  • Patent number: 11503136
    Abstract: Systems and methods for migrating data. One system includes a server including at least one electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive local storage information from a migration client executed by each of a plurality of source devices. The electronic processor is also configured to aggregate the local storage information received for each of the plurality of source devices to determine a migration load, and determine a reservation model based on the migration load. In addition, the electronic processor is configured to issue a first reservation to a first source device included in the plurality of source devices based on the reservation model, the first reservation triggering migration of data stored on the first source device to the at least one remote storage location, and, in response to completion of the first reservation, issue a second reservation based on the reservation model.

  • Patent number: 8250518
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for defining a default handler software application in response to an event at a computer. An event, for example, a user opening a file with a specific extension or accessing a uniform resource locator (URL) with a specific protocol, may trigger the operating system to instantiate a user-level default handler program associated with the event type and the specific user. Users may define user-level default handlers through a centralized user interface maintained by the operating system. During the application installation process, an application may register lists of supported events that the application is capable of handling.
