Abstract: Systems herein supply hero cards that display contextual information and actions based on backend systems. The information and actions are related to a trigger content item in an application that does not have access to the backend systems. A hero agent running a user device can communicate the trigger content to a hero server. The hero server can determine which connectors to backend systems relate to the user device, and then can retrieve result information from one or more of the backend systems. The result information populates the hero card, which the hero agent displays within the application. Action buttons on the hero card cause the hero agent to contact one or more of the backend systems to cause an action to take place there.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of configuring a resource for network traffic analysis. An agent executed by a computing device receives an indication to record a browsing session. The agent records network activity data of the browsing session. The agent generates a data file with the recording. The agent transmits the data file and a request to generate a report to an analytics server. The analytics server receives the request and extracts the network activity data from the data file. The analytics server applies an event processing protocol to the network activity data. The analytics server generates a report and transmits the report to the client device for display.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for use of a suffix tree to control blocking of blacklisted encrypted domains. A suffix tree includes encrypted hash keys corresponding to a plurality of domain nodes. A domain-related request packet is received, and a target domain name extracted from the packet. A pair of hash keys are generated for the request packet and target domain; and a hash table is searched with the generated hash key pair. If a corresponding entry is found in the hash table, then a corresponding hash suffix pointer is determined for the packet, and the suffix tree examined to determine whether the node identified by the query is part of a blacklisted node. If the suffix tree indicates the node to be part of a blacklisted node, then the system can perform a specified action associated with that node.

Abstract: Improved techniques and systems for storage, delivery and acquisition of digital assets stored in cloud data storage. Cloud data storage can be provided by a cloud data repository that is capable of storing digital data for various users. A given user can access cloud data storage from any of his/her authorized client devices via a network. A given client device can access not only locally stored digital assets but also remotely stored digital assets from cloud data storage. In one embodiment, downloads of digital assets resident in cloud data storage to client devices can be managed in view of available network performance. As one example, digital assets of differing quality levels can be downloaded in a manner dependent on network performance. As another example, locally stored digital assets of reduced quality can be upgraded (e.g., replaced) by higher quality versions in a manner dependent on network performance.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method for accessing a host memory through non-volatile memory over fabric bridging with direct target access. A first memory access command encapsulated in a first network packet is received at a memory interface unit and from a remote direct memory access (RDMA) interface and via a network fabric. The first memory access command is compliant with a first non-volatile memory interface protocol and the first network packet is compliant with a second non-volatile memory interface protocol. The first network packet is unwrapped to obtain the first memory access command. The first memory access command is stored in a work queue using address bits of the work queue as a pre-set index of the first memory access command. The first memory access command is sent from the work queue based on the pre-set index to activate a first target storage device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing input data to and reading output data from one or more owner-specified functions. A function can implement a data manipulation, such as filtering out sensitive data before reading or writing the data. Input data can be provided to the function as an entire object, a stream of objects, or on-demand based on data or portions thereof that the function attempts to access. The function can provide output data as a single instance of output data or a stream of output data regardless of the manner in which input data is provided to the function. The input data can be stored in a staging area that is accessible to the function via a local file system. Similarly, the function can store the output data in a staging area that is accessible to the function via a local file system.

Abstract: Various examples are described for defining automations for client devices enrolled with a management service. A computing environment can cause one or more user interfaces to be shown in a display of an administrator device that include at least one field for generating an automation that includes a trigger, a condition, and an action to automatically be performed when the condition is satisfied. The trigger defines a time at which the management service compares the condition to device profiles generated for client devices enrolled with the management service. The user interface can forecast a number of client devices that will be affected or subject to an automation, and can display results of the automation as it is executed in real time.

Abstract: A system is provided for real time recovery of resource transfers over a distributed server network. In particular, the system may comprise one or more computing systems within a distributed server network, where each computing system may be a node which hosts a copy of a distributed electronic data register. Upon receiving a resource transfer request, the system may, via a system sequence monitor, monitor the various nodes for status updates on the resource transfer. Upon detecting that a node has failed to execute one or more steps in the resource transfer process, a resource transfer restorer may perform a restore process based on the information stored within the distributed data register. The system sequence monitor may further monitor the restore process to ensure the successful completion thereof. In this way, the system may provide instantaneous recovery of failed resource transfers.
