Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to escalation of feedback instances. In one aspect disclosed herein, a feedback instance escalation resolver (“FIER”) system can receive a feedback instance escalation request from an original feedback instance. The feedback instance escalation request can identify a deficiency in the original feedback instance. The FIER system can examine the feedback instance escalation request and an objective of the original feedback instance to identify a new objective of an escalated feedback instance. The FIER system can create a definition for the escalated feedback instance to satisfy the objective and can map the definition for the escalated feedback instance to an existing feedback instance model. The FIER system can generate a feedback instance escalation realization request directed to a feedback instance orchestrator and controller (“FIOC”) system.

Abstract: A method with a computer generating a first set of access requests regarding a first set of encoded data slices and storage units of a dispersed storage network. A first data segment is encoded into the first set of encoded data slices. The method continues with the computer generating a second set of access requests regarding a second set of encoded data slices and the storage units. A second data segment is encoded into the second set of encoded data slices. The method continues with the computer grouping the first set of access requests and the second set of access requests to produce a set of combined requests. The method continues with the computer sending the set of combined requests to the storage units.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for aggregation and management of cloud storage to leverage processing provided by a cloud provider with aggregation of cloud storage services. Files may be pipelined to the processing provider and then resynchronized to an alternate storage service, with processing or metadata retained. In one implementation, files may be provided for processing, retrieved, and then separately provided for storage. In another implementation, files may be simultaneously provided for processing and storage at different cloud storage providers. After processing, the metadata of the file may be retrieved, and the file deleted from storage of the processing provider. The metadata may be synchronized with the stored file, or may be retained in metadata storage and retrieved by the client device during synchronization or file retrieval operations.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for searching for a data stream dividing point based on a server. In the embodiments of the present invention, a data stream dividing point is searched for by determining whether at least a part of data in a window of M windows meets a preset condition, and when the at least a part of data in the window does not meet the preset condition, a length of N*U is skipped, so as to obtain a next potential dividing point, thereby improving efficiency of searching for a data stream dividing point.

Abstract: A system configured to perform operations to receive, via a network communication interface, an indication of a power event occurring at a first device. The first device is for an online identity. The power event causes the first device to switch from an external power source to an internal battery. The first device represents that the online identity is online while the first device receives power from the internal battery. The system is further configured to perform operations to hold, at a second device, at least one status update for an online contact of the online identity while the first device receives power from the internal battery. Furthermore, the system is configured to perform operations to release, for transmission to the first device, the at least one status update in response to determining that the first device switches back to the external power source.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering fractions of content to user devices before the content is selected or requested (e.g., a pre-delivery of content) are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods receive an indication that content is available for pre-delivery from a content server to a user device over a network, determine a fraction (e.g., size) of the content available for pre-delivery that satisfies one or more predicted content playback conditions, and causes the determined fraction of the content available for pre-delivery to be delivered to the user device.

Abstract: A technique for communicating with multiple Converged IT Infrastructures (CITIs) includes accessing any CITI that is part of a group of multiple CITIs by accessing a single CITI within the group. In an example, each CITI has a representative converged infrastructure coordinator (CIC), which stores information about the respective CITI. When any CITI in the group receives a request from a client for information about any other CITI in the group, the CIC of the CITI receiving the request contacts the CIC of the other CITI and obtains the requested information about the other CITI from its CIC. In some examples, the CIC also acts to aggregate, filter, and/or analyze information gathered from multiple CITIs in the group, and thus allows clients to receive processed data pertaining to many CITIs in response to simple commands.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating and accelerating log data processing by splitting data streams are disclosed herein. The front-end clusters generate large amount of log data in real time and transfer the log data to an aggregating cluster. The aggregating cluster is designed to aggregate incoming log data streams from different front-end servers and clusters. The aggregating cluster further splits the log data into a plurality of data streams so that the data streams are sent to a receiving application in parallel. In one embodiment, the log data are randomly split to ensure the log data are evenly distributed in the split data streams. In another embodiment, the application that receives the split data streams determines how to split the log data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for management of resource objects (“resources”) within a computing environment. Resources may be stored in a number of resource spaces, each including service endpoints configured to facilitate access to resources. On creation of a resource, an identifier may be assigned to the resource. Thereafter, the identifier may be used to determine an appropriate service endpoint for accessing the resource. For example, each resource space may submit a set of resolution rules to a resolution server. Each set of resolution rules may be used to identify an appropriate endpoint for accessing a resource. Thereafter, a request for a resource may first retrieve the set of resolution rules, and use such rules to determine an appropriate service endpoint. Illustratively, utilization of resource resolution rules may enable the service endpoint to be modified without requiring modification of client devices.
