Patent number: 10116525Abstract: One or more embodiments provide an extensible user interface for navigating a graph in a tabular format for which the extensible user interface is arranged in a hierarchy of views. The hierarchy includes an entry point level having at least one extension added by an application, wherein data is displayed when the extensible user interface is initially accessed by the user. The hierarchy further includes an inventory level having at least one extension added by the application, wherein data is displayed when the user selects an extension at the inventory level. Another level of the hierarchy is a category extension level having at least one extension added by an application, wherein data is displayed when the user focuses the extensible user interface on a node displayed by an extension added at the inventory level.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Thomas C. Cannon, Stephanie Dee, Peter J. Shepherd, Robert Lee Thompson

Patent number: 9927958Abstract: A user interface for a virtual machine infrastructure enables a user to navigate a graph in a tabular format. The user interface simultaneously displays data associated with a selected node from a plurality of applications via view extensions provided by the applications. The user interface shows data associated with a node on which a navigation panel is focused, an anchor node, together with related nodes and edge categories including the edges connecting the related nodes to the anchor node. The user can peek at the data associated with a related node by selecting the node in the user interface and change the displayed data without changing the focus of the navigation panel. The user can also change the focus of the navigation panel to a related node via data displayed in a data panel or related nodes identified in the navigation panel.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Thomas C Cannon, III, Stephanie Dee, Peter J. Shepherd

Patent number: 9602358Abstract: Embodiments provide a virtual machine infrastructure including an application model and a user interface for displaying data associated with a plurality of nodes. The user interface is arranged in a hierarchy of views. An application is added to the infrastructure by adding an edge category and a view extension to the infrastructure. The user interface simultaneously displays the added view extension together with a view extension provided by another application.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Thomas C. Cannon, III, Stephanie Dee, Peter J. Shepherd, Robert Lee Thompson

Patent number: 8463905Abstract: A system for drift visualization of change data of a data center is disclosed. The data center includes a plurality of configuration items. The system includes a management server in communication with the data center. The management server includes an agent configured to collect the change data from one or more of the plurality of configuration items. A change datastore in communication with the management server is provided to store the change data. A data extractor in communication with the change datastore retrieves the change data and provides a filtered subset of the change data to a display. A policy datastore enables the data extractor to filter the change data based on data center policy violations. The visualization depicts multiple dimensions of change-related data for the items in the data center in a unique and concise manner.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2012Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventor: Stephanie Dee

Patent number: 8145752Abstract: A system for drift visualization of change data of a datacenter is disclosed. The datacenter includes a plurality of configuration items. The system includes a management server in communication with the data center. The management server includes an agent configured to collect the change data from one or more of the plurality of configuration items. A change data store that is in communication with the management server is provided to store the change data. A data extractor in communication with the change data store is provided to retrieve the change data and providing a filtered subset of the change data to a display. A policy data store in communication with the data extractor is provided to enable the data extractor to filter the change data based on data center policy violations.

Patent number: 7933981Abstract: A process to increase the readability of topology diagrams and to simultaneously show multiple relationships for a large number of elements or nodes in a network. Redundant relationships or connections between nodes are systematically hidden but in such a way that the removed relationships or connections can be inferred from the remaining relationships in the diagram. As a result, diagram elements or nodes are positioned closer to respective related elements and overlapping relationship lines, or connections, in the diagram are greatly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2006Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Thomas C.
