Jens U. Horstmann - Santa Clara CA, US
Alan Rothkopf - Palo Alto CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206, 709248

Abstract:

A mail server collects messages from a number of user accounts and presents them to the user from a single location. The user can set the mail server to block unwanted messages and to forward others to various receiving devices, including mobile telephones and pagers. Forwarded messages are automatically reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. The retained copy can be viewed later if the user is interested in message content that was not available to the wireless device. The user can also use the wireless device to forward the original message to another receiving device. In the case of forwarding, the saved original message and not the reformatted message is sent to the forwarding address. Some embodiments include an email agent that automatically pushes messages from intranet clients to the mail server through a firewall, thereby enabling the mail server to consolidate messages from intranet and Internet sources.

Abstract:

A communication server collects messages from a number of user accounts and presents them to the user from a single location. The user can set the mail server to block unwanted messages and to forward others to various receiving devices, including mobile telephones and pagers. Forwarded messages are automatically reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. The retained copy can be viewed later if the user is interested in message content that was not available to the wireless device. The user can also use the wireless device to forward the original message to another receiving device. In the case of forwarding, the saved original message and not the reformatted message is sent to the forwarding address. Replies to messages directed to the user from different message sources identify the user by message source to allow the user to maintain separate email identities.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206, 709208

Abstract:

A mail server collects messages from a number of user accounts and presents them to the user from a single location. Forwarded messages are automatically reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. Messages may be reformatted to include the phone number of the message sender. The reformatted message can then present the user with an option to return the message via a phone call. The reformatted message can include more than one phone number, in which case the sender's phone numbers can be prioritized for presentation to the user. The reformatted message can also present the user with an option to review notes or other contact-specific information prior to responding to the message.

Justin Kitagawa - Lafayette CA, US

Assignee:

Gogrid, LLC - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709226

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a method for managing a hosting system that includes several nodes for hosting several virtual machines. The method identifies a particular size of disk volume to monitor within the hosting system. The method determines whether the number of disk volumes of the particular size that are (i) built on a set of hardware resources of a node of the hosting system and (ii) not allocated to a specific virtual machine falls below a threshold. When the number of disk volumes of the particular size falls below the threshold, the method determines at least one particular node on which to build a new disk volume of the particular size. The method sends instructions to the particular node to build a disk volume of the particular size. Some embodiments monitor images of a particular computer system within the hosting system.

Assignee:

Gogrid, LLC - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/177
G06F 9/455

US Classification:

709220, 718 1

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a method that, at a caching network of a hosting and storage system that includes several nodes for hosting virtual machines for users, receives a request for an image of a particular computer system configuration for deployment as a virtual machine on a particular node of the hosting system. The method determines whether the requested image is presently stored on the caching network. When the image is present on the caching network, the method streams the image to the particular node of the hosting system for deployment as a virtual machine on the particular node. When the image is not presently stored on the caching network, the method retrieves a copy of the image from a permanent storage network and then streams the image to the particular node of the hosting system for deployment as a virtual machine on the particular node.

US Classification:

715764, 715771, 715810

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a method that defines a user interface (UI) that displays several UI elements representing several virtual machines deployed in a particular configuration for a particular user in a hosting and storage system that includes several nodes for hosting user specified virtual machines. The method receives input from the user through the UI to save the particular configuration of virtual machines. For each virtual machine in the particular configuration, the method stores an image of the virtual machine. The method stores data representing the particular configuration of virtual machines. The data includes references to the stored images of the virtual machines and connections between the virtual machines.

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a method for creating an image of a virtual machine. The method identifies a particular computer system operating as a virtual machine with a particular configuration on a hardware resource of a hosting system that includes several hardware resources. The method captures data representing the particular computer system. Capturing the data includes copying a particular section of the data, computing a checksum for the particular section of the data, and streaming the particular section with the computed checksum to a storage.
