Latest Patents

Sanders’s listed patent, “Redundant Data and Power Infrastructure for Modular Server Components in a Rack,” describes a server rack designed to provide resilient network connectivity and power. Each modular chassis can hold multiple servers and two network switches, with redundant point-to-point connections linking the switches to the servers through a data backplane.

The design also uses redundant AC-to-DC power supplies connected to chassis power backplanes through a power bus bar. Both supplies provide power to the servers, and each supply is capable of powering the entire rack. Servers in separate chassis can join the same network by daisy-chaining the rack’s switches, while individual servers can be installed by sliding them into a chassis to engage the backplane connectors.
