Specifications of digital certificate validation security policies for a server within an intranet environment are received. A first one of the policies is specified to be applied for an intranet network connection and a second for a network connection outside the intranet. Each of the first and second policies includes a plurality of different configurable individual settings to enable or disable corresponding individual components of a plurality of different component digital certificate validation checks. A determination is made to establish a connection with a network destination and a digital certificate from the destination is received. One of the policies to apply for the connection is identified. For each of the plurality of the different component checks, a determination is made based on the identified policy whether to perform the component check for the received certificate. Any of the plurality of the different component checks determined to be performed are performed.

Customizable certificate validation policy

Methods and apparatus for providing a network attached storage system which does not require specialized hardware to operate. In one embodiment, a downloadable software package is provided via a web interface. After a user has downloaded and installed the software package, a sharable volume is created upon a host system. In one embodiment, the sharable volume is adapted to present the contents of one or more remote systems to the host system as a local file, drive, or directory. One or more processes resident in the host system are adapted to intercept a command interpretable by the host system and translate the command into one or more commands interpretable by at least one remote system. The one or more commands are then serviced by at least one remote system and a result set is generated. The result set may then be converted into a format interpretable by the host system and output accordingly.

Client application program interface for network-attached storage system

A method for locating an optimum storage node for serving a data file request received via a communications network, includes: receiving a file request from a user device coupled to the communications network; determining a geocode value based on a communications network address associated with the user device, wherein the geocode value is indicative of a geographic location of the user device; selecting a storage node from a plurality of storage nodes coupled to the communications network to serve the file request, wherein the storage node is selected based at least in part on the geocode value; and redirecting the file request to the selected storage node for handling.

Method and system for selecting a storage node based on a distance from a requesting device

Redirecting devices requesting access to files

A method for managing storage and access to data files stored in a storage delivery network comprising a plurality of geographically distributed storage nodes, the method including: receiving a file request from a user, wherein the user is associated with a service level agreement (SLA) containing one or more policies governing handling of file requests from the user; determining if the SLA dictates redirecting the file request to a predetermined storage node; if the SLA dictates redirecting the file request to a predetermined storage node, redirecting the file request to the predetermined storage node; otherwise, identifying all storage nodes from the plurality of geographically distributed storage nodes that are not too busy by determining whether a number of current access requests being served by each storage node exceeds a predetermined threshold value; identifying a nearest storage node from among the not too busy storage nodes; and redirecting the user request to the nearest storage node.

Policy-based file management for a storage delivery network

Method and system for determining an optimally located storage node in a communications network

A method for balancing loads among a plurality of data storage devices, includes: receiving a request from a user device to download a data file; identifying a first set of storage devices containing the requested data file, wherein the first set comprises one or more storage devices; identifying a first storage device from the set that is currently least busy among the storage devices in the first set, and directing the first storage device to serve the request; determining if the first storage device is too busy; and if the first storage device is too busy copying the requested data file to a second storage device which did not previously store the data file, thereby adding the second storage device to the first set of storage devices containing the requested data file.

Load based file allocation among a plurality of storage devices

A method for managing storage and access to data files stored in a storage delivery network comprising a plurality of geographically distributed storage nodes, the method including: receiving a file request from a user, wherein the user is associated with a service level agreement (SLA) containing one or more policies governing handling of file requests from the user; determining if the SLA dictates redirecting the file request to a predetermined storage node; if the SLA dictates redirecting the file request to a predetermined storage node, redirecting the file request to the predetermined storage node; otherwise, identifying all storage nodes from the plurality of geographically distributed storage nodes that are near enough to the user based on one or more predetermined criteria; identifying a nearest storage node from among the near enough storage nodes; and redirecting the user request to the nearest storage node.

The present invention provides a system for managing a complex, the system comprising a discovery and monitoring subsystem, a reference model store subsystem, a reference model transcription subsystem, a reference model generation subsystem, a model comparator subsystem, a reference model update subsystem, a nonconformance visualization subsystem, a conformance monitoring subsystem, a change procedure generator subsystem, and a change automation subsystem.
