  • Publication number: 20230308984
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to manage, control, and configure connectivity for vehicles or other devices. Data in different formats, which is received from different connectivity providers, is converted into a unified data format and stored in a data store. The unified data format allows analytics to be performed across the converted data. In some embodiments, a connectivity type of a plurality of connectivity types associated with a vehicle is controlled based on a current lifecycle stage of the vehicle. In some embodiments, a first data connection between a device and a first connectivity provider is utilized. Based on an identified change in location of the device and information associated with a second data connection between the device and a second connectivity provider, a switch to the second data connection is facilitated based on a determination that the second data connection has more optimal characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20220083556
    Abstract: Systems and methods of improving the functioning of a streaming platform system by managing database change stream offsets using a time series database are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a computer system retrieves an offset value from a plurality of offset values stored in a time series database, with the plurality of offset values being indexed in the time series database in time order, and the retrieved offset value being retrieved using a time parameter, and then the computer system transmits a data request to a stream-processing platform, with the data request comprising the retrieved offset value, and the data request being operable to retrieve a data record stored in association with the retrieved offset value in a storage layer of the stream-processing platform using the offset value.

  • Patent number: 10817343
    Abstract: A provisioning machine may receive a request that an application be executed while distributed according to a distribution constraint among various devices. The provisioning machine may access a topological model that represents multiple devices configured as a single cloud-based application server and defines a first group of devices that have the same redundancy status (e.g., active or backup). In addition, the topological model may define a second group of devices that have the same functional role (e.g., executing a particular component of the application). A device may be a member of both the first group and the second group. The provisioning machine may determine a size of the first group according to the distribution constraint. Based on the determined size of the first group, the provisioning machine may configure (e.g., provision) the first group of devices as a subset of the multiple devices of the server.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20180225385
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing network traffic routing are described. The system receives network traffic from external-facing load balancers at a gateway of a distributed network application. The network traffic includes one or more data requests. The system inspects a data request of the one or more data requests to determine a context of the data request. The system routes the network traffic from the external-facing load balancers to the gateway based on a geographic location of an origin of the network traffic. Finally, the system routes, based on the context of the data request corresponding to data stored at a database, the data request from the gateway to a first internal-facing load balancer of a plurality of internal-facing load balancers associated with a first application server of a plurality of application servers having a closest geographic proximity to the database.
