  • Patent number: 11269819
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for enabling a dynamic management of a multi-tenant distributed database. According to certain aspects, a management module supports an interface that enables a customer to configure one or more consistency models for a service to be supported by the distributed database. The management module may determine computing resources within the distributed database that are needed to support the service according to the configured consistency model(s), and may instantiate the computing resources for testing and development of the service by the customer.

  • Patent number: 10649963
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for enabling dynamic reallocation of resources in a multi-tenant distributed database. According to certain aspects, a management services module allocates multiple portions of computer resources for respective operation of multiple services by multiple customers. A quality of service (QoS) controller detects that one of the services is attempting to exceed its allocated portion of resources, and identifies an available portion of another allocated portion of resources. In response, the QoS controller causes the management services module to dynamically allocate the available portion to the detected service so that the detected service is able to operate without error or delay.

  • Patent number: 10257027
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a system and method to manage a configuration of a plurality of content switching devices in a networked system by generating a first configuration data file and translating the first configuration data file into one or more device specific configuration data files. Each device specific configuration data file corresponds to a device type of the plurality of content switching devices. Some embodiments of the system and method then communicate the one or more device specific configuration data files to each of the plurality of content switching devices of a corresponding device type to configure each content switching device. Other systems and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9851911
    Abstract: A system and method for data storage. The method can include: identifying, by a computer processor, a cluster map representing a set of storage resources; for each storage resource of the set of storage resources: traversing, by the computer processor, the cluster map to map the storage resource to a candidate resource set including at least one other storage resource of the set of storage resources; identifying a first data object associated with a storage request; identifying a first candidate resource set based on the first data object; and selecting a first final resource set based at least on the first candidate resource set, where the first data object is sent to storage resources of the first final resource set for storage.
