Abstract: A method of network management data synchronization includes instantiating a local instance of a network management platform on an edge device and instantiating a remote instance of the network management platform on a remote server. The edge device is directly connected to a local network and to a wide area network, and the local instance of the network management platform maintains a first instance of network management data. The remote server is directly connected to the wide area network and not to the first local network, and the remote instance of the network management platform maintains a second instance of the network management data. The method further includes modifying the first instance of the network management data, providing an indication of at least one modification made to the first instance of the network management data to the remote server, and modifying the second instance of the network management data.

Abstract: A method of selectively providing data from a caching edge device includes receiving a request from a local device for data stored on a server, the caching edge device configured to receive requests from the local device and to selectively forward the requests to the server and determining whether to deliver to the local device a copy of the data by analyzing the request using a forwarding rules engine, the copy of the data stored to a memory of the caching edge device. The method further includes, after determining to deliver the copy of the data to the local device, electronically transmitting the copy of the data from the memory of the edge caching device to the local device and blocking, by the edge caching device, the request from the local device to the server.

Abstract: A method of automated network documentation includes receiving a first network address for a first device connected to a local network, sending a first simple network management protocol (SNMP) request to the first network address for the first device, receiving a first SNMP response from the first device in response to the first SNMP request, and extracting first device identity information from the first SNMP request. The first network address is received by, the first SNMP request is sent by, the first SNMP response is received by, and the device identity information is extracted by a server configured to operate a network documentation platform, the network documentation platform comprising a network documentation database. The method further includes providing the first device identity information to the network documentation platform and modifying the network documentation database to create first device documentation data based on the first device identity information.

Abstract: A method of database operations includes receiving a user query, generating a query vector embedding representative of the user query, querying a vector database using the query vector embedding, retrieving a first database vector of the plurality of database vectors based on the query and representative of a first data file corresponding to a first time and belonging to a first time-series data set, receiving a first plurality of delta encodings describing differences between vector representations of temporally-adjacent data files of the first time-series data set, identifying a second data file of the first time-series data set having a second vector representation that differs from the first database vector and corresponds to a second time, and retrieving the second data file from a database.

Abstract: A method of selectively forwarding data transmissions to a wide area network includes receiving, from at least one local device and by a network device interposed between the at least one local device and the wide area network, first and second data transmissions intended for first and second destination addresses, respectively, accessible through the wide area network, detecting that a connection between the network device and the wide area network has been interrupted, storing the first data transmission and the second data transmission to a storage device electronically connected to the network device, and detecting that the connection has been restored. The method further includes generating a forwarding order by analyzing the first data transmission and the second data transmission using a forwarding rules engine, the forwarding order describing an order in which to transmit the first data transmission and the second data transmission.

Abstract: A method of selectively forwarding data transmissions to a wide area network includes receiving, by a network device interposed between a local device and the wide area network, a data transmission from the local device and directed to a destination address accessible through the wide area network, detecting that a connection between the network device and the wide area network has been interrupted, storing the data transmission to a storage device electronically connected to the network device after detecting the connection has been interrupted, detecting that the connection has been restored after storing the data transmission, determining whether to forward the data transmission to the destination address by analyzing the data transmission using a forwarding rules engine, and transmitting the data transmission from the storage device to the destination address in response to determining to forward the data transmission.
