Target Brands, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, has been assigned a patent (11934665) developed by Christenson, Mark Gregory Korent, Woodbury, MN, for a “bare-metal deployment.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A computer-implemented method is performed in a machine having at least one processor and storage. The at least one processor executes an agent and a host that are both stored in the storage. The at least one processor’s execution of the agent causes the at least one processor to create a new partition of the storage while the at least one processor is executing the host. The at least one processor’s execution of the agent causes the at least one processor to store a new operating system in the new partition of the storage while the at least one processor is executing the host. The at least one processor’s execution of the agent causes the at least one processor to reboot the machine into the new partition to cause the at least one processor to execute the new operating system.”
