Publication number: 20220335049Abstract: The present disclosure describes an analytical data management system (ADMS) that serves critical dashboards, applications, and internal users. This ADMS has high scalability, and availability through replication and failover, high user query load, and large data volumes. The ADMS provides continuous ingestion and high performance querying with tunable freshness. It further advances the idea of disaggregation by decoupling its architectural components: ingestion, indexing, and querying. As a result, the impact of a slow down in indexing on the query performance is minimized by either trading off data freshness or incurring higher costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Vahit Hakan Hacigumus, Ankur Agiwal, Kevin I. Lai, Gokulnath Babu Manoharan, Indrajit Roy, Jagan Sankaranarayanan, Hao Zhang, Tao Zou, Rajesh Sambavarvadakarai Rajagopalan

Patent number: 9246711Abstract: A wireless mesh network enables multiple devices near each other to transmit simultaneously, thus allowing increased network bandwidth. Prior to transmitting, a device may determine various parameters of the wireless medium on which it desires to transmit. For example, the device may determine whether the intended recipient device is close enough, and verify that any other transmitting and receiving devices are far enough away. If these or any other suitable criteria are met, the device can transmit simultaneously with other devices in the vicinity.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Poovanpilli G. Madhavan, Abhishek Abhishek, Hui Shen, Ankur Agiwal, Pei Zheng, Sharad Mittal

Patent number: 8909194Abstract: A process for secure, safe, and easy provisioning of a wireless device with credentials to connect to a wireless network. A connecting wireless device and an established wireless device both utilize low power transmission at close proximity to exchange wireless connection setting information and/or a password. The connecting wireless device is moved into proximity with the established wireless device and a low power setting is discovered at which the wireless devices may communicate with a sufficiently low error rate. The proximity of the connecting wireless device to the established wireless device is verified and the connecting wireless device is then passed the secret information by the established network device.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Poovanpilli G. Madhavan, David A. Roberts, Mohammad Shabbir Alam, Zhong Deng, Sharad Mittal, Ankur Agiwal

Patent number: 8898295Abstract: Computerized methods, systems, and computer-storage media for fairly sharing available bandwidth among endpoints (including physical or virtual machines) of a multitenant environment are provided. Initially, a load balancer of the network is programmed to monitor bandwidth used by the endpoints, respectively, and to compare an aggregation of the usage against a network threshold. Also, the load balancer is equipped to dynamically classify the endpoints using the respective monitored bandwidth. Classifying generally involves designating some endpoints as small entities, which individually consume an amount of bandwidth less than an endpoint threshold, and designating other endpoints as large entities, which individually consume an amount of bandwidth greater than the endpoint threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2012Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ankur Agiwal, Cristian Costache, Jacek Nowak, Kevin O'Regan, Gareth Bradshaw, Parveen Patel, Deepak Bansal
