Title: Michael George Polan: Innovator in Data Center Management

Introduction

Michael George Polan is a notable inventor based in Markham, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of data center management, holding a total of 15 patents. His work focuses on utilizing web services to enhance the efficiency and functionality of data centers.

Latest Patents

One of Polan's latest patents involves managing data centers using web services. This invention allows access to data center resources through both stateless and stateful web services. For stateless web services, the invention provides an invoker API that enables clients to invoke specific resources and perform operations on them. In the case of stateful web services, a Web Service Definition file is provided, defining the attributes and operations for data center resources. Clients can access instances of web service resources once they obtain an endpoint reference from the server. This persistent resource instance allows clients to invoke data center operations and manipulate resource attributes accordingly.

Another significant patent by Polan focuses on managing test results in a data center. This invention outlines a method where a processor receives a test configuration deployment plan (TCDP) template. Users can select this template and provide a time schedule along with specific software application names and version numbers. The processor then provisions the test configuration deployment plan to a data center resource, running test cases and collecting results until the time or test cases are exhausted. Afterward, the processor releases the allocated resources, which may include undeploying or unprovisioning.
