Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to techniques for dynamically adjusting a maximum rate of throughput for accessing data stored within a volume of storage space of a storage cluster system based on the amount of that data that is stored within that volume. An apparatus includes an access component to monitor an amount of client data stored within a volume defined within a storage device coupled to a first node, and to perform a data access command received from a client device via a network to alter the client data stored within the volume; and a policy component to limit a rate of throughput at which at least the client data within the volume is exchanged as part of performance of the data access command to a maximum rate of throughput, and to calculate the maximum rate of throughput based on the stored amount.

Abstract: A map of IP addresses of a distributed cloud computing network to one or more groupings is stored. The IP addresses are anycast IP addresses for which compute servers of the distributed cloud computing network share. These IP addresses are to be used as source IP addresses when transmitting traffic to destinations external to the cloud computing network. The map is made available to external destinations. Traffic is received at the distributed cloud computing network that is destined to an external destination. An IP address is selected based on the characteristic(s) applicable for the traffic and the map. The distributed cloud computing network transmits the traffic to the external destination using the selected IP address.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a data sharing system and a data sharing method. The data sharing system includes a storage device and a processor. The processor executes multiple modules stored by the storage device. When a first software as a service (SaaS) application program sends a data sharing request to a second SaaS application program, a mutual trust relationship service module receives a request for confirmation of a mutual trust relationship transmitted by the second SaaS application program, so as to confirm the mutual trust relationship. When the mutual trust relationship is confirmed, the mutual trust relationship service module obtains virtual user identification data from a tenant management service module, and provides the virtual user identification data to the second SaaS application program, so that the second SaaS application program obtains data authority, and shares specific data to the first SaaS application program.

Abstract: Northbound intent-based application insertion may be employed within a mobile communications network established with a software defined network (SDN) including both an applications plane and also a control plane in which different infrastructure resources are accessible through a northbound API. A request from a mobile application first is received in the control plane for the application to be inserted into the application layer utilizing different infrastructure resources of the control plane. The mobile application is then characterized and a set of recommended resources for the characterization retrieved. Finally, those of the resources to be utilized by the mobile application are compared to the set of recommended resources in order to identify a variance of resources and the resources to be utilized by the mobile application, as adjusted by the variance of resources, are then provisioned for use by the mobile application.

Abstract: An acquiring unit acquires information of the residence of one or more second users each having a second social media account related to a first user having a first social media account. An estimating unit estimates the residence of the first user from the information of the residence of the second user. A detecting unit detects a posting area at which the first user has posted on social media. A comparing unit compares the detected posting area with the estimated residence of the first user. A determining unit determines whether the posting area is an ordinary activity area or an extraordinary activity area for the first user based on the result of the comparison.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a cloud connection appliance features a processor and a non-transitory storage medium. The non-transitory storage medium comprises management control logic, that when executed by the processor, controls registration with a controller adapted to control data traffic between gateway instance and to establish a communication path including a reverse tunnel with the controller. The controller and cloud connection appliance operate in a client-server relationship with the cloud connection appliance operates as a client when establishing the communication path and operates as a server when receiving control information through the reverse tunnel. The reverse tunnel enables the cloud connection appliance to directly receive the control information from the controller despite the cloud connection application lacking a publicly routable Internet Protocol (IP) address.

Abstract: An information management system according to certain aspects can implement application archiving. The system may archive one or more applications on computing devices to make more storage space available on these devices. The system can determine which applications on client computing device to archive based on various factors. Some examples of factors can include frequency of use, application type, amount of application data and/or storage, user and/or device location, etc. The data to be archived can include one or more executable file(s), metadata, actual data, etc. After an application is archived, the system can generate a placeholder for the application; a placeholder can include information for restoring the archived application.

The first compute server receives a message to be processed by the first object worker from a second compute server. The message includes a second request for the object from a second client device connected to the second compute server. The piece of code processes the message and transmits a reply to the second compute server.

Abstract: A connection request from one computing entity is obtained. The connection request is a request to connect to another computing entity and includes a requested connectivity protocol configuration. A determination is made as to whether the requested connectivity protocol configuration is a match to a particular connectivity protocol configuration of the other computing entity. Based on determining that the requested connectivity protocol configuration is not a match to the particular connectivity protocol configuration of the other computing entity, a selected configuration file that is a match to the requested connectivity protocol configuration is selected from a plurality of configuration files. Based on selecting the selected configuration file, routing of the connection request to a connectivity protocol service corresponding to the selected configuration file is initiated to facilitate establishing a connection between the one computing entity and the other computing entity.
