Abstract: A method of determining feature usage on a set of storage systems deployed across multiple customer sites includes defining metrics related to the features of interest, and pushing the defined metrics to an AIM (Autonomous Infrastructure Module) of an operating system of each storage system. The AIM on each storage system collects data associated with the metrics from the operating system on the storage system. The collected data is aggregated and formatted by the AIM and then used to create an autonomous field telemetry report. Autonomous field telemetry reports are periodically forwarded on a communication network to an analytics engine. The analytics engine parses each autonomous field telemetry report to extract usage information related to the features of interest, loads the parsed data to PostgreSQL staging and historical databases, and uses the parsed data alone or in combination with the historical data to create analytics and visualizations of the analytics.

Abstract: A system and method for omnichannel voice and text-based advertising using voice recognition.

Abstract: A distributed system may implement analyzing resource placement fragmentation for capacity planning. Capacity planning may determine when, where, and how much capacity to implement for a distributed system that hosts resources. Placement constraints for resources may, over time, create fragmentation or stranded capacity which is available yet unusable to host new resources. Analyzing capacity fragmentation across a distributed system may allow a determination of available capacity that is actually available to host additional resources. In some embodiments, future resource placements may be estimated in order to perform capacity fragmentation analysis to determine available capacity.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for displaying a name label. The method includes: obtaining an original group message sent in a group carrying an original name label of a specified user; obtaining a target name label corresponding to the original name label based on a language version of a client of a current recipient in the group; replacing the original name label of the specified user carried in the original group message with the target name label to generate a target group message carrying the target name label; and displaying the target group message to a recipient user on the client of the current recipient.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a message normalization system for multi-cloud messaging systems. The system may include identifying a first input notification with a first cloud service provider that originated from a first cloud service provider. A second input notification is identified with a second cloud service provider that originated from a second cloud service provider. First data and second data are extracted from the first and second input notifications. The first and second data are translated into a first and second message having a predetermined standardized format. The predetermined standardized format is distinct from a first input notification format and a second input notification format. The first message and the second message are delivered to a multi-cloud messaging system, the multi-cloud messaging system hosted by a cloud service provider manager.
