  • Patent number: 11570176
    Abstract: A system for prioritizing a plurality of requests received from a plurality of clients is disclosed. The system receives the plurality of requests. For each request from the plurality of requests, the system extracts features of the request, where the extracted features provide information regarding a priority in performing the request. The extracted features correspond to a numerical representation of the request, such that if a priority level associated with the request is high the numerical representation comprises higher numerical values compared to another request that is associated with a low priority level. The system determines a prioritization in performing the plurality of requests by ranking a plurality of extracted features representing the plurality of requests based on ranking numerical values associated with the plurality of extracted features.

  • Patent number: 11537809
    Abstract: In an approach for optimally grouping containers, a processor passively monitors a set of parameters for a set of containers within a network. A processor records the set of parameters for each container of the set of containers. A processor deploys a k-nearest neighbor neural network (KNN) to determine a first set of groupings of the set of containers based on the set of parameters. A processor simulates the network having grouped containers based on the first set of groupings of the set of containers output by the KNN. A processor simulates an action on the set of containers. A processor updates a reward function based on the action. A processor determines whether a maximum value of the reward function is reached.

  • Patent number: 11533289
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for rewriting an URL in a message transmitted via a clientless SSL VPN session. An intermediary device may identify, in a HTTP response transmitted via the session, an absolute URL that includes a hostname of the server. The device may determine that the absolute URL includes an intranet domain name. The device may generate, responsive to the determination, a URL segment by combining a unique string corresponding to the hostname of the server, with a hostname of the device. The device may rewrite, responsive to the determination, the absolute URL by replacing the server hostname in the absolute URL with the generated URL segment. A DNS server for the client may be configured with a DNS entry comprising a wildcard combined with the device hostname, to cause the DNS server to resolve the rewritten absolute URL to an IP address of the device.

  • Patent number: 11509531
    Abstract: A command and response messaging mechanism for use between nodes of a homogeneous data grid can allow a configuration state to be quickly provisioned to the nodes of a cluster at run time for an application running on the data grid. For example, a processing device of a node can receive a global configuration state from a peer node in the grid network. The processing device can apply common values for symmetrical attributes from the global configuration state to a local configuration. The processing device can also apply individual node values for asymmetrical attributes from the global configuration state to the local configuration. The processing device can then run the application on the local node using the local configuration.

  • Patent number: 11509729
    Abstract: Service management incident data stored in a normalized format on a database is accessed from a hosted client instance responsive a REST API call by a client application on a mobile device in an online database session in an online mode between the hosted client instance and the client application. Responsive to an indication of the client application operating in offline mode, a batch request is executed on the database to generate a payload corresponding to a subset of the data, the payload having a denormalized format that is optimized for transmission to the mobile device and caching onto a local database on the mobile device for access in offline mode. Data from the cached subset of data stored on the local database is accessible by the mobile device in a simulated database session in the offline mode between the client application and the local database via a simulation API.
