  • Patent number: 11397739
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for identifying IT service compositions corresponding to subsets of a set R of IT service requirements. Such a method includes providing a data structure including, for a set S of IT services, a master graph having master nodes representing respective subsets of like services in S, interconnected by master edges each representing an integration-need between nodes interconnected by that edge. The method further comprises, for each service composition being a set of services, integrated by integration components and spanning all master nodes, in the composition subgraph, comparing the composite attributes of services and integration components in that composition with the requirements in R? to select at least one preferred service composition for R?, and outputting composition data defining each preferred service composition.

  • Patent number: 11314734
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and wired and wireless network communications to provide an interface between repositories of disparate datasets and computing machine-based entities that seek access to the datasets, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that facilitates consolidation of one or more datasets, whereby a collaborative data layer and associated logic facilitate, for example, efficient access to, and implementation of, collaborative datasets. In some examples, a method may include receiving data representing a query of a consolidated dataset that may include datasets formatted atomized datasets, analyzing the query to classify portions of the query to form classified query portions, partitioning the query into sub-queries as a function of a classification type for each of the classified query portions, and retrieving data representing a query result from distributed data repositories.

  • Patent number: 11314599
    Abstract: Techniques perform data backup. Such techniques involve: in response to a first storage node to be switched to a second storage node, determining whether there is an ongoing data backup operation between the first storage node and a third storage node; and in response to the ongoing data backup operation between the first and third storage nodes, ceasing the data backup operation. The second storage node is used for backing up data of the first storage node in real time and the third storage node is used for backing up the data of the first storage node periodically. Accordingly, colliding operations can be prevented, system resource can be saved and processing efficiency can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11256702
    Abstract: A data analytics system configured to perform operations is disclosed. The operations can include creating, in response to instructions received from a user, a first pipeline. This pipeline can be configured to extract data from an append-only first data store, extract identifying characteristics from the extracted data, provide the identifying characteristics to an identity service, and receive a tenancy identifier from the identity service. The pipeline can further be configured to create a data object in a second data store using the extracted data; create a tenancy object in a metadata store, the tenancy object associated with the data object, the metadata store implementing a hierarchical data object ownership graph; and associate the tenancy object with a parent object in the hierarchical data object ownership graph. The data analytics system can then tear down the first pipeline.
