Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for re-deploying metadata and it's associated data from a source organization to a destination organization of a cloud-based computing environment. After metadata that is to be retrieved from the source organization is selected, a metadata engine can automatically create a manifest file that comprises the selected metadata that is to be retrieved. The manifest file can then be stored at secure file storage for re-deployment. A data engine can then automatically retrieve data associated with the selected metadata based, for example, on objects specified in the selected metadata. This data can be automatically saved and stored at a secured database for re-deployment. Thereafter, both the manifest file and the data associated with the selected metadata can be re-deployed to the destination organization.

Abstract: Within one or more instances of a computing environment where an instance is a self-contained architecture to provide at least one database with corresponding search and file system. User information from the one or more instances of the computing environment is organized as zones. A zone is based on one or more characteristics of corresponding user information that are different than the instance to which the user information belongs. User information is selectively obfuscated prior to transmitting blocks of data including the obfuscated user information. The selective obfuscation is based on zone information for one or more zones to which the user information belongs.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to automated compliance with data privacy laws of varying jurisdictions. In particular, it relates to constructing trust filters that automatically restrict collection, use, processing, transfer, or consumption of any person-related data that do not meet the data privacy regulations of the applicable jurisdictions. The trust filters are constructed dependent on associating person-related data entities with trust objects that track person-related data sources.

Abstract: The disclosed technology offers methods of updating a data cube of samples and a display on a client device with a processor. The method provides GUI clients to computer devices; receives initial reports of sample values organized by sampled computing device and sampled aspect of operations, and identified by group membership and super-group membership; receives, from the devices, samples that update reports of sampled aspects of operations; and pushes updated reports to the GUI clients. The GUI clients calculate and update group and super-group aggregate operational status; and display a hierarchical representation of the aggregate operational status of the super-groups and groups and of the operational status of the computing devices, based on the sample values, in real or near real time, as received samples reach the clients. The operator viewing the display of the hierarchical representation is notified of operational aspects that require close monitoring or immediate remedial attention.

Abstract: An intelligent transcription and automated record generation system and method are provided in which a record identification module can identify a record in a customer relationship management (CRM) database that is relevant to a call, and a voice recognition and transcription engine can process audio information from the call and transcribe voice data from the call to generate transcribed voice data. The calling party can be one or more of a caller who is making a call and a callee that is receiving the call. A record updater module can then automatically modify the record to include at least part of the transcribed voice data, and automatically add the modified record to the CRM database.

Abstract: Pooled virtual machine resources are described. A system determines whether a number of virtual machine resources that are in a pool is less than a specified number. The system creates a calculated number of virtual machine resources for the pool if the number of virtual machine resources that are in the pool is less than the specified number, the calculated number being equal to the specified number minus the number of virtual machine resources that are in the pool. The system receives a request to create a virtual machine environment that requires at least one virtual machine resource. The system allocates a virtual machine resource from the pool to the virtual machine environment.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for evaluating standing queries against updated contact entries configured as a stream of facts. The method includes resolving the standing queries into an array of rules, each rule having a first and a second condition; sorting one of the facts into a first property and a second property; comparing the first property of the fact to the first condition of each rule in the array of rules to produce a first subset of matching rules; comparing the second property of the fact to the second condition of each rule in the first subset of rules to produce a second subset of matching rules; and reporting at least one of the second subset of rules to an author of the matching rule. The method further includes populating a first hash with indicia of the first subset, and populating a second hash with the second subset.
