  • Patent number: 11271804
    Abstract: A networked system may include an HCI component expansion/replacement system that is coupled to an HCI system and that periodically updates an HCI system solution database to identify a validated components for an HCI system platform that includes the HCI system, and validated software for each of the validated components. When the HCI component expansion/replacement system receives a request for a new component type to be provided in the HCI system, existing component information about a plurality of existing components that are included in the HCI system is retrieved and used to identify a first validated component that is identified in the HCI system solution database for the HCI system platform that includes the HCI system. The HCI component expansion/replacement system then provides the first validated software that is identified in the HCI system solution database for the first validated component to the HCI system.

  • Patent number: 11258662
    Abstract: A virtual computer system service receives a request from a customer to provision a dedicated server for the exclusive use of the customer. The dedicated server may be used to launch one or more virtual machine instances. The virtual computer system service subsequently selects, from a pool of available servers, a server that can be dedicated to the customer and that does not have capacity allocated to any other customer. The virtual computer system service may update a database to specify, in an entry corresponding to the selected server, that the server has been dedicated for the exclusive use of the customer. Once the database has been updated, the virtual computer system service will enable the customer to launch a virtual machine instance using the dedicated server.

  • Patent number: 11240180
    Abstract: A message providing device includes: a receiver; and a controller. At least first and second operation modes are operations of a software robot program. The program operates on a service exchanging messages between users. In the first mode, a specific service is executed upon reception of a message or a sticker. In the second mode, the specific service is not executed even if the message or the sticker is received. The receiver receives the message or the sticker from the user. When the received message is a first specific message or the received sticker is a first specific sticker, the controller switches the first mode to the second. When the received message is a second specific message different from the first or the received sticker is a second specific sticker which is different from the first, the controller switches the second mode to the first.

  • Patent number: 11178227
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for the efficient resyncing of stale components of a distributed-computing system. One method includes determining that a first base component at a remote site will go offline. After determining that the first base component at the remote site will go offline, a first delta component is created at the remote site. While the first base component at the remote site is offline, data corresponding to the offline component is collected at the first delta component at the remote site. After collecting data at the first delta component, the collected data is sent to a local site. The method includes determining that the first base component has come back online. In response to determining that the first base component has come back online, the collected data is sent from the first delta component to the first base component via an intra-site network.

  • Patent number: 11165643
    Abstract: Automatic detection and remediation of a noncompliant configuration of an information handling system is disclosed. A determination is made whether a triggering event has occurred that has a potential for degrading compliance of the information handling system. In response to determining that the triggering event has occurred, a configuration scan of the hardware and software of the information handling system is performed to obtain current configuration information. The current configuration information is compared to baseline configuration information that was obtained in response to a previous triggering event. Subsequently, a determination is made as to whether any changes determined in the current configuration information are non-compliant based on a comparison to compliance status information. One or more compliance remediation operations are invoked in response to determining that at least one change is non-compliant.
