Abstract: A system and method for efficiently replacing clients running a large scale application uses a pool of clients, which includes a group of active clients running the large scale application and at least one standby client. When a particular active client is identified to be replaced, one of the at least one standby client is selected as a replacement client for the particular active client. The particular active client is replaced with the selected replacement client with respect to the running of the large scale application such that the particular client is removed from the group of active clients and the selected replacement client is added to the group of active clients.

Abstract: A storage system includes a communication fabric, a storage module, a client device having an object descriptor (OD) generator to generate object descriptors (ODs) to access data stored in storage devices of the storage module. The storage system further includes a first control module (CM) coupled to the client device and the storage module via the communication fabric to manage accesses of the storage module. The first CM is adapted to receive a request from client device to access a data object stored in the storage module, where the request includes an OD uniquely identifying the data object and created by the OD generator of the client device. In response, the first CM examines a first object descriptor table (ODT) associated with the first CM to determine whether the OD is valid, and if the OD is valid allows the storage module to service the request.

Abstract: A computing system may be configured to store a master session context of a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) session, and a queue of HTTP transactions. A middleware module of the computing system may be executable by the processor to: (i) select a first HTTP transaction from the queue, (ii) execute an exclusive phase of the first HTTP transaction, including copying the master session context into a first local session context, (iii) cause a web server to execute a non-exclusive phase of the first HTTP transaction using a first thread and the first local session context, (iv) select a second HTTP transaction from the queue, and (v) execute an exclusive phase of the second HTTP transaction, including copying the master session context into a second local session context. Execution of the exclusive phase of the second HTTP transaction and the execution of the non-exclusive phase of the first HTTP transaction occur concurrently.

Abstract: An approach is provided for generating a delayed network service response for a plurality of network service requests using a natural language processing analysis to identify a plurality of parameters associated with a received first network service request and start, upon receipt of the first network service request, a configurable delay timer having a duration that is controlled by the plurality of parameters so that equivalent network service requests from users that are received before expiration of the configurable delay timer may be identified and serviced by generating a network service response in response to the first network service request without generating a network service response to the one or more equivalent network service requests such that the network service response is sent to the first user and to the one or more users after expiration of the configurable delay timer.

Abstract: A method for performing network access filtering and/or categorization through guest introspection on a device data compute node (DCN) that executes on a host is provided. The method, through a guest introspector installed on the DCN, intercepts a data message that the DCN is preparing to send. The method identifies a category of the network resource. The method uses the category of the network resource to examine a set of network access policies that are stored on the host in order to determine whether the network access should be allowed. The method identifies a network access policy that requires the rejection of the network access when the access to the network resource causes an aggregate bandwidth for accessing the identified category of network resource to exceed a bandwidth threshold. The method rejects the network access based on the identified network access policy.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for sharing data in a cloud are provided. A request for accessing data associated with a first entity is generated. A sharing policy associated with the first entity is accessed. Access to a portion of the data is provided based on at least one parameter contained within the sharing policy. The access to the portion of the data is provided using at least one integrated view.

Abstract: An atomic multiple-file upload from a client to a server requires only a single Java Server Faces (JSF) lifecycle to process the multiple files uploaded. Progress and other upload status indicators are displayed at the client and individual files can be deleted, canceled or added prior to committing the multiple-file upload at the server.

Abstract: A mailbox data storage mechanism for a remote device in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning environment. The mechanism, as a part of a gateway device and acting as a citizen of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning environment, may collect system information regularly and maintain a copy of the latest data locally which can be a response to external access requests in time at any moment. The mechanism may limit the latency for external access and improve user experience. The mechanism may help satisfy multiple interfaces.

Abstract: A default mode of operation for a link is set at a server upon initialization. A wait pulse repetition time and number of supported modes of operation are set at the server. A protocol identifier is set to the default mode. A link initialization frame including the protocol identifier is transmitted to a port of a switch. Based on failing to receive a handshake response to acknowledge successful decoding of the protocol identifier from the switch prior to expiration of the wait pulse repetition time: the protocol identifier is changed to a next mode of operation, the wait pulse repetition time is reset, and the link initialization frame is transmitted to the port of the switch. Changing the protocol identifier, resetting the wait pulse repetition time, and transmitting the link initialization frame are repeated until the handshake response is received or all supported modes of operation are checked.
