Abstract: Systems and methods for deploying software updates in heterogeneous workspace environments are described. The system for managing workspaces includes computer-executable instructions for obtaining multiple inventories corresponding to multiple workspaces of an IHS, wherein the inventories each include information associated with the applications deployed in its respective workspace. The instructions are further executed to, for each inventory, identify the workspace associated with the inventory, determine which of the applications are to be updated with new software, and deploy the determined new software to the identified workspace.

Abstract: Access to peripherals can be managed in a containerized environment. A management service can be employed on a computing device to detect when a container is created. When a container is created or a peripheral is connected, the management service can determine that an application running within the container should be allowed to access a peripheral. The management service can then interface with a peripheral mapper running within the container to enable the application to access the peripheral. A peripheral access manager can also be employed to isolate the peripheral to the container.

Abstract: Services can be managed across containers. A management service can obtain or compile configuration information for containerized applications and containerized services that are hosted on a computing device. The configuration information can define how a containerized application is dependent on a containerized service. Using the configuration information, the management service can establish data paths between containers to enable container services running in the containers to perform cross-container communications by which a containerized application in one container can access a containerized service in another container. The management service may also enable a container service to perform communications by which a containerized application can access services provided by the host operating system.

Abstract: An information handling system may concurrently execute a first container and a second container. The information handling system may access one or more first firmware settings stored in a first portion of a memory of the information handling system. The one or more first firmware settings may be first firmware settings for one or more resources allocated to the first container. One or more first firmware parameters for the first container may be adjusted based, at least in part, on the one or more first firmware settings. The information handling system may cress one or more second firmware settings stored in a second portion of the memory of the information handling system, different from the first portion of the memory. The one or more second firmware settings may be for one or more resources allocated to the second container. One or more second firmware parameters for the second container may be adjusted based, at least in part, on the one or more second firmware settings.

Abstract: A method for the session management of content driven meeting summaries and action items in a commercial environment, which may be tied to multiple back-end cloud services. The method employs an association based data structure directed to improving the organization and persistence of post-meeting generated content or collateral (e.g., meeting summaries, notes, action items, etc.). Further, a method for learned meeting context continuity for past context and future meeting proposals tied to current meeting context. The method may match key topics, conversations, and attendees to deduce relation; and, accordingly, provide suitable next meeting predictions. Moreover, a method for intelligently managing segment audio-visual (AV) replay access, which may be indexed using users, topics, presenters, keywords, etc.

Abstract: An audio processing system includes a microphone array, a speech detection system, and a neural network noise reduction module. The microphone array includes at least two microphones and provides an audio signal from an environment surrounding the microphone array. The speech detection system receives the audio signal, and processes the audio signal to a) detect that a first user is speaking, b) determine a first direction relative to the audio array when the first user is located at a first location within the environment, and c) provide beamforming processing on the audio signal in the first direction, and to provide a processed audio signal based upon the beamforming processing. The neural network noise reduction module reduces noise in the processed audio signal.

Abstract: Device group configurations can be managed across workspaces based on context. A service can be employed on each client computing device that a user may use in his or her workspaces. The service can be configured to determine when a profile applies to a workspace and can automatically apply a device group configuration to the workspace. The service can also monitor for context changes while a device group configuration is applied and can adjust the device group configuration based on the context changes.

Abstract: Dependent containers can be managed based on context. When an application is deployed in a container and relies on a service or other resource external to the container, context about the container, the application and any data paths the container may require can be monitored and used to calculate a container instance weight, an application weight and a data path weight. Such weights can then be used to calculate a per container weight which in turn can be used to determine if any changes in container type or location may be more optimal for an application. Such weights can also be used to calculate a per solution weight which in turn can be used to determine if any changes in container type or location may be more optimal for a solution.
