Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, one or more methods, and/or one or more processes may: attain, via a network, a subscription with an intermediary of another datacenter; provide, via the network, a request for a software product to the other datacenter; open a network communication connection with the intermediary; receive a message associated with the software product from the intermediary; close the network communication connection; receive an image associated with the software product from the other datacenter; instantiate the image as an instantiated image; determine if a first repository of the first datacenter stores a package associated with the software product; if so, retrieve the package from the first repository; if not, receive the package from a second repository of the other datacenter via the network; and install, by the instantiated image, the software product from the package on a target information handling system.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for data stream switching. While accepting data change messages from a historical data stream, in response to determining that the end of the historical data stream is approaching, consumption from a real time data stream is resumed. In accepting data change messages from one of a historical data stream and a real time data stream, a data change message identifier (DCMID) for a data change message is obtained. Then, it is determined whether the data change message is from the real time data stream. In response to determining that the data change message is from the real time data stream, the DCMID is processed against a historical data structure to determine whether the related data change message has been seen in the historical data stream. In response to determining that the data change message is from the historical data stream, the DCMID is processed against a real time data structure to determine whether the related data change message has been seen in the real time data stream.
