  • Patent number: 10394630
    Abstract: Methods for use in a dispersed storage network (DSN) to determine relative importance of data objects stored in the DSN for use in making prioritization decisions relating to necessary rebuilding of data. In various examples, relative importance rankings are generated based on heuristic measures and explicit ranking factors. The heuristics measures, which may be updated periodically, may include the frequency of access requests relating to a data object, the number of unique requestors of a data object, the age of a data object, the size of a data object, the amount of other data referenced by a data object, and a predicted amount of other data that would be rendered useless or inaccessible should a data object be lost. The explicit ranking factors may include a storage vault identifier and an importance marker associated with a data object. Higher priority data is preferably rebuilt prior to lower priority data.

  • Patent number: 10382581
    Abstract: A server automatically generates a response to a request received from a first user. The server generates response templates for the second user. The server receives the request from the first user, where the request includes request values for request fields. The server selects the second user to respond to the request received from the first user. The server automatically selects one of the response templates for generating the response to the request. The selected one of the response templates is determined to be the response template that most closely matches the request received from the first user. The server automatically generates the response using the selected response template including populating one or more placeholder values with information extracted from the request received from the first user. The server transmits the generated response to the first user.

  • Patent number: 10341194
    Abstract: A method for building, optimizing, and maintaining a computing infrastructure on a cloud computing environment is provided. A user provides a high-level declaration to a cloud environment operating system, specifying the details of the infrastructure that is intended to be built on the cloud. A cloud environment operating system converts the high level declaration to a lower level declaration and then to a series of instructions that can be executed by the cloud to build the desired infrastructure. The cloud environment operating system can also continuously monitor the infrastructure once it is built on the cloud. If the cloud environment operating system notices any discrepancies between the user's original specification and the infrastructure as built on the cloud, the operating system can work to modify the existing infrastructure on the cloud to conform to the infrastructure specified by a user.
