Abstract: An improved information management system that implements a staging area or cache to temporarily store primary data in a native format before the primary data is converted into secondary copies in a secondary format is described herein. For example, the improved information management system can include various media agents that each include one or more high speed drives. When a client computing device provides primary data for conversion into secondary copies, the primary data can initially be stored in the native format in the high speed drive(s). If the client computing device then submits a request for the primary data, the media agent can simply retrieve the primary data from the high speed drive(s) and transmit the primary data to the client computing device. Because the primary data is already in the native format, no conversion operations are performed by the media agent, thereby reducing the restore delay.

Abstract: A string, identifying an item to be assigned to a physical resource, is hashed to obtain a numeric hash value. The numeric hash value is downscaled to obtain a bucket identifier that identifies a bucket that will hold the numeric hash value. The bucket is then deterministically mapped to a physical resource so that it can be retrieved without accessing a stored data structure representative of the mapping.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for bridging clouds of computing devices for compute and data storage. The technology can receive a virtual routing table (VRT), wherein the VRT indicates an association with a virtual local area network (VLAN) and defines neighbors for each route wherein at least one neighbor is defined for each of the two different cloud service providers, wherein the route definition creates a private transitive network between the neighbors; receive from a first node a first message destined for a second node; determine that the first message employs the route specified by the VRT; forward the first message to the second node; receive from a third node a second message destined for the second node; determine that the second message does not employ the route specified by the VRT; and fail to forward the second message to the second node.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments, collectively referred to as the “Message Ordering Buffer” or “MOB”, relate to an improved messaging platform, or processing system, which may also be referred to as a message processing architecture or platform, which routes messages from a publisher to a subscriber ensuring related messages, e.g., ordered messages, are conveyed to a single recipient, e.g., processing thread, without unnecessarily committing resources of the architecture to that recipient or otherwise preventing message transmission to other recipients. The disclosed embodiments further include additional features which improve efficient and facilitate deployment in different application environments. The disclosed embodiments may be deployed as a message oriented middleware component directly installed, or accessed as a service, and accessed by publishers and subscribers, as described herein, so as to electronically exchange messages therebetween.

Abstract: A computer system hosting (micro)services that uses a service mesh to govern communication between the services. The services include consumer services and an event stream service, the latter directing an event stream from a producer service to the individual consumer services. The control plane of the service mesh has the role of creating and removing service instances. Based on a specified event capacity that is to be provided by the consumer services collectively, the control plane manages service provisioning by estimating the current event capacity of the system. This is done by measuring the event capacities of each consumer service instance and summing them, from which any shortfall or excess of the current event capacity in relation to the specified event capacity can be determined. Consumer service instances are then added in case of a shortfall or removed in case of an excess as needed to avoid over or under-provisioning.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide a message relay service. The message relay service provides an application programming interface (API) with which messages can be sent and received without handling specific implementation details of a messaging system. When inbound messages are received, the message relay service may provide a push notification and/or may store the message for later access. In examples, one or more source addresses are used to send messages. If the client device indicates a group of addresses should be used, one address is selected from the group and used to send a message accordingly. In some examples, the message relay service determines that a messaging gateway need not be used to message a recipient address, and transmits the message without use of the messaging gateway. The same API may be used to send and receive messages across different messaging systems without a customer handling system-specific complexities.

Abstract: In some embodiments, techniques for generating personalized unsubscribe options for emails are provided. For example, a subscription management system can access information associated with an active email subscription and a user profile for a user. The subscription management system can determine a temporary unsubscribe time period for the user based on the information associated with the active email subscription and the profile of the user. The subscription management system can embed multiple unsubscribe options in an email to be sent to the user. The multiple unsubscribe options can represent respective unsubscribe time periods including the temporary unsubscribe time period. The subscription management system can cause the email to be sent to the user and receiving a selection among the multiple unsubscribe options indicating a selected unsubscribe time period.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device maintains a buffer of historical telemetry data of a particular type of telemetry. The device obtains new telemetry data of the particular type of telemetry. The device makes a state evaluation by comparing the new telemetry data to the buffer, to determine whether the new telemetry data is an outlier. The device sends a message indicative of the new telemetry data to a message bus for delivery to a recipient that is not subscribed to receive telemetry data of the particular type of telemetry, when the device determines that the new telemetry data is an outlier.

The device can determine a second index in the highest level that is after the index in the highest level and has a bit value indicating server availability. The device can identify an index in the lowest level mapping to the second index in the highest level. The device can select a server corresponding to the index in the lowest level.

Abstract: The system and methods described aid content delivery by providing requested content using a hybrid delivery of unicast and multicast content. A content delivery system receives, from user equipment, a request for content and identifies multicast sources for the content. The content delivery system determines a recent multicast source from the multicast sources, the recent multicast source having begun more recently relative to the other sources. The content delivery system transmits, to the user equipment, an identity of the recent multicast source and provides a beginning portion of the content to the user equipment via a unicast stream.
