  • Patent number: 10255952
    Abstract: A small-volume push-push apparatus for mounting and demounting a hard disk includes a pressing member, a bracket, and an elastic rod. The bracket defines first to fourth sliding slots, and the elastic rod includes a sliding portion. The pressing member can drive the sliding portion to slide along the first to fourth sliding slots in sequence. When the sliding portion slides to an ending point of the first sliding slot and intersects with the second sliding slot, the bracket can move at a first direction. When the sliding portion slides to a starting point of the first sliding slot away from the fourth sliding slot, the bracket can move in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20190014178
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method is described to manage cloud bursting from a private cloud to a public cloud. The method starts with executing one or more software components of at least one application receiving transaction requests on at least one processing node accessing at least one database server. The one processing node is managed by at least one controller in a first deployment model of a computing infrastructure. The controller, the processing nodes and the database servers each include instrumentation for tracking of performance metrics thereof. A map is created of transaction requests received by the controller to data resources in the database by analyzing the set of common structures. The map is used to identify which of the software components and corresponding data resources in the database to move a processing node in a second deployment model of a computing infrastructure.
