  • Publication number: 20190334780
    Abstract: A system and computer implemented method for optimizing network topology in a network comprises a memory unit to store a set of program modules and a processor to execute the set of program modules. A connection detection module is configured to identify a set of network endpoints connected to a network host via Ethernet connections. Further, an input module identifies at least one datagram among the plurality of datagrams received from the network endpoints. The at least one datagram is received from at least one network interface among the plurality of network interfaces. The input module classifies the at least one network interface into at least one of a compute node and a storage node. An optimizer module optimizes the network host, to function with the at least one network interface in one of a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode.

  • Publication number: 20170336982
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing optimized data replication across cloud storage nodes, the system comprising a cluster of computer system devices. The system comprises one or more memory devices and a plurality of processors. The one or more memory devices, stores a set of program modules. A processor among the plurality of processor executes the set of program modules. The set of program modules comprises an input module and a data transfer module. The input module receives a first instruction to add a first computer system device to the cluster, wherein the first computer system device comprises a first memory device. The data transfer module copies data in at least one memory device in the cluster of computer system devices, to the first memory device, based on number of computer system devices in the cluster being lesser than a predefined number.

  • Publication number: 20170336991
    Abstract: A system and method for classifying storage resources in a cluster of computers comprises one or more memory devices and a plurality of processors. Each memory device among the one or more memory devices stores a set of program modules. At least one processor executes the set of program modules. The set of program modules comprises an input module, a disk speed analyzer module, a disk size analyzer module, and a disk assignment module. The input module receives a first signal. The disk size analyzer module and the disk speed analyzer module determines a data transfer rate and a memory size of the new memory device, and classifies the new memory device. The disk assignment module assigns the new memory device as one of a journal storage unit and a data storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20170300317
    Abstract: A system and method for patching software in a target computer system device, the system comprising at least one memory device to store a set of program modules. At least one processor executes the set of program modules comprising an input module, a data transfer module, and a patching module. The input module receives from a user, an instruction to copy at least one patch bundle into the at least one memory device. The data transfer module, is configured to extract at least one of the hot patch scripts, the hot patch index, and the boot file scripts from the at least one patch bundle. The patching module, implements the hot patch scripts and the boot file scripts on the target computer system device, and records information regarding implementation of the hot patch scripts and the boot file scripts. The information is recorded in the hot patch index.

  • Publication number: 20170300553
    Abstract: A system and method for propagating modifications in key-value pairs across a cluster of computer system devices. The system comprises a cluster of computer system devices, each comprising a memory device and a processor. The memory device stores a set of key-value pairs, associated with a timestamp. The system comprises an input module, configured to receive a first instruction to modify, a first set of key-value pairs, generate a first timestamp for the first set of key-value pairs, and receive a second timestamp associated with a second set of key-value pairs. Further, the system comprises a comparator module, configured to compare the first timestamp with the second timestamp. Moreover, the system comprises a propagation module, to replace key-value pairs in the second set of key-value pairs with key-value pairs in the first set of key-value pairs.
