The mobile terminal includes a wireless communication unit, an input unit, and a controller for acquiring a user input for generating content through the input unit, changing the format of the generated content into formats respectively corresponding to a plurality of servers to which the generated content will be transmitted upon acquisition of a signal for selecting the plurality of servers, and transmitting the content in the changed formats to the plurality of servers through the wireless communication unit. Accordingly, a user can generate content without considering characteristics of the plurality of servers, improving user convenience. | 2013-08-29 |
20130227088 | System for the Delivery and Dynamic Presentation of Large Media Assets over Bandwidth Constrained Networks - Media content, based on a predetermined set of constraints, from a content provider is delivered to a local cache of a user device before viewing the media. A client asset manager process resides in the user device, an asset list at the content provider site, and the media assets are located at a remote site. | 2013-08-29 |
20130227089 | BUILDING VIRTUAL MACHINE DISK IMAGES FOR DIFFERENT CLOUD CONFIGURATIONS FROM A SINGLE GENERIC VIRTUAL MACHINE DISK IMAGE - A computer system receives a request to instantiate a virtual machine (VM) in a first target cloud and a second target cloud. The target clouds operate with different configuration parameters. The system modifies a generic VM disk image that is not formatted for the first or second target cloud to create a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the first target cloud and a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the second target cloud. The first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the first target cloud configuration parameters, and the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the second target cloud configuration parameters. The system instantiates a VM in the first target cloud using the first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image and a VM in the second target cloud using the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image. | 2013-08-29 |
20130227090 | REMOTE ENTERPRISE POLICY/CLIENT CONFIGURATION INSTALLATION FOR COMPUTING DEVICES - Systems and methods for remote an enterprise policy/client configuration installation for client computing devices are provided. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, on a client computing device, via a network, a message including an updated enterprise policy/client configuration associated with an operating system and a signature. The signature identifies a source of the message. The method also includes authenticating the message based on the signature. The method also includes installing the updated an enterprise policy/client configuration. At least a first portion of an enterprise policy/client configuration is configured not to be updatable without receiving the message via the network. | 2013-08-29 |
20130227091 | PROVISIONING AND MANAGING A CLUSTER DEPLOYED ON A CLOUD - A system is provided to provision and manage cloud-based clustered application deployment. In one example embodiment, a clustered computing application is detected as being launched on a cluster of nodes. Each node in the cluster is a virtual instance of a machine within a virtualization service. Status of the nodes in the cluster are monitored to detect availability of a server within the virtualization service A notification message addressed to the server is issued in response to detecting the availability of the server. The notification message includes information for connecting to the cluster. | 2013-08-29 |
20130227092 | METHODS OF STRUCTURING DATA, PRE-COMPILED EXCEPTION LIST ENGINES AND NETWORK APPLIANCES - A computer executed method is disclosed for sorting a plurality of internet protocol (IP) addresses. The method includes dividing the range of IP addresses into a plurality of clusters representing a plurality of contiguous sub-ranges, assigning each IP address to the cluster associated with the sub-range that includes that IP address, and assigning the IP addresses in each cluster to one of a plurality of pages. If one of the pages has a size less than a page size limit, the method includes duplicating on that page at least one of the IP addresses assigned to that page. For each page, the IP addresses assigned to that page are ordered by numeric value. A network appliance incorporating aspects of the method is also disclosed. | 2013-08-29 |
20130227093 | Unified System Area Network And Switch - A network switch, based on the PCI Express protocol, is disclosed. The switch includes a processor, local memory and a plurality of non-transparent bridges. By configuring the non-transparent bridges appropriately, the network switch can facilitate a number of different communication mechanisms, including TCP/IP communication between servers, server clusters, and virtualized I/O device utilization. For example, the network switch may configure the non-transparent bridges so as to have access to the physical memory of every server attached to it. It can then move data from the memory of any server to the memory of any other server. In another embodiment, the network switch is connected to an I/O device, and multiple servers are given access to that I/O device via virtualized connections. | 2013-08-29 |
20130227094 | VIRTUAL NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT - A Hardware Management Console (HMC) configures virtual networks. The HMC extends Internal Queued Direct I/O to an intra-ensemble data network (IEDN) within a cluster of virtual servers to define a single channel path identifier, and to define a channel parameter. The HMC defines at least one virtual network. The HMC defines a bridge port within each CPC that supports at least one of the virtual servers. The HMC defines a network interface for each virtual server within each cluster. The HMC grants access to a corresponding virtual network for each virtual server. | 2013-08-29 |
