  • Patent number: 12210428
    Abstract: Techniques for determining an availability of a data center, DC, to one or more computing entities external to the DC are described. A DC may, for example, operate one or more applications which are controllable by one or more external computing entities. Disclosed techniques include determining a first status of a first set of one or more communications connections between the DC and a second DC, and a second status of a second set of one or more communications connections between the DC and a third DC. Disclosed techniques include determining an indication of the availability of the DC based on the first status and the second status. Disclosed techniques may involve taking an action responsive to determining that the DC is unavailable, for example, causing applications running at the DC to operate in a disaster recovery mode, and/or failing over functionality of the DC to a failover DC.

  • Patent number: 12155684
    Abstract: Embodiments for generating user customized alert notifications for application operations and activities based on monitored performance metrics. Key performance indicators for the application and user behavior are defined, and a monitor process collects behavior statistics of the application for each user with respect to data assets for each of the key performance indicators. Anomaly detection policies are provided to define anomalous behavior of the users with respect to data assets of the computer network. An anomaly detection process detects anomalous user behavior and an alert notification is sent to administrative or security personnel upon each detected instance of abnormal user behavior. The alert notification rules are defined by the user based on operation severity, asset type, operation, and defined metrics to tailor and minimize the number of alerts sent to the user.

  • Patent number: 12147297
    Abstract: A memory address generation device for a test mode comprises row and column address random number counters and a control unit. The row address random number counter receives a counting signal to update a first count value, generates a row address random number based on the first count value, and outputs a row address to the memory. The column address random number counter receives the counting signal to update a second count value, generates a column address random number based on the second count value, and outputs a column address to the memory. The control unit controls the test mode and sets the first/second count value. A difference value between the currently and previously generated row addresses is greater than or equal to 2, and a difference value between the currently and previously generated column addresses is greater than or equal to 2.

  • Patent number: 12135632
    Abstract: A control loop for scaling cloud-based agents in a cluster includes a controller and a feedback signal. The controller may be a proportional-integral controller, or a proportional-integral-derivative controller. The controller may calculate a control variable based on a target number of idle agents for the cluster. The controller receives a target number of idle agents, as well as a current number of idle agents in a cluster. The controller computes the control variable based on the error between the target and current numbers of idle agents, and an integral of the error over time.

  • Patent number: 12099417
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include and depend on the operation of hardware and/or software components. To manage the operation of the data processing system, a data processing system manager may obtain logs for components of the data processing system. The logs may record information that describe and reflect the historical and/or current operation of these components. Inference models may be implemented to predict likely future component failures (e.g., a predicted mean time to first failure (MTFF) of the components) using information recorded in the logs and component specification information from component vendors. The likely future component failures may be analyzed to reduce the likelihood of the data processing system becoming impaired.

  • Patent number: 12093142
    Abstract: In failover processing, a CPU restores data stored in a first volume to a second volume of a storage system, associates a unique ID of the first volume with the second volume, and stores the unique ID associated therewith in a memory. After the failover processing is completed, the CPU manages an update difference management bitmap indicating an updated content with respect to data stored in the second volume. The CPU transmits, in failback processing, update data updated after the failover processing among the data stored in the second volume to the first volume identified by the unique ID associated with the second volume based on the update difference management bitmap.

  • Patent number: 12079159
    Abstract: A radiation-hardened (rad-hard) computing system can include a rad-hard processor, a second processor, and a memory operably coupled to the rad-hard processor. The rad-hard processor can cause the second processor to execute compute-intensive tasks that can be performed more quickly or with fewer computing resources by the second processor than the rad-hard processor. The rad-hard processor can selectively cause the second processor to execute a compute-intensive task based upon determining that the second processor is in a normal operating state. The rad-hard processor can further evaluate computing results generate by the second processor to determine whether such computing results meet an applicable acceptability condition. The rad-hard processor can employ a computing result that meets an applicable acceptability condition in further computing operations.
