Abstract: The described method and system enables a client at a branch office to retrieve data from a local hosted cache instead of an application server over a WAN to improve latency and reduce overall WAN traffic. A server at the data center may be adapted to provide either a list of hashes or the requested data based on whether a hosted cache system is enabled. A hosted cache at the client side may provide the data to the client based on the hashes. The hashes may be generated to provide a fingerprint of the data which may be used to index the data in an efficient manner.

Abstract: In embodiments of wireless radios managed based on proximity, a mobile device, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, or other portable device can be implemented for multiple, different wireless communications. A mobile device can include a first radio system for a first wireless communications technology, and a second radio system for a second wireless communications technology. A connection manager determines, based on the first wireless communications technology, whether the mobile device is in an area that is proximate an endpoint implemented for the second wireless communications technology. The connection manager can turn-on the second radio system to enable wireless communication with the endpoint when the mobile device is in the area proximate the endpoint. Alternatively, the connection manager can turn-off the second radio system and conserve power that would otherwise be utilized to scan for the endpoint when the mobile device is not in the area proximate the endpoint.

Abstract: This document describes management capabilities for a wireless docking experience. A wireless dock is configured to connect to multiple peripheral devices, such as a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse. Mobile devices can connect to the wireless dock, via a short-range wireless connection, to utilize the multiple peripheral devices. When deployed with other wireless docks, the wireless dock can be configured to provide management information with a broadcast signal that is usable by the mobile devices to manage the wireless connection to, and experience with, the wireless dock. The management information can include one or more of a do-not-automatically-connect indicator, an in-use indicator, an Internet-available indicator, or a group identifier.

Abstract: Methods and computer readable mediums are described that facilitate inviting user entities on a network. The method may include initiating a first application for sending an invitation by a first user entity on a first endpoint, selecting a second user entity to receive the invitation, and selecting an activity. The method may also include sending from the first endpoint to the second user entity the invitation to participate in the activity if the first endpoint determines the activity is supported by a computing application on the first endpoint.
