A system, method and computer program product for dynamically binding a server to a remote disk in a data center is provided. In a data center, servers and storage devices that manage multiple remote disks communicate over a switched fabric by using a standard protocol suite. The servers, storage devices and the switched fabric constitute a Storage Area Network (SAN). The devices present on the SAN are assigned a virtual identity, independent of their physical identity. The virtual identity of the servers facilitates the dynamic instantiation of the server images located on multiple remote disks on the servers.

Method and system for dynamic binding in a storage area network

A method, system and computer program product for automatically generating an operating system boot image for remotely booting a target machine is provided. The operating system boot image is installed on a first machine. The first machine and the target machine are connected with each other. Further, the hardware information of the target machine is extracted. An example of the hardware information includes Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) devices present on the target machine. The operating system boot image is configured, based on the hardware information.

Method and system for automatic generation of operating system boot images

A system and a method for implementing a virtual data center. In which, the functions to be performed by a computer, and the access the computer equipment is required to have to the storage and network facilities, are decoupled from the hardware, and instantiated dynamically on any suitable computer equipment, without any manual intervention. In a virtual data center, all the physical resources are virtualized and arranged dynamically, to meet the functional requirements of the data center.

Virtual data center for network resource management

Improved techniques for synchronizing different electronic mail mailboxes (accounts) of a user are disclosed. The user is able to effectively see and interact with only a single 'virtual' mailbox, which is the synchronized combination of the two different electronic mailboxes. The electronic mailboxes are used to receive, store, read and send electronic mail over a network to electronic mailboxes associated with recipients. The electronic mail can include electronic messages that contain text, graphics or video. The synchronization of the two different electronic mailboxes can be performed automatically in a two-way manner without user interaction. The synchronization can also be performed securely even though electronic messages are transmitted over a public network.

Mail synchronization of remote and local mail systems

Improved techniques for controlling notification characteristics for wireless communication devices are disclosed. One aspect of the improved techniques pertains to timer-based notification control for wireless communication devices. Another aspect of the improved techniques pertains to calendar-based notification control for wireless communication devices. Still another aspect of the invention pertains to graphical user interfaces that can be utilized to set or monitor notification characteristics for wireless communication devices. The improved techniques are particularly suitable for use with wireless communication devices having constrained keypads and wireless browsers that display documents (e.g., such as markup language documents) or messages to users of the wireless communication devices.
