20090030868 | Method And System For Optimal File System Performance - An automated system for determining an optimal file system on which to store data files is provided. The system includes a data storage device having multiple virtual partitions operable to receive, store, and retrieve a data file. The system additionally includes a plurality of file systems associated with the virtual partitions. One or more of the different file systems have different data storage performance characteristics. A sub-system tracks file characteristics and user requirements for the data file and uses the file characteristics and the user requirements to automatically determine an optimal file system for the data file. The systems and methods provided may be implemented with an information handling system. | 01-29-2009 |
20090158022 | SNOOP FILTER OPTIMIZATION - A snoop filter optimization system includes one or more subsystems to operate a snoop filter, determine information that that affects operation of the snoop filter, and adjust operation of the snoop filter relative to the information that affects operation of the snoop filter. | 06-18-2009 |
20090158072 | System and Method to Identify Power Savings - A device includes an estimation module, a ratio module, and a recommendation module. The estimation module is adapted to receive a first performance level and a first power consumption level associated with a current server, and adapted to estimate a second performance level and a second power consumption level associated with a first target server based on the first performance level and the first power consumption level. The ratio module is adapted to determine a first performance ratio between the first performance level and the second performance level, and adapted to determine a first power consumption ratio between the first power consumption level and the second power consumption level. The recommendation module is adapted to determine whether to suggest a migration from the current server to the first target server based on the first performance ratio and the first power consumption ratio and adapted to output a first migration determination. | 06-18-2009 |
20090217067 | Systems and Methods for Reducing Power Consumption in a Redundant Storage Array - A method for reducing power consumption in a mirrored disk array including first disk resources mirrored with second disk resources is provided. A write request to write particular data to the mirrored disk array is received. In response to receiving the write request, the first disk resources are spun to write the particular data to the first disk resources, and the particular data is stored to a cache memory without spinning the second disk resources. Subsequent to storing the particular data to the first disk resources and storing the particular data to the cache memory, the second disk resources are spun to write the particular data from the cache memory to the second disk resources. | 08-27-2009 |
20100107159 | Virtual Machine Scheduling Methods and Systems - A method for managing virtual machines in an information handling system (IHS) is disclosed. The method may include receiving a characteristic of a first virtual machine from a connection broker and hosting the first virtual machine on a virtualization server. The method may further include determining availability of more than one virtual machine and if more than one virtual machine is available, hosting a second virtual machine having the characteristic of the first virtual machine. | 04-29-2010 |
20100198906 | Desktop Environment Solutions Methods and Systems - A method for providing a desktop environment solution is provided. The method may include providing a client information handling system and authenticating the client to a network. Furthermore, a hardware configuration of the client may be dynamically examined, and an appropriate desktop environment solution may be selected based on the hardware configuration. | 08-05-2010 |
20100275200 | Interface for Virtual Machine Administration in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure - A system includes a plurality of virtualization servers and a virtual desktop interface. The plurality of virtualization servers are configured to be placed in communication with a client. The virtual desktop interface is in communication with the plurality of virtualization servers and with the client. The virtual desktop interface is configured to receive a request for maintenance from the client, and further configured to perform the request for the maintenance on one of the virtualization servers associated with the client. | 10-28-2010 |
20100325261 | System and Method to Manage Information Handling System Resources in Virtual Machine Infrastructure - A method can include monitoring a proportion of a particular type of information handling system resource used by a particular virtual machine of a plurality of virtual machines. The particular virtual machine can be accessible to a thin client information handling system via a communications broker. The method can include sending first data to the communications broker, the first data indicating the proportion of the particular type of information handling system resource used by the particular virtual machine, and receiving second data from the communications broker. The second data can indicate that a greater or lesser amount of the particular type of information handling system resource is to be allocated to the particular virtual machine. The method can include automatically allocating the greater or lesser amount of the particular type of information handling system resource to the particular virtual machine in response to the second data. | 12-23-2010 |
20140281448 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO REDUCE SERVICE DISRUPTION IN A SHARED INFRASTRUCTURE NODE ENVIRONMENT - A method of reducing downtime in a node environment is disclosed. The method includes identifying an originating system board of a plurality of system boards that requires service where the originating system board includes a node operating on a processor. The method further includes identifying a target system board of the plurality of system boards where the target system board includes a target processor. The method further includes transferring operation of the node to the target processor before the originating system board is serviced, and operating the node on the target processor. | 09-18-2014 |
