  • Patent number: 11303550
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for monitoring server utilization and reallocating resources using upper bound values. A device can determine a value indicative of an upper bound of a processing load of a server using data points detected for the processing load over a first range of time. The upper bound can correspond to a percentage of the processing load during the first range of time. The device can monitor, using the value, the processing load of the server over a second range of time. A determination can be made whether the value of the processing load is greater than a threshold during the second range of time. The device can generate an alert for the device responsive to a comparison of the value of the processing load to the threshold.

  • Patent number: 11290569
    Abstract: An information exchange platform receives a file from a client system and processes the file for delivery to a trading partner (TP) of the client system. The TP does not need to be a client of the information exchange platform. So long as the file has some identifying information such as an email address that uniquely identifies the TP within a custom solution for the client system, the information exchange platform can automatically and programmatically provision the TP. An auto-provisioning subsystem is operable to create and/or configure information needed to complete the processing of the file just in time, including creating a legal entity and a routing address for the TP. When completed, the file is processed into a deliverable, which is then provided for delivery to the TP just in time as the file is received from the client system.

  • Patent number: 11290565
    Abstract: Requests for data can be distributed among servers based on indicators of intent to access the data. For example, a kernel of a client device can receive a message from a software application. The message can indicate that the software application intends to access data at a future point in time. The kernel can transmit an electronic communication associated with the message to multiple servers. The kernel can receive a response to the electronic communication from a server of the multiple servers. Based on the response and prior to receiving a future request for the data from the software application, the kernel can select the server from among the multiple servers as a destination for the future request for the data.
