Abstract: A method comprises receiving content from a source, and generating multiple content streams each comprising the received content. Each content stream includes segments comprising respective portions of the received content. Different segmenting is utilized in generating respective ones of the content streams such that the segments in each of the content streams are offset in time relative to corresponding segments in the other ones of the streams. For example, generating the multiple content streams may comprise segmenting n content streams such that each content stream comprises segments of length Ts with corresponding segments in adjacent ones of the content streams being offset from one another by an offset Tg. Such an arrangement ensures that latency shift upon switching between one of the content streams and another content stream in a different set of multiple content streams at a client device can be limited to a value approximated by Tg.

The method generates a CRISP score by applying the determined weightage of each of the set of predetermined CRISP categories in the application inventory data. The method determines respective application fitment scores for each application in the application inventory data based on the generated CRISP score and the historical application cloud migration data.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for improved computational efficiency in systems used to provide content over a network. Hybrid content sourcing is enabled to provide content via a Content Distribution System (CDN) and a centralized service in conjunction with one another via a single URL provided to client devices. A hash map is updated and provided to the client devices to allow a tenant to control and change how content is distributed without needing to modify the applications or multiple content items that are used by the client devices. Tenants are thereby enabled to include or exclude the CDN as an available source of content without disrupting operation of the centralized service or the client devices. Individual content assets or libraries of content assets may thereby be interchangeably provisioned via a single Uniform Resource Locator.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for hierarchichal sharding of flows from sensors to collectors. A first collector can receive a first portion of a network flow from a first capturing agent and determine that a second portion of the network flow was not received from the first capturing agent. The first collector can then send the first portion of the network flow to a second collector. A third collector can receive the second portion of the network flow from a second capturing agent and determine that the third collector did not receive the first portion of the network flow. The third collector can then send the second portion of the network flow to the second collector. The second collector can then aggregate the first portion and second portion of the network flow to yield the entire portion of the network flow.

In one embodiment, allocation is periodically evaluated to determine if reassignment to another data center is needed.

Abstract: Resource limited devices may be provided with a communications module enabling the resource limited device to communicate with a more powerful user computing system using a personal area networking protocol. The communications with the user computing system may be used to configure the resource limited device and/or its communications module to communicate with a remote computing system using a local or wide area networking protocol. This technology may shift processing functions that cannot be performed by resource-limited processors of the electronic device to more powerful computing systems, including, but not limited to cloud based systems. Bridges may also coordinate communications between multiple resource limited devices and the more powerful computing systems. Shifting these processing functions to more powerful computing systems may avoid the need for device manufacturers to include more expensive processors and may reduce device manufacturing costs. Devices and methods are provided.

Abstract: For message delivery in a communication network, message processing is monitored, including processing of a first message by subscribers of a network application that provides messaging services via the communication network. A group activity level is determined for processing of the first message by ones of the subscribers who belong to a first group of persons. The determined group activity level is compared to a threshold activity level for the group. Responsive to the determined group activity level exceeding the threshold activity level, a notification about the message is sent via the communication network for a subscriber who belongs to the first group and has not processed the first message.

Abstract: A secure messaging system identifies sensitive or restricted content within electronic messages such as E-mail, SMS or MMS text messages, or social network messages, and stores files including such content in a secure folder or bucket. After a first electronic message is identified as including sensitive or restricted content, a file including the sensitive or restricted content is stored in the secure folder or bucket, and a second electronic message including a link to the file or the secure folder or bucket is sent to each of the intended recipients of the first electronic message. When a recipient selects the link, the sensitive or restricted content is provided to the recipient over a secure connection (e.g., an SSL connection) rather than via E-mail. Additionally, recipients of the second electronic message may be authenticated by any method, e.g., an access policy and/or a single or multi-level authentication process.
