Abstract: A system and method implementing revocable secure remote keys is disclosed. A plurality of indexed base secrets is stored in a register of a coprocessor of a local node coupled with a local memory. When it is determined that a selected base secret expired, the base secret stored in the register based on the base secret index is changed, thereby invalidating remote keys generated based on the expired base secret. A remote key with validation data and a base secret index is received from a node requesting access to the local memory. A validation base secret is obtained from the register based on the base secret index. The coprocessor performs hardware validation on the validation data based on the validation base secret. Hardware validation fails if the base secret associated with the base secret index has been changed in the register of the selected coprocessor.

Abstract: A network storage controller uses a non-volatile solid-state memory (NVSSM) subsystem as a global cache that is shared between a number of network storage servers in a network storage system. Portions of global cache are allocated to each of the network storage servers. Allocation of portions of the global cache is controlled based on a usage pattern of the global cache by each of the network storage servers. The storage operating system determines, for example, a percentage of cache hit and/or a response time for responding to the requests from the clients by a particular network storage server with a particular allocated portion. The percentage of cache hit and response time are projected for various potential sizes of the particular portion. A size of the particular portion that provides a better percentage of cache hit and/or response time is selected, and reallocated to the particular network storage server.

Abstract: A stored document is converted into a “web-friendly” format by dividing the conversion job into chunks. Each chunk specifies a subset of the document pages to be converted. The result of processing a chunk is a set of “web-friendly” page images. The page images are stored in a repository and are available for viewing at the client. The remaining chunks are processed in a similar manner. The perceived performance of the system is enhanced because a chunk can be processed much faster than the entire document. If the user happens to advance to a page in the document that is not yet processed, a real-time request is made to process a particular subset of pages that includes the page advanced to.
