  • Storage managment in a multi-tiered storage architecture
    Patent number: 9319464
    Abstract: Resource management processes are implemented by a computer processor and logic executable by the computer processor. The logic is configured to calculate a performance weight for each end user of an application executing on the computer processor. The performance weight is calculated as a function of an activity level determined for each end user and a type of the application. The logic is also configured to calculate an input/output weight for each end user from a combination of an input/output requirement and the performance weight. The input/output requirement is indicative of an amount of storage resources of a multi-tiered storage system associated with anticipated activities of the end user. The logic is further configured to assign an amount of the storage resources for each end user based on the input/output weight.

  • Enhanced security and resource utilization in a multi-operating system environment
    Patent number: 9311484
    Abstract: An approach is provided for operating a mobile device having first and second operating systems (OSs) installed. While the mobile device is executing the first OS but not the second OS, (1) based in part on battery power remaining in the mobile device being less than a threshold and a lower power consumption of the mobile device if executing the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed in the mobile device; and/or (2) based in part on (a) the mobile device being currently located in the first geographic region which has a greater likelihood of attack on the mobile device, and (b) the mobile device being more secure while operating the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed in the mobile device.

  • File system level data protection during potential security breach
    Patent number: 9306956
    Abstract: Immediately upon identifying a potential breach to a file system, a read-only snapshot of one or more file sets of data stored on a storage volume of the file system is created, and one or more file system protection commands are invoked that restrict access to the snapshot of the file set. Generating the snapshot and restricting access to the snapshot data may include immediately opening an administrative shell for the file-system in response to identifying a potential breach, and executing administrative shell commands that invoke creation of snapshot and limit access of the snapshot data to an administrator or super user.

  • Database index profile based weights for cost computation
    Patent number: 9292572
    Abstract: Database tables can have different types of database indices defined for the database tables and different numbers of database indices. The efficiency of reading the indexes can vary with the different profiles of the indexes, which impacts the costs of access plans that use the indexes. Weights can be predefined to reflect the relative efficiencies of the different characteristics. Costs can be computed in accordance with a variety techniques (e.g., based on edge traversals). The weights can be predefined to reduce costs, increase costs, or a combination thereof. A database management application or associated application or program can also refine or revise these weights based on statistical data gathered about the operation of the database and/or heuristics that are developed based on observations/research. The corresponding weights can be adjusted accordingly.
