The computer system further includes a cross system manager for controlling one or more core storage functions on each of the first and second storage controllers. The computer system further includes computer program instructions to, responsive to a core storage function triggered by the cross system manager: Create a multicast group for each of the first server and the second server in the network, wherein the multicast group is created by a reliable multicast mechanism, and Multicast data write operations of each of the first server and the second server to the first storage controller and the second storage controller of the multicast group.

Abstract: A system and method for management of communications for components in a global accelerator system is provided. The global accelerator system includes client devices communicating with a global access point via a public network to access various endpoints that can host services. In turn, a global access point communicates to various endpoints, which are organized into different data centers, via a private network. To facilitate exchanges on behalf of different client devices, the global access points can characterize groupings of endpoints into subgroups or braids. Individual braid communications can be encapsulated and are routed at the data center by a networking equipment using 5-tuple information in packets. The components within individual braids can broadcast or multi-cast state information via management messages to ensure failover or mitigate duplicative processing.

Abstract: An application identifier control system controls an application dependency identification system to access request logs in one or more front end server systems that are providing access to a hosted application and identify dependencies. The dependencies are identified by identifying successful data access requests to an endpoint to be migrated, that originate from a separate, requesting application. A surfacing control system controls surfacing logic to surface the dependencies.

Abstract: Examples described herein include configuration of a transmitting network device to identify a source queue-pair identifier in at least some of the packets that are transmitted to an endpoint destination. A network device that receives packets and experiences congestion can determine if a congestion causing packet includes a source queue-pair identifier. If the congestion causing packet includes a source queue-pair identifier, the network device can form and transmit a congestion notification message with a copy of the source queue-pair identifier to the transmitting network device. The transmitting network device can access a context for the congestion causing packet using the source queue-pair identifier without having to perform a lookup to identify the context.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are described herein for flexible triggering of triggered code (e.g. cloud functions). Flexible triggering may reduce costs, for example, by adjusting triggered code execution to avoid resource scale out (e.g. additional resources and/or power consumption). A specified (e.g. preferred) execution trigger may be modified or replaced, for example, by a flexible trigger configured to provide variable triggering. Triggering may be varied, for example, based on the status of one or more monitored resources in an execution environment. Variable triggering may be constrained by a time window (e.g. before, during and/or after a specified trigger). Flexible triggers may be specified (e.g. trigger type, parameters and constraints), for example, in service level agreements, by tenants and/or by cloud providers.

Abstract: A load balancing method is disclosed, the method includes establishing a processing network including a plurality of task-processing processors interconnected therewith, each processor of the plurality having a queue of tasks to be processed, establishing a k-regular graph including nodes and branches connecting the nodes, where k is the degree of the graph, assigning d walkers to the k-regular graph, where each walker is randomly assigned to a node, receiving a new task to be processed, walking from the assigned nodes to new nodes by randomly choosing a new node from one or more available nodes, without backtracking from each of the assigned nodes to a node from which each of the d walkers immediately walked, comparing the queues of the new nodes, determining which queue of the new nodes has the least number of tasks; and assigning the new task to the node with the least number of tasks.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods of selecting candidates for comparison of fingerprints of devices. An exemplary method comprises calculating a digital fingerprint of a device, determining a group of digital fingerprints where the digital fingerprint occurs, calculating vectors of changed features of each digital fingerprint, calculating a probability that the digital fingerprint and each digital fingerprint within the group belong to the same chain, identifying a set of candidates from the group whose probability of belonging to the same chain of fingerprints crosses a value, comparing the calculated digital fingerprint of the device with the fingerprints in the set of candidates, determine that the device correspond to a device in the set of candidates when the comparison results in a match higher than a specified threshold and permitting the user actions, otherwise tracking the user actions with the online service as fraudulent activity.

Abstract: A method and system for multivariate profile-based host operational state classification. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail the generation of non-geometric shapes derived from operational state inferring features reflective of at least a portion of host device telemetry aggregated for host devices. The non-geometric shapes may subsequently be mapped onto a high-dimensional feature space and, thereafter, assigned into clusters representative of given target operational states that may be exhibited by the host devices. Based on identified operational states, assigned to the non-geometric shapes, reactive actions may be invoked to address or rectify operations and/or configurations on the host devices.

Abstract: Cloud storage systems and methods are described for providing event-based user state synchronization among the various cloud elements. A global user directory is maintained on a remote cloud storage system. The global user directory includes a plurality of global user definitions associated with a plurality of user accounts, where each of the user accounts has access to at least one of a remote file system (RFS) hosted by the remote cloud storage system and a local file system (LFS) hosted by a local cloud storage system. As global user definition are altered on the remote cloud storage system, user events are generated and communicated to the local cloud storage system, where they are applied to synchronize the local user definitions with the global user definitions. The invention facilitates centralized control of user definitions, near real-time event delivery to local cloud storage systems, and separation of authentication processes from customers' active directory services.
