  • Patent number: 11720573
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligently pre-fetching data for input controls are disclosed. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods predict whether an input control is likely to be edited and only pre-fetches data for the input controls that have a high likelihood of being edited. This way, the presently disclosed systems and methods not only reduce latency in displaying recommended data results for input controls that are likely to be edited but also reduces the number of calls made to the backend server to retrieve the data as the data is not retrieved for all rendered input controls, but only the ones that are likely to be edited.

  • Patent number: 11693994
    Abstract: A system and method for securing data storage devices in an information technology (IT) network storage system is provided. The security system comprises a security control computer and electronic locks, which are mounted in a data center cabinet to slots for holding respective data storage devices. The security protocol implemented by the control computer requires an authorized administrator to execute a lock/unlock command identifying a particular device, and to provide a first part of a combination key. Additionally, an on-site hardware engineer is required to input a second part of the key at a terminal on-site at the data center. Upon verification of the first key, and then the second key, the control computer unlocks or locks the appropriate electronic lock. The control computer also implements a data backup/flushing process prior to allowing removal of an online cache board to avoid data corruption, loss, or system interruption.

  • Publication number: 20230177365
    Abstract: Methods and systems for intelligently recommending selections for a selector control are disclosed. The method includes receiving a recommendation request from a selector control client, the recommendation request comprising a search string and a unique identifier of a user interacting with a selector control; identifying user identifiers of usernames matching the search string; retrieving machine learning features corresponding to the user identifiers of usernames matching the search string; applying a machine learning model to the retrieved machine learning features to assign weights to the retrieved machine learning features; computing recommendation scores for the user identifiers based on the assigned weights to the retrieved machine learning features; ranking the user identifiers based on the recommendation scores; and forwarding a ranked list of user identifiers to the selector control client for displaying in the selector control for selection by the user interacting with the selector control.

  • Patent number: 11580235
    Abstract: A security solution having a system, a method, or a computer program for protecting contents in a target storage device that is arranged to be removable from a storage system having a unique combination of a system complex key (SCK) and a system identification (SID). The solution includes receiving a request to remove the target storage device from the storage system, where the storage system may have a plurality of storage devices each containing the identical combination of system complex key (SCK) and system identification (SID), and receiving a system complex key password (SCKP). The solution includes comparing the system complex key password (SCKP) to the system complex key (SCK) in the storage system, determining whether the system complex key password (SCKP) matches the system complex key (SCK) in the storage system, and suspending all read or write operations to the target storage device when the system complex key password (SCKP) matches the system complex key (SCK) in the storage system.

  • Publication number: 20230016745
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method to manage an enterprise data storage system, the method including: dividing storage disks of the enterprise data storage system into multiple virtual storage subsystems, wherein each virtual storage subsystem hosts a non-overlapping subset of the storage disks, and wherein each virtual storage subsystem includes a level-2 cache memory dedicated thereto; establishing a communication path between the level-2 cache memory dedicated to each virtual storage subsystem and a main cache of the enterprise-level data storage system; and maintaining a copy of transaction data from the non-overlapping subset of the storage disks hosted by each virtual storage subsystem in the level-2 cache memory dedicated thereto such that when the main cache searches for the copy of the transaction data, the main cache fetches, over the communication path, the copy of the transaction data from the level-2 cache memory of the virtual storage subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20220052990
    Abstract: A system and method for providing cable security in a network is generally described. The method includes receiving a request to remove a cable, where the request includes a first password and a second password, and wherein the cable connects a first port and a second port. The method further includes determining a first authenticity of the first password. After determining the first authenticity of the first password, the method further includes suspending a data flow through the cable, virtually mapping, by a storage device configuration unit, the first port to a third port, and transmitting the data flow from the third port to the second port. The method further includes determining an authenticity of the second password. After determining the authenticity of the second password, the method includes unlocking a physical lock connected to the cable.

  • Publication number: 20210406804
    Abstract: A collaboration platform for implicitly determining user collaborations in real time or near real time is disclosed. The collaboration platform monitors event records generated based on user interactions with various team-based tools/collaborative applications to generate collaboration scores that provide a real time picture of a user's interactions with other users, and a user's interactions with content/objects/projects in the tools/collaborative applications. The collaboration platform also monitors user interactions with specific sub-projects to determine at any given time the users actively involved in any given project or sub-project.

  • Patent number: 10936436
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes the following. A start time for a backup of data in a system is received. At the start time, a snapshot of the data in the system is captured. When an environment of the system is a database environment, the capturing includes setting a status of a database to backup mode and freezing data files in the database while permitting applications to run. When the environment of the system is a non-database environment, and when a file system type is general parallel file system (GPFS), the capturing includes caching new input/output operations to a cache and starting a timer (counter) for flushing the cache. At a specified time, the snapshot is copied to media, setting the status of the database to normal mode, and providing copying notifications to users.

  • Publication number: 20200134236
    Abstract: A method for an audiovisual receiver to request an audiovisual transmitter to reset a communication link includes requesting the reset when the audiovisual receiver determines that the communication link is unlocked. The communication is determined to be unlocked when the active geometry of successive audiovisual frames transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver is determined by the receiver to be inconsistent. The communication is also determined to be unlocked when the interval between control bits of the successive audiovisual frames is inconsistent. When one or both of the inconsistencies is determined, the receiver sets an error bit in a register of the receiver that is accessible by the transmitter to determine from the receiver that the communication link is unlocked.
