A system and method are provided for translating local IP addresses to globally unique IP addresses. This allows local hosts in an enterprise network to share global IP addresses from a limited pool of such addresses available to the enterprise. The translation is accomplished by replacing the source address in headers on packets destined for the Internet and by replacing destination address in headers on packets entering the local enterprise network from the Internet. Packets arriving from the Internet are screened by an adaptive security algorithm. According to this algorithm, packets are dropped and logged unless they are deemed nonthreatening. DNS packets and certain types of ICMP packets are allowed to enter local network. In addition, FTP data packets are allowed to enter the local network, but only after it has been established that their destination on the local network initiated an FTP session.

A system and method are disclosed for transparently proxying a connection to a protected machine. The method includes monitoring a communication packet on a network at a proxy machine. The communication packet has a communication packet source address, source port number, destination address, and destination port number. The proxy determines whether to intercept the communication packet based on whether the communication packet destination address and the communication packet destination port number correspond to a protected destination address and a protected destination port number stored in a proxy list. The proxy machine then determines whether to proxy a proxied connection associated with the communication packet based on the communication packet source address and the communication packet source port number. A protected connection is terminated from the proxy machine to a protected machine. The protected machine corresponds to the communication packet destination address and the communication packet destination port number.

A storage area network (SAN) is provided with redundancy and recovery mechanism. A primary storage switch performs dynamic address translation between logical storage addresses received from host devices and physical addresses of SAN storage arrays. When power failure in the primary storage switch is detected, metadata associated with the dynamic address translation operation is sent to a secondary storage switch via a network connection to provide the dynamic address translation in lieu of the primary storage switch. A storage array experiencing power failure similarly sends cached data to another storage array via a network connection so that the other storage array can substitute the failed storage array. During the power failure, a data backup module in the primary storage switch or the storage array is powered by a temporary power source.

Disclosed is a system and method for handling a plurality of connection requests made for a plurality of virtual machines with a single physical machine. A system and method are disclosed for distributing virtual connections among a plurality of physical machines some or all of which are configured to handle connections for more than one virtual machine. In one embodiment, a packet translation system for handling connections from clients on an external network to a plurality of IP addresses with a server having a server IP address and a server port number includes a client interface to the external network. The client interface is operative to receive and send packets to and from a remote client. A server interface is operative to receive and send packets to and from the server and the server is operative to establish a connection with the remote client. A packet interceptor is operative to intercept incoming packets received at the client interface which have a packet destination IP address and a packet destination port number corresponding to a virtual machine IP address and a virtual machine port number which is supported by the packet translation system.

A system and method are disclosed for bypassing a participating application that receives data from a client connection between a proxy and a client and receives data from a server connection between a proxy and a server is disclosed. The method includes deriving a client originated packet sequence synchronization factor. The client originated packet sequence synchronization factor is derived from the difference between a last data sequence number sent by the participating application to the server and a last data acknowledgment number sent by the participating application to the client. A server originated packet sequence synchronization factor is derived from the difference between a last data sequence number sent by the participating application to the client and a last data acknowledgment number sent by the participating application to the server. A server originated data sequence number of a packet sent from the server to the client is adjusted using the server originated packet sequence synchronization factor. A client originated the data acknowledgment number of a packet sent from the client to the server is adjusted using the server originated packet sequence synchronization factor.

A process executed by a computing device uses commands having a first format to exchange data through a network with a storage device configured to execute commands having a second format. A storage device controller identifies a command type associated with a command received from the process and identifies one or more physical memory addresses associated with the command. The storage device controller identifies a command having a second format associated with the received command and generates a network request including the command having the second format, the one or more physical memory addresses, a device identifier associated with the storage device and a tag. The network request is transmitted through a network to the storage device which executes the command having the second format. For example, an AoE request including an ATA command is generated from a received SCSI command.

The present invention is a system and method for managing content across one or more storage device systems. A typical system according to the present invention includes one or more indexing systems and a set of storage device systems. Each indexing system monitors usage of content stored on the storage systems. Based upon usage of particular content, an indexing system may issue requests such as move, delete or copy to more efficiently utilize the overall storage capacity of the storage system. All indexing systems monitor the servicing of such requests and update stored data concerning the file subject to the request accordingly.
