  • Patent number: 11803570
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide selective synchronization of DNS records. A synchronization data store is synchronized by: obtaining a complete set of domain name system (DNS) records for a first data center; and copying the complete set of DNS records to the synchronization data store. After the synchronization data store is initialized, at a particular time interval, a snapshot of the complete set of DNS records is repeatedly collected. Differences between the copied complete set of DNS records of the synchronization data store and the snapshot of the complete set of DNS records are identified. The synchronization data store is updated with the differences and a determination is made as to whether the differences should be implemented at a second data center. When the differences should be implemented at the second data center, the differences are propagated to the second data center, otherwise they are not.

  • Patent number: 11805117
    Abstract: In some examples, a cloud-based management system receives information identifying electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management by the cloud-based management system, receives, from a first electronic device, a request to establish a secure connection between the cloud-based management system and the first electronic device, and receives, from the first electronic device, a certificate. The cloud-based management system confirms, based on information in the certificate and the information identifying the electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management, that the cloud-based management system is to perform the cloud-based management of the first electronic device over the secure connection.

  • Patent number: 11736586
    Abstract: A high-performance distributed ledger and transaction computing network fabric over which large numbers of transactions (involving the transformation, conversion or transfer of information or value) are processed concurrently in a scalable, reliable, secure and efficient manner. In one embodiment, the computing network fabric or “core” is configured to support a distributed blockchain network that organizes data in a manner that allows communication, processing and storage of blocks of the chain to be performed concurrently, with little synchronization, at very high performance and low latency, even when the transactions themselves originate from distant sources. This data organization relies on segmenting a transaction space within autonomous but cooperating computing nodes that are configured as a processing mesh. Each computing node typically is functionally-equivalent to all other nodes in the core.

  • Patent number: 11728964
    Abstract: A method begins by a processing module of a storage unit of a storage network identifying a first storage format used to store a plurality of encoded data slices in a first memory of the storage unit and continues with the processing module determining to utilize another storage format for storage of the plurality of encoded data slices. The method then continues, with the storage unit selecting a second storage format for storage of the plurality of encoded data slices and initiating migration of the plurality of encoded data slices from the first storage format to storage using the second storage format. Finally, the method continues with updating a performance metric for at least a portion of the storage network while initiating migrating the plurality of encoded data slices.

  • Patent number: 11729053
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system enables users to create dynamically configurable applications that can be dynamically configured and adjusted. An application that runs on the server system in a first configuration is configured using a first configuration template. Data indicating (i) that the application is being accessed on a computing device in the first configuration, and (ii) a request to adjust the first configuration of the application is received. Operations are then performed while the application is being accessed on the computing device in the first configuration. A second configuration template that specifies a second configuration of the application corresponding to the request included in the received data is generated. The application is adjusted using the second configuration template to run in the second configuration. An instruction is provided to the computing device to enable the computing device to access the application running in the second configuration.

  • Patent number: 11700205
    Abstract: A method of optimizing network traffic visibility resources comprises receiving, by a controller associated with a network traffic visibility system, information indicative of operation of the network traffic visibility system. The method further comprises facilitating, by the controller, control of resources in the network traffic visibility system, according to a configured resource control policy. The facilitating can include providing, by the controller, control signaling to cause maximization of network traffic monitoring fidelity for a plurality of Quality of Service (QoS) classes of network traffic, based on a specified fixed amount of one or more network resources associated with the network traffic visibility system. Alternatively or additionally, the facilitating can include providing, by the controller, control signaling to cause minimization of use of the one or more network resources, based on a specified fixed level of traffic monitoring fidelity associated with the plurality of QoS classes.

  • Patent number: 11700215
    Abstract: A first user equipment (UE)—during a real time text (RTT) communication session with a second UE—may make a control function available to a local user of the first UE, who may invoke the control function to break up his/her RTT content within organized conversation bubbles. In an example process, after displaying first text character(s)—which was input by the local user—within a first conversation bubble designated for the first UE (or the local user thereof), the first UE may detect an invocation of the control function, followed by additional user input requesting to type one or more second text characters. Invocation of the control function prior to the additional user input requesting to type the second text character(s) may cause the first UE to display the second text character(s) within a second conversation bubble designated for the first UE, rather than the first conversation bubble.
