Latest Patents
Kartik Subbanna holds a patent for a "High-availability cluster virtual server system." This invention encompasses systems and methods, including computer program products, that provide high availability in server systems. In one implementation, the server system consists of a cluster of two or more autonomous server nodes, each running one or more virtual servers. When a node fails, its virtual servers are migrated to one or more other nodes. Connectivity between nodes and clients is based on virtual IP addresses, where each virtual server has one or more virtual IP addresses. Virtual servers can be assigned failover priorities, allowing higher priority virtual servers to be migrated before lower priority ones during a failover. Load balancing is achieved by distributing virtual servers from a failed node to multiple different nodes. Additionally, when a port within a node fails, the node can reassign virtual IP addresses from the failed port to other ports on the node until no good ports remain, and only then migrate virtual servers to another node or nodes. This patent showcases his innovative approach to improving server reliability and efficiency.
