Publication number: 20070192494Abstract: An intermediate device which can be introduced and removed in seamless way is disclosed. The state information acquiring means acquires state information required to maintain the state of a session established between the first information processing device and the second information processing device for the information processing service, from the first information processing device or the second information processing device. The intermediate service managing means generates, based on the state information, transfer rules for applying the intermediate service to data of the information processing service, and transferring the data to which the intermediate service is applied. The transfer control means maintains the state of the existing session between itself and the second information processing device, establishes a new session between itself and the first information processing device, and transfers the data using the existing session and the new session, according to the transfer rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2004Publication date: August 16, 2007Inventors: Satoshi Yamakawa, Takashi Torii, Wataru Katsurashima

Publication number: 20060149748Abstract: Each of the sites interconnected to one another through a wide area network includes at least one client, a switch device logically disposed between the client and at least one server including a storage device, for providing to the client a file access virtually unifying of a plurality of storage devices, and an analysis device connected to the switch device. The switch device takes log information on the file access from the client. The analysis device determines data to be migrated to the server in a site to which the client belongs or the server in a site in vicinity of the site to which the client belongs, and commands the switch device to migrate the data. The switch device migrates the data based on the command from the analysis device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2005Publication date: July 6, 2006Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Satoshi Yamakawa, Takashi Torii, Yoshihiro Kajiki

Publication number: 20060129537Abstract: Disclosed is a storage management system including at least one client, a first server having a primary storage, a second server having a secondary storage, and an intermediate device logically arranged between the client and the first and second servers. The primary storage includes a stub file in which there is recorded the position information of the real file migrated from the primary storage to the secondary storage. The intermediate device exercises control so that, when a file access request of the primary storage of a first server, issued by the client, is received by the intermediate device, the intermediate device receives the file access request and, if the file to be accessed is a stub file, and the access request necessitates accessing to the real file, the intermediate device accesses the real file of the secondary storage using the information of the stub file to return a response.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2005Publication date: June 15, 2006Applicant: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Takashi Torii, Satoshi Yamakawa, Yoshihiro Kajiki

Publication number: 20060080370Abstract: Disclosed is a system which includes at least one client, a plural number of file servers, each having a file system, and a switch logically arranged between the client and the plural file servers to provide file access services which virtually render the plural file services accessible as a single file system, termed a ‘pseudo file system’, when viewed from the terminal. The switch distributes a command for start of generation of snapshots to the plural file servers, which file servers formulate respective snapshots responsive to the command for start of formation of the snapshots. The switch sets the plural snapshots, generated by the plural file servers, so as to be associated with the file system structure of the virtual file system at the time of formation of the snapshots.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2005Publication date: April 13, 2006Inventors: Takashi Torii, Satoshi Yamakawa, Yoshihiro Kajiki

Publication number: 20060069665Abstract: Disclosed is a file access service system including at least one client, a plurality of file servers each having a function for limiting amount of use of a respective storage resource, and a switch apparatus inserted between the client and the plurality of file servers. The switch apparatus, based upon a set value of amount of use of a storage resource that has been set in the switch apparatus, sets a set value that limits amount of use of each storage resource in a respective one of the file servers. The switch apparatus surveys amount of use of each storage resource periodically in each of the file servers and, based upon the result of the survey controls the set value of the amount of use of each storage resource in each of the file servers.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2005Publication date: March 30, 2006Inventors: Satoshi Yamakawa, Takashi Torii, Yoshihiro Kajiki

Publication number: 20030097454Abstract: A switch device has an object ID rewrite unit and a file access control unit. The object ID rewrite unit, when an original object ID is contained in a reply to be transferred, rewrites the original object ID to an information entraining object ID by inserting server identification information into the original object ID, while when the information entraining object ID is contained in a reply to be transferred, restores the information entraining object ID to the original object ID. The file access control unit includes a table for managing a combination of address information of a server and server identification information, estimating address information of a server corresponding to sever identification information contained in an information entraining object of a request to be transferred with reference to the table, and determines a destination of the request on the basis of the address information.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2002Publication date: May 22, 2003Applicant: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Satoshi Yamakawa, Jun Ishikawa, Takashi Torii
