Abstract: A server of a mobile network operator (MNO) executes network control logic for unbundling vertically integrated software on specialized hardware equipment, referred to here as a host. For example, the server performs a handshake with the host, and establishes an encrypted channel. The server then negotiates with the host, and determines those interfaces that the host will expose to third party software. The server, based on a current need of the MNO for a network service, compares the negotiation results with contents of a smart library. If the smart library does not have a registered and suitable app for the network service, the server obtains metadata corresponding to the app from a software supplier. The server then, for example, tests the metadata on a mockup of the host, under the control of the server. The host eventually runs the app, providing the network service without requiring an entire software revision of the host.

Abstract: A multitenant infrastructure server (MTIS) is configured to provide an environment to execute a computer routine of an arbitrary application. The MTIS receives a request from a webtask server to execute the computer routine in a webtask container. The computer routine is executed in the webtask container at the MTIS. Upon successful execution of the computer routine, a result set is returned to the webtask server. If the execution of the computer routine is unsuccessful, an error notification is returned to the webtask server. The resources consumed during the execution of the computer routine are determined. The webtask container is destroyed to prevent persistent storage of the computer routine on the MTIS.

Abstract: A client identifies a first data unit to be shared from a first file to a second file and sends an operation to copy that indicates the first data unit to be shared. The operation to copy the first data unit from the first file to the second file is received. In response to receiving the operation to copy the first data unit from the first file to the second file, it is determined whether the first data unit can be shared with the second file. In response to determining that the first data unit cannot be shared with the second file, the first data unit is copied to the second file. In response to determining that the first data unit can be shared with the second file, the first data unit is shared between the first file and the second file.

The method further includes identifying settings for an application on the managed device in response to the receiving of the network communication, where the identified settings include configuration instructions for the application. Based on a comparison between the received client-side hash value and a server-side hash value that corresponds to the identified settings, at least some of the identified settings are transmitted to the managed device. The transmitting of at least some of the identified settings can be based on the comparison indicating a mismatch between the received client-side hash value and the server-side hash value.

Abstract: A server system for managing electronic content receives the electronic content at a data flow adapter. The electronic content is to be stored at a data storage system. The server system attempts to transmit the electronic content from the data flow adapter to the data storage system but receives a notification indicating that the data storage system will not store the electronic content. In response to the notification, the server system temporarily stores the electronic content at a data staging memory. A staging data adapter polls the data staging memory for electronic content awaiting to be stored at the data storage system. The server system detects the electronic content stored at the data staging memory and, in response, causes the staging data adapter to move the electronic content from the data staging memory to the data storage system when the data storage system will store the electronic content.
