Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to a centralized computing system that interacts with a plurality of data centers, each having an edge server. Each edge server obtains sensor information from a plurality of sensors and processes the sensor information to detect an imminent shutdown and sends emergency data to a centralized processing entity when detected. In order to make a decision, the edge server processes the sensor data based on dynamic sensor thresholds and dynamic prioritizer data by syncing with the centralized computing system. Because of the short time duration to report emergency data before an imminent complete shutdown, an edge server may utilize a quantum data pipeline and quantum data storage as a key medium for all data transfer in a normal condition and at the time of emergency for internally transporting processed sensor data and providing the emergency data to the centralized processing entity.

Abstract: In an approach for optimizing the enhancement of media content using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), a processor identifies a degree of enhancement to be performed on the media content to attain the defined quality. A processor calculates a length of time required to enhance the media content to the degree of enhancement identified considering one or more factors. A processor identifies a buffer required to enhance the media content to the degree of enhancement identified, wherein the buffer prevents an interruption in the media content. A processor identifies a distribution to enhance the media content between a cloud hosted server and a user computing device. A processor enhances the media content according to the distribution identified.

The transport stream, for a time duration based on the at least one common segment, includes a first audio feed of the first content and a first video feed of the first content to be provided on the second channel. The system then transmits the transport stream to the one or more subscriber devices.

Abstract: A cloud configuration, including public and private clouds, is organized hierarchically, with a top level and any number of lower levels. A parent level cloud receives resource workload metrics from respective child level cloud(s), makes predictions, based in part on the metrics, as to future resource needs at the child level. The parent level sets up runtime-modifiable business rules and scaling plans based on the predictions. The parent level cloud sends the scaling plans to respective child level(s). The parent level automatically triggers a scaling plan at a child level, if conditions written into the business rules are satisfied. Resources are scaled upward or downward automatically as needed to maintain optimal resource usage.
