  • Patent number: 11055108
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) connecting a first computer system to a boot swarm, initiating formation of a peer to peer network. The processor(s) receive a request from a second computer system, a request for a file. The processor(s) configure the second computer system, including implementing a client application hosted from a resource in the first computer system, to facilitate the second computer system joining the peer to peer network. The processor(s) determine immediate peer(s) in the peer to peer network available to provide the file to the second computer system. The processor(s) generate a magnet link that includes a listing of address(es) of the immediate peer(s), ranking address(es) from best source to worst source for downloading the file. The processor(s) provide the second computer system with the magnet link to utilize in downloading the file from a peer.

  • Patent number: 10979239
    Abstract: A computer system includes a first server including a first data management module and a second server including a second data management module, and a first and second storage controller. The first and second storage controllers are interconnected by a network configured for reliable data multicasting. 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.
