Abstract: Network devices can be registered to access a network using known host devices to thereby simplify the device registration process. The host device can be an administrator's device that is already registered and authorized to vouch for another user desiring to register his or her device. Alternatively, the host device can be the user's previously registered device and can be used to register the user's additional devices.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes selecting a group of transactions having a common end-to-end transaction path comprising a plurality of transaction-path nodes. Each transaction of the group is associated with either an acceptable category or an unacceptable category based, at least in part, on an end-to-end response time for the transaction. The method further includes separately determining, for each transaction-path node, an execution-time pair. The execution-time pair includes first aggregate information indicative of execution time by the transaction-path node for transactions associated with the acceptable category. The execution-time pair also includes second aggregate information indicative of execution time by the transaction-path node for transactions associated with the unacceptable category. Additionally, the method includes generating a visualization of the end-to-end transaction path.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for migrating links in documents are described. For example, during a migration process, a first document may be selected to be migrated from a source document database. A determination may be made that the first document includes a link to a second document. The first document may be migrated to a target document database. The second document may be selected to be migrated from the source document database. The second document may be migrated to the target document database. The link in the first document may be finalized to include an address of the second document in the target document database.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for collecting and transmitting diagnostics information via a diagnostic information operation. The diagnostic information operation begins with a system periodically writing diagnostic information such as diagnostic errors and warnings to non-volatile local storage contained within the system. Upon detection of a failure, the user activates an NFC-enabled device (such as a mobile device) and positions the NFC-enabled device within NFC range of the failed system. The failed system then communicates the diagnostic information stored within the non-volatile local storage to NFC-enabled device.

Abstract: A common backup and recovery solution is provided for diverse cloud-based services in a productivity suite. The common backup and recovery solution can be configured to interface with an API platform that is associated with the productivity suite to thereby retrieve text-based data that identifies content of the diverse cloud-based services. The common backup and recovery solution can create a backup of the content by storing the text-based data. The common backup and recovery solution can also employ the text-based data to identify and obtain files that form part of the content and then store the files as part of the backup with the text-based data. To perform a recovery, the common backup and recovery solution can employ the text-based data of the backup and content of the files in the backup to send requests to the API platform that will cause the content to be restored.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are provided for migrating data blocks around a cluster during node addition and node deletion. Migration requires no downtime, as a newly added node is immediately operational while the data blocks are being moved. Blockmap files and deduplication dictionaries need not be updated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for creating collections of associated accounts for a migration process. An example system includes a processing device and memory that stores accounts in accordance with a first email, identity or file domain. The processing device may create a collection of related accounts stored in accordance with a first email, identity or file domain based on active directory information of the stored accounts and may migrate information included in the collection of accounts into a second email, identity or file domain. The collection includes one or more first-level accounts that are identified as having a relationship with a predefined root account based on a delegation attribute.

Abstract: A network-based solution for automatically processing large email attachments or other files during migration between email platforms or other platforms, as may be embodied by various systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media, may involve downloading mailboxes from a source email platform and inspecting the mailboxes for emails containing attachment files. The solution may involve determining a file size of any detected attachment, comparing the file size of the detected attachment file to a predetermined attachment size limit, and uploading a copy of the detected attachment to a storage server for storage when the comparison determines that the file size of the detected attachment file exceeds the predetermined attachment size limit. The solution may further include modifying the email by replacing the detected attachment with a link to the copy of the detected attachment stored at the storage server and then migrating the modified email to the target email platform.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, on a monitoring system, maintaining hot-cluster data. The hot-cluster data includes identification of at least one hot cluster. The at least one hot cluster includes at least one hot-cluster remote node and is served by two or more hot-cluster networking devices. The method further includes selecting a monitoring request and transmitting the monitoring request to the two or more hot-cluster networking devices as a passive request. Via the passive request, the two or more hot-cluster networking devices are instructed to: not forward the monitoring request to the at least one hot-cluster remote node until a control request is received from a communicably separate control system; and upon receipt of the control request, transmit the monitoring request and the control request to the at least one hot-cluster remote node together as a piggy-back request.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a data source, time-series data of a time-series data stream produced by the data source. The method further includes identifying a target compression algorithm for the time-series data, wherein the target compression algorithm is linked to the data source in memory pursuant to a dynamically-variable assignment. The method also includes compressing the time-series data using the target compression algorithm and transmitting the compressed time-series data to a destination. Furthermore the method includes periodically optimizing the dynamically-variable assignment in real-time as the time-series data is received.

Abstract: JDBC-X, which is distributed database driver middleware, can extend the JDBC API to facilitate integrating an application with a distributed database. JDBC-X functions as an intermediary between the JDBC API and the JDBC drivers and provides a number of components that adapt JDBC SQL queries and corresponding result sets in a manner that is substantially transparent to the application. In this way, an application that was originally designed to access a relational database can be seamlessly converted to accessing a distributed database. Similarly, JDBC-X allows an application to employ a distributed database that is dynamically provisioned without needing to be aware of the current structure of the database.

In such configurations, the initial configuration can include preferred target servers for a particular task. The computing device can request batches of data from the preferred target servers, and process the information through a buffer. Techniques and technologies described herein collect the batches of data from servers as well as corresponding data collection statistics (e.g., server performance per task, server historical performance, etc.) and server performance data (e.g. server status).

Abstract: Techniques and systems for restoring objects from a backup file without restoring a remainder of the backup file are described. For example, a plurality of object identifiers that identify a plurality of objects stored in the backup file may be determined. A selection of an object identifier of the plurality of object identifiers may be received. A set of objects to be restored from the backup file may be determined based on the object identifier. The set of objects may be granularly restored to a staging database directly from the backup file, without restoring a remainder of the backup file. The set of objects may be migrated from the staging database to a production database.

Abstract: In general, certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques or mechanisms for creating efficient and consistent replication of file overwrites. According to various embodiments, a file map with a sequence file number is created for a data file on a source. The file map includes one or more nodes that each include a sequence node number. When an entry in the file map is changed, the sequence file number is incremented, and the corresponding node is updated by, among other things, setting the sequence node number to equal the current sequence file number. All other nodes in the file map that point to the updated node are similarly updated. When replication occurs, only the updated nodes in the file map are replicated and any unreplicated non-updated nodes are maintained.
