Included within a shared housing are at least one user interface element; a first isolated computational entity; a second isolated computational entity; and a switching arrangement. The switching arrangement is configured to, in a first mode, connect the first isolated computational entity to the at least one user interface element; and, in a second mode, connect the second isolated computational entity to the at least one user interface element.

Metadata driven version management service determines one or more version operations to perform based on the properties of a device, computing environment and metadata associated with a file being versioned. The version management service allows different devices to perform different version operations based on different device properties.

A method for customizing virtual machines includes retrieving a virtual machine image file from a library of virtual machine image files. A target virtual machine image file is created by making a copy of the retrieved virtual machine image file. A file size of the target virtual machine image file is increased. A partition size of a primary partition of the target virtual machine image file is increases. The target virtual machine image file is booted after the partition size of the primary partition thereof has been increased.

System for customized virtual machine for a target hypervisor by copying image file from a library, and increase file and partition size prior to booting

A system and method is described for using a component business model to partition a business into non-overlapping components, and then allocating different components to appropriate organizing strategies, based on attribute values assigned to each component. In the best mode of implementation there are two attributes: whether or not the component differentiates the business within the market place; and whether the component is industry standard or is tailored by the organization. These attributes and their values map the components of the business to a matrix. Based on the combination of attribute values in each cell of the matrix, available organizing strategies are also mapped to the matrix, thereby identifying for each component an appropriate organizing strategy.

An enterprise system includes a plurality of artifacts (e.g., persons, objects, databases, autonomous elements, intelligent agents, information systems, etc), and a smart distance (e.g., a distance which may optimize the performance of the enterprise system) between the plurality of artifacts.

A wireless key is signal, having a key-specific identifier, is received, the key-specific identifier detected, and the signal transmission location is calculated. The signal transmission location is stored based on the detected key-specific identifier. Another instance of the same wireless key signal is received, its key-specific identifier is detected, and the stored signal transmission location is retrieved based on the detected key-specific identifier. Optionally, a wireless key signal is received at a user and repeated at a plurality of locations in a parking facility. A vehicle response is detected, and associated with one of the repeatings of the wireless key signal. A location of the vehicle response is detected based on the repeating with which it is associated.

A data storage system in which each of a set of disks has a first portion for either popular data or error correction information (parity or Reed-Solomon code symbols) associated with the popular data, and a second portion used for other data. A disk controller connected to the set of disks maintains a first popular data block in the first portion of a first of the set of disks and a second popular data block in the first portion of a second of the set of disks. The system maintains at least two of the disks in an active state. The active disks are selected to insure that any data in the popular data blocks can be determined from data stored in the active disks. An additional disk is maintained in an active state if write access is permitted or if there is an additional popular data block.

Multiple disk data storage system for reducing power consumption

A method, system and computer program product for sharing an Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) drive among server blades in a dense server environment. By logically partitioning the IDE drive, where each logical partition is associated with a particular server blade, the IDE disk may be shared among multiple server blades in the dense server environment.

A spacer-connector stud comprises a stacked array of glass epoxy laminates, each laminate having a copper layer laminated thereto. The top and bottom laminates of the stud include a spatial array of thermal contacts suitable as a footprint for C4 bump technology. A location is selected on a circuitized base card to accommodate the laminated stud. The stud has a thickness greater than twice the thickness of the components attached to the card. The thermal contacts on the stud, typically solderable, join to a wiring array on the card. A second multi-chip module card having attached and interconnected components on both sides of the second card is mechanically aligned with the based card and pressed against the contacts on the top layer of the stud to form an assembly. The assembly is heated causing the second card to become soldered to the contact footprint on the stud.
