  • Patent number: 11841951
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for remotely supporting managed hardware components of an IHS (Information Handling System). Prior to booting an operating system of the IHS, the managed hardware components are enumerated as supporting remote management and a network stack is created in a secured IHS memory, where the network stack is for transfer of remote device management communications directed at the managed hardware components. Still prior to booting the operating system, the IHS chipset is configured to route device management messages received from remote management tools to the network stack. After booting the operating system, a secure remote management session is established between a remote management tool and an IHS device management agent. During operation of the device management agent in the booted operating system, device management messages are retrieved from the network stack and decoded device management messages are delivered to a managed hardware component.

  • Patent number: 11843524
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein direct an end device to a multi-access edge computing (MEC) service instance among MEC instances with different service levels for different geographic areas. A network device stores a map of a geographic area with unique identifiable regions (UIRs) that each include cells for different wireless stations of a transport network. The network device receives application parameters, for a designated coverage area, for an application to be serviced using MEC resources. The network device associates the designated coverage area with one or more target UIRs from the map and deploys, when the MEC resources are available to support the application parameters, an instance of the application at a MEC cluster. The deployed instance of the application meets the application parameters for the target UIRs. The network device updates a MEC-domain name service (DNS) for the deployed instance of the application at the MEC cluster.

  • Patent number: 11805003
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network assurance service that monitors a network detects an anomaly in the network by applying an anomaly detector to telemetry data collected from the network. The service sends first data to a user interface that causes the interface to present the detected anomaly and one or more candidate root cause metrics from the telemetry data associated with the detected anomaly. The service receives feedback regarding the candidate root cause metric(s) and learns a root cause of the anomaly as one or more thresholds of the candidate root cause metric(s), based in part on the received feedback regarding the candidate root cause metric(s). The service sends second data to the user interface that causes the user interface to present at least one of the candidate root cause metric(s) as a candidate root cause of a subsequent detected anomaly, based on the learned threshold(s).
