8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT), a provider of cloud based unified
communications, contact center and collaboration services, today
announced that it has been awarded a new patent related to its
network services. On January 27, 2015, the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office issued United States Patent number 8,943,180
entitled “Server-based Service Configuration System and
Approach.”
The new patent relates to, among other things, a host network
location that includes two or more servers that automatically
reconfigure their services in response to controller service
settings corresponding to each server. Each server reads
configuration information provided at a controller such as a domain
name server (DNS), and in response, starts a network-based service
corresponding to the configuration information. For instance, each
of the two or more servers may be adapted to provide mail service
via simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) and web service via hyper
text transfer protocol (HTTP). In this regard, when a DNS
associates a first one of the servers with HTTP services and a
second one of the servers with SMTP services, each server
reconfigures its services accordingly, e.g., at a selected
configuration time after startup or in response to an initiating
event.
Since its establishment, 8x8 has been awarded one-hundred one
(101) United States patents covering a variety of voice and video
communications, signaling, processing and storage technologies.
