Enterprise Console

View page
US Patent:
7398272, Jul 8, 2008
Filed:
Mar 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/804799
Inventors:
David Salim Hindawi - Berkeley CA, US
David Leigh Donoho - Stanford CA, US
Lisa Ellen Lippincott - Berkeley CA, US
Dennis S. Goodrow - Santa Rosa CA, US
James Milton Brown - Novato CA, US
Peter Lincroft - Berkeley CA, US
Peter Benjamin Loer - Oakland CA, US
Orion Yosef Hindawi - Berkeley CA, US
Assignee:
Bigfix, Inc. - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707 10, 707 5, 709203
Abstract:
A console for an enterprise suite is disclosed. The enterprise suite addresses the increasingly complex problem of keeping critical systems updated, compatible, and free of security holes. It uses Fixlet technology to identify vulnerable computers on the network and then allows authorized personnel to correct problems across any subset of the network with a few simple mouse-clicks. The enterprise suite helps keep the networked computers updated and properly patched, all from a central console which, along with supporting architectural enhancements, is the subject matter of this document. The invention allows rolling out a security patch in minutes instead of months, thus allowing an administrator to stay ahead of potential hacker attacks. The invention also makes it possible to track the progress of each computer as updates are applied, thus making it simple to gauge the level of compliance across the entire enterprise.

Pseudo-Agent

View page
US Patent:
8161149, Apr 17, 2012
Filed:
Mar 7, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/044614
Inventors:
Lisa Ellen Lippincott - Berkeley CA, US
Peter James Lincroft - Emeryville CA, US
Peter Benjamin Loer - Emeryville CA, US
Jeremy Scott Spiegel - Emeryville CA, US
Dennis Sidney Goodrow - Emeryville CA, US
Gregory Mitchell Toto - Emeryville CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709223, 709202
Abstract:
A pseudo-agent is disclosed herein that bridges this divide. For purposes of the discussion herein, a pseudo-agent is a machine that is installed on a fully capable host machine, such as a Windows or UNIX machine, and that gathers and evaluates content from a management server, takes actions if so instructed, and reports the results of its evaluation upstream. However, unlike an agent in a traditional management system, which inspects and acts on the local machine, the pseudo-agent actually inspects and acts on a remote device, or many remote devices.

Method And Apparatus For Distributed Policy-Based Management And Computed Relevance Messaging With Remote Attributes

View page
US Patent:
8495157, Jul 23, 2013
Filed:
Sep 14, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/882106
Inventors:
Dennis Sidney Goodrow - Santa Rosa CA, US
Amrit Tsering Williams - Alamo CA, US
Gregory Mitchell Toto - Piedmont CA, US
Peter Benjamin Loer - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709206, 709207
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention provides a technique that extends relevance-based computation to include computation based on information accessed from or exchanged with other agents. Mechanisms are provided by which an agent accesses or exchanges information between or among other agents and may include one or more of: central bulletin board, broadcast, direct request—pull, direct request—push, and server-routed. Architectural models of distributed decision making to facilitate a distributed and policy-based management of IT infrastructure are provided.

Endpoint-Hosted Hypervisor Management

View page
US Patent:
8621460, Dec 31, 2013
Filed:
Nov 1, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/917344
Inventors:
James B. Evans - Orinda CA, US
Jonathan S. Fan - Oakland CA, US
Dennis S. Goodrow - Santa Rosa CA, US
Benjamin J. Kus - Alameda CA, US
Peter B. Loer - Oakland CA, US
Jason E. Mealins - San Francisco CA, US
Gregory M. Toto - Piedmont CA, US
Amrit T. Williams - Alamo CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 9/455
G06F 11/00
G06F 15/173
US Classification:
718 1, 726 25, 709224
Abstract:
A client hypervisor comprises a virtual agent that runs outside of a system OS and that allows device management independent of the OS and user. The virtual agent is tied to a device and not a specific instance of the OS. Such client hypervisors expose new functionality to ease managing systems. Some of these capabilities come from the persistence and privileges outside the OS. In some embodiments of the invention, this new management functionality is exposed to allow device management via new virtualization concepts, such as multiple VMs per system, VM replacement, snapshot/rollback, etc.

Method To Remotely Query, Safely Measure, And Securely Communicate Configuration Information Of A Networked Computational Device

View page
US Patent:
20030061197, Mar 27, 2003
Filed:
Aug 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/226709
Inventors:
David Hindawi - Berkeley CA, US
David Donoho - Berkeley CA, US
Lisa Lippincott - Berkeley CA, US
Orion Hindawi - Berkeley CA, US
Peter Loer - Oakland CA, US
Dennis Goodrow - Santa Rosa CA, US
James Brown - Novato CA, US
International Classification:
G06F007/00
US Classification:
707/001000
Abstract:
The invention disclosed herein enables a collection of computers and associated communications infrastructure to offer a new communications process which allows a requestor to receive configuration information of a computational device from a responder. The requester first sends query documents that contain queries for configuration information of a computational device to the responder; the responder automatically collects the answers for the queries and sends a response document that contains the configuration information of the computational device to the requestor. The queries are written in a formal descriptive language which is transparent, safe for network evaluation, and extensible, and the configuration reader of the responder can parse the queries and automatically invoke a set of standard inspectors to obtain the corresponding configuration information.
