Computer system and process for transferring multiple high bandwidth streams of data between multiple storage units and multiple applications in a scalable and reliable manner

Multiple applications request data from multiple storage units over a computer network. The data is divided into segments and each segment is distributed randomly on one of several storage units, independent of the storage units on which other segments of the media data are stored. At least one additional copy of each segment also is distributed randomly over the storage units, such that each segment is stored on at least two storage units. This random distribution of multiple copies of segments of data improves both scalability and reliability. When an application requests a selected segment of data, the request is processed by the storage unit with the shortest queue of requests. Random fluctuations in the load applied by multiple applications on multiple storage units are balanced nearly equally over all of the storage units. This combination of techniques results in a system which can transfer multiple, independent high-bandwidth streams of data in a scalable manner in both directions between multiple applications and multiple storage units.

Fibre channel over ethernet

A Data Center Ethernet (“DCE”) network and related methods and device are provided. A DCE network simplifies the connectivity of data centers and provides a high bandwidth, low latency network for carrying Ethernet, storage and other traffic. A Fibre Channel (“FC”) frame, including FC addressing information, is encapsulated in an Ethernet frame for transmission on a Data Center Ethernet (“DCE”) network. The Ethernet address fields may indicate that the frame includes an FC frame, e.g., by the use of a predetermined Organization Unique Identifier (“OUI”) code in the D_MAC field, but also include Ethernet addressing information. Accordingly, the encapsulated frames can be forwarded properly by switches in the DCE network whether or not these switches are configured for operation according to the FC protocol. Accordingly, only a subset of Ethernet switches in the DCE network needs to be FC-enabled. Only switches so configured will require an FC Domain_ID.

Method and apparatus for caching for streaming data

Streaming video data from the video title is delivered to a client from a central server and a proxy server. To reduce the backbone bandwidth required, a portion of the video title is cached at the proxy server where the portion cached is distributed over the video title so as to reduce the peak bit rate required for the central server to send the remaining portion of the video title. The amount cached at the proxy server may be adjusted in accordance with access profile of video titles to improve caching efficiency. The portion cached may be the basic layer in a scalable multilayer approach where only the basic layer may be sent to a client who has limited bandwidth while clients with higher bandwidth capability may also receive the enhancement layer(s) for improved video reception.

Method and apparatus for adaptive transmission of sensor data with latency controls

Disclosed is a method and apparatus to continuously transmit high bandwidth, real-time data, on a communications network (e.g., wired, wireless, and a combination of wired and wireless segments). A control computing device uses user or application requirements to dynamically adjust the throughput of the system to match the bandwidth of the communications network being used, so that data latency is minimized. An operator can visualize the instantaneous characteristic of the link and, if necessary, make a tradeoff between the latency and resolution of the data to help maintain the real-time nature of the system and better utilize the available network resources. Automated control strategies have also been implemented into the system to enable dynamic adjustments of the system throughput to minimize latency while maximizing data resolution.

Load balancing in mobile environment

In next generation wireless networks such as a Mobile WiMAX traffic prioritization is used to provide differentiated quality of service (QoS). Unnecessary ping-pong handovers that result from premature reaction to fluctuating radio resources pose a great threat to the QoS of delay sensitive connections such as VoIP which are sensitive to scanning and require heavy handover mechanisms. Traffic-class-specific variables are defined to tolerate unbalance in the radio system in order to avoid making the system slow to react to traffic variations and decreasing system wide resource utilization. By setting thresholds to trigger load balancing gradually in fluctuating environment the delay sensitive connections avoid unnecessary handovers and the delay tolerant connections have a chance to react to the load increase and get higher bandwidth from a less congested BS. A framework for the resolution of static user terminals in the overlapping area within adjacent cells will be described.

Systems and methods for promotion of calculations to cloud-based computation resources

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for the promotion of calculations to cloud-based computation resources. One or more applications, such as spreadsheet applications, can prepare the calculation of a relatively large-scale computation, such as running statistical reports on large (e.g., greater than 1000 by 1000 cell) spreadsheets or other data objects. If the pending calculation is determined to be greater than a computation threshold for instance in computation intensity or data size, a computation request can be sent to a promotion engine. The promotion engine can identify a set of computation resources located in a cloud or other network and transmit the data request and subject data to the set of computation resources, which afford greater computation speed than the local machine hosting the requesting application. A set of results is returned from the cloud to the requesting application, thereby creating higher bandwidth and faster calculation times for the user.
