  • Patent number: 11163598
    Abstract: Instead of transferring a large original file, such as a virtual-machine image file, from a source system to a target system, the original file is encoded to define a recipe file that is transferred. The recipe is then decoded to yield a duplicate of the original file on the target system. Encoding involves identifying standard blocks in the original file and including standard-block identifiers for the standard blocks in the recipe in lieu of the original blocks. Decoding involves an exchange with a standard-block identifier server system, which provides standard blocks in response to received standard-block identifiers.

  • Patent number: 11151165
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for utilizing data flow analysis to perform data classification with respect to a source dataset and a generated derived dataset. A flow confidence for a field is calculated using an adaptive algorithm in accordance with the action performed and the derived dataset. An associated derived confidence for a particular tag is calculated in accordance with an associated confidence and the flow confidence. When the associated derived confidence is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the particular tag is copied to the derived dataset. In some embodiments, when the associated derived confidence is less than or equal to a second threshold, the particular tag is not copied to the derived dataset. Otherwise an action to be taken is identified. A response to the action is received and the adaptive algorithm is modified in accordance with the received response.
