loading a temporary OS image from a manager server. Server-specific attributes for the new server are then obtained using the loaded initial temporary OS image by the management server. An SNMP trap is then received from each of the one or more data center resources by the management server upon powering the new server. Each of the received SNMP traps includes physical connection information associated with a connection between the new server and one of the one or more data center resources. An inventory database is then updated by storing the received physical connection information associated with SNMP trap and the obtained server-specific attributes.
