  • Publication number: 20170201581
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided in one general embodiment for concurrent file and object protocol access. The method includes receiving a notification that indicates storage of an object by an object-based client, and creating a clone of the object. Also, the method includes providing a file-based client access to the clone of the object. Further, the method includes, after the file-based client has finished modifying the clone of the object, replacing the object with an updated object based on the modified clone of the object. The file-based client is provided access to the modified clone of the updated object. After the file-based client has finished modifying the modified clone of the updated object, the updated object is replaced with an additional object based on the modification to the modified clone of the updated object.

  • Publication number: 20170061006
    Abstract: A computed-implemented method is provided for generating object storage datasets from file datasets. The computed-implemented method includes analyzing entries of a file system to identify a file and checking the file against at least one policy. In response to identifying a match between the file and the at least one policy, details of a container are updated. A symbolic link to the file is created to allow access of the file by an object-based client. Updating the details of the container includes updating a database such that the database identifies at least one of the created symbolic link and the details of the container.

  • Patent number: 9578122
    Abstract: An e-mail comprising general content is communicated from a sender to a plurality of recipients. The general content is identical for all recipients of the plurality of recipients. A definition of the plurality of recipients for the e-mail is received. The general content of the e-mail is received. A tag is inserted into the e-mail. The tag is indicative of personalized information designated for a recipient of the plurality of recipients. The e-mail is sent to the plurality of recipients. The general content is adapted with dynamically-generated content. The adaptation is based on the tag and based on the personalized information.

  • Patent number: 9413826
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for concurrent file and object protocol access. The method includes receiving a notification that indicates storage of an object by an object-based client, and creating a clone of the object. Also, the method includes providing a file-based client access to the clone of the object. Further, the method includes returning, in response to one or more read requests for the object received from one or more object-based clients while the file-based client modifies the clone of the object, the object to the one or more object-based clients. Moreover, the method includes, after the file-based client has finished modifying the clone of the object, replacing the object with an updated object based on the modified clone of the object.

  • Patent number: 8930807
    Abstract: A server receives a hypertext request from a client. The server looks up a hypertext document, wherein looking up comprises obtaining a first HTML element and a second HTML element and combining the first HTML element and second HTML element into a hypertext document, in response receiving the hypertext request from the client. The server parses the hypertext document for timeliness tags. The server generates at least one header tag based on the timeliness tags. The server determines whether at least one expired tag is among the timeliness tags. Responsive to a determination that at least one expired tag is among the timeliness tags, the server can look up a timeliness tag rule corresponding to the at least one timeliness tag.
