  • Fault resistant 24×7 topology for business process management ecosystem
    Patent number: 10402191
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for providing a load-balanced server architecture to end users and allowing software on the server architecture to be updated without downtime during a transition to the new software version. Run-time errors due to incompatibilities between datatypes, interfaces, deserialization methods, and classes loaded by class loaders in object oriented server software may be avoided by using the system to track a software version used in association with a particular task. By routing requests related to a particular task to a particular server running the same software version, compatibility is maintained and efforts to migrate data across software servers or add code to handle cross-version compatibility are unnecessary.

  • Trading anomaly kill switch
    Patent number: 10169816
    Abstract: A system that can detect when abnormal trading activity is occurring and take action to halt the detected abnormal trading activity without human intervention using a computer-implemented anomaly detection and action stage that performs an exponential weighted averaging of trade order flow, on a per symbol basis within a sliding volume based window and a volume based exponential weighted averaging, on a per symbol basis, on trade update messages received during the sliding volume based window and checks for an inflection in covariance between them. A related method is also described.

  • Topology aware distributed storage system
    Patent number: 10019452
    Abstract: A topology aware distributed storage system includes a plurality of storage nodes, at least one client node, and a storage manager and metadata store. A user-defined storage policy specifies where data is stored within a topological hierarchy of nodes within the network. A hierarchical ring topology including a hierarchical structure of rings representing an organizational structure of nodes is computed and flattened into a single global ring divided into segments corresponding to a unique range of integers and associated with a replica set responsible for storing a key corresponding to one of the integers. A hash function is performed on a user key received from the client node, and the hashed key is looked up on the flattened global ring stored on each storage node to identify the replica set responsible for storing data corresponding to the hashed key.

  • Passive real-time order state replication and recovery
    Patent number: 9411868
    Abstract: A system and method for passive real-time order state replication and recovery. Upstream data is received from an upstream system via a reliable transport, the upstream data also received by a supported system. Downstream data is received from the supported system via the reliable transport. Data acknowledgements are received from the supported system acknowledging receipt of the upstream and downstream data. A replicated current order state of the supported system is continuously updated in real-time based on the received upstream data, downstream data and the data acknowledgements. A recovery request is received after the supported system has experienced an outage. The current order state is restored to the supported system by transmitting a recovery message to the supported system containing the replicated current order state.
