Filed:

Nov 21, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/719781

Inventors:

Kevin Goodman - Alpharetta GA, US

Assignee:

RTO Sortware, Inc - Suwanee GA

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711165, 719331

Abstract:

Processes are monitored as components are loaded into memory. Relocation of a component to an alternate base address instead of its preferred base address, causes an alternate component to be created corresponding to the relocated component. The alternate component is a copy of the relocated component, but the preferred base address of the alternate component is reset to be the alternate base address of the relocated component. Additional alternate components may be created for each relocated component, with each additional alternate component being optimized in a different manner. Alternate components may be implemented as alternate data stream of the corresponding relocated components. In response to subsequent requests to load a selected component into memory, it is determined whether the selected component has at least one corresponding alternate component. If so, one of the corresponding alternate components is loaded into memory instead of the selected component.

Appl. No.:

10/062619

Inventors:

Kevin Goodman - Alpharetta GA, US

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711/202000, 711/170000, 709/328000

Abstract:

Processes are monitored to determine if all of their components are loaded from persistent storage into memory at their preferred base addresses. Each of the components is examined to determine if that component's in-memory base address matches the preferred base address of its on-disk representation. If a base address collision is detected, the on-disk representation of the preferred base address is updated to reflect the new in-memory base address.

Appl. No.:

11/647675

Inventors:

Kevin Goodman - Alpharetta GA, US

Assignee:

RTO Software, Inc. - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717151

Abstract:

An application program includes an executable file and at least one other component (e.g. a DLL). A copy of the executable file is created and its import address table is modified by replacing a reference to the component with a reference to a delay-load component and replacing a reference to an imported function included within the component with a reference to a delay-load function included within the delay-load component. The delay-load function is designed to load the component into memory upon execution of a function call designed to access the imported function. The copy of the executable file may be saved as an alternate data stream of the original executable file. The copy of the executable file may be loaded into memory in response to a command for initializing the application program. As a result, the delay-load component will be loaded into memory instead of the component.

Abstract:

The present systems and methods generally relate to the elimination or reduction of network traffic required to support operations on a file of any size stored remotely on a file server or network share. More particularly, the present systems and methods relate to encapsulation of a remote file in such a way that the file appears to the local operating system and any local applications to be residing locally, thus overcoming some of the performance issues associated with multiple users accessing a single network share (e.g., CIF S share) and/or a single user remotely accessing a large file.

International Classification:

G06F 9/451
G06F 9/455
G06F 16/188

Abstract:

Technologies are disclosed for providing remote application access in a virtual desktop infrastructure (“VDI”) environment. Application and OS files may be encapsulated in VHDs in such a way that the files appear to an OS and applications to be stored on a local mass storage device. A filter driver may monitor registry activity, detect I/O requests or instructions directed to paths at a local computing system, and redirect the detected I/O requests or instructions to an attached VHD. This allows for a computing system to access an application encapsulated within a remote VHD as if the application was stored locally. In this way, the computing device may access and use applications in a virtual computing environment without the need to package/sequence the applications.

Abstract:

Technologies are disclosed for redirecting input/output (“I/O”) requests to virtual hard disks (“VHDs”) to improve network performance and data redundancy. More particularly, files can be encapsulated in remote VHDs and accessed in such a way that the files appear to a local operating system and any local applications to be residing locally. Furthermore, I/O requests redirected to files encapsulated in VHDs may also be redirected to one or more additional VHDs for data redundancy. The redirected I/O requests may be transmitted simultaneously but separately to the additional VHDs in a split stream.
