  • Patent number: 12209596
    Abstract: Various devices, systems, and methods are described herein that provide bi-directional, and even multi-directional airflow within fan systems. These fan systems can be utilized by devices such as datacenter switches to change from one direction of airflow (such as port side inlet) to another direction (such as port side exhaust). This can be done manually by having a multi-directional fan housed within an enclosure that provides access through a hatch door. The multi-directional fan can be removed and reoriented to a second direction, thus providing airflow with the same quality and pressure in multiple directions. Fan changes can also be automated through one or more interlocking rotational gears coupled to the fans within a housing, such that rotating one gear will rotate each of the fans within the housing, thus changing the direction of the airflow. By doing this, only one fan is needed to provide airflow in multiple directions.

  • Patent number: 12212486
    Abstract: Embodiments of multi-host link aggregation are described for active-active cluster implementations. In one or more embodiments, a multi-host LAG bond in the cluster is created with a bond MAC address designated for the bond. Afterwards, a virtual IP address may be created for all hosts within the multi-host LAG bond. Compared with existing active-active cluster implementation, the presented multi-host link aggregation embodiments do not require extra entities, e.g., load balancer or DNS, which could be a failure point or performance bottleneck, thus makes the active-active cluster implementations more efficient and robust. With the Multi-Host LACP bond and virtual IP on all hosts, the cluster may have increased bandwidth to the cluster service and utilize computing capacity in a network switch for improved workload distribution.
