  • Patent number: 11740831
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for storage optimization for event streaming for multiple consumers. The method provides an entire event stream for storage in a first tier storage and dynamically determines advance portions of the event stream for at least some of the consumers based on a consumer's position index in the event stream. The advance portions are portions of the event stream that will be consumed next by the consumer and the method provides the advance portions of the event stream for storage in second tier storage that has a higher performance than the first tier storage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 11, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2023
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Patent number: 11356440
    Abstract: Automated registration of one or more IoT devices seeking connection to one or more IoT platforms using a secure provisioning service. The secured provisioning service verifies and administers connection credentials to each IoT device, ensuring legitimate devices cannot be impersonated or controlled by unauthorized personnel. The provisioning service matches the IoT devices and metadata of each IoT device to the provisioning rules. Connection credentials and/or rules defining each IoT device's access to IoT platforms are based on the provisioning rules of the rules registry. Matching each IoT device to one or more provisioning rules offers flexibility to dynamically add, delete or amend one or more rules in a complex rules-based system, allowing for automatic updates to the connection credentials of each IoT device, wherein each IoT device can be provisioned or re-provisioned using the most up to date set of new or amended rules.
