Abstract: A storage appliance may be configured to perform a method to evaluate a failover procedure. The method may include receiving a trigger indication to perform a test failover procedure for a plurality of virtual machines and identifying, based on receiving the trigger indication, a set of procedures for performing a full failover procedure on a target system based at least in part on a recovery configuration for the plurality of virtual machines. The method may include selecting a subset of test procedures of the set of procedures, causing execution on the target system of the subset of test procedures on a subset of virtual machines of the plurality of virtual machines, and calculating, based at least in part on the execution of the subset of test procedures on the subset of virtual machines, a success metric associated with the full failover procedure for the plurality of virtual machines.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to determining automation potential of a process by dividing the process into subsidiary processes corresponding to five hierarchical tiers, assessing the subsidiary processes by selecting a value for each of one or more parameters for each of the subsidiary processes at the tier five, computing a score for the subsidiary processes at the tier five based on the selected values, identifying a category of automation for the subsidiary processes in the tier five based on the score for the subsidiary processes at the tier five; determining an automation potential indicator for the subsidiary processes in the tier five based on the category of automation and the score; computing a maximum automation potential indicator and an automation potential indicator at each hierarchical tier based on a maximum automation potential indicator and an automation potential indicator at immediately lower tier to compute the automation potential for the process.

Abstract: Drilling communication systems employ a Wi-Fi wet connect to communicate information from one downhole subsystem to another. In some implementations, the subsystems are disposed within drilling callers making-up a bottom hole assembly (BHA). The Wi-Fi wet connect may communicate information obtained by a first downhole subsystem for storing or transmission by the second downhole subsystem.

Abstract: A method includes coupling a strain gauge to a tubular member, and positioning the tubular member in the wellbore such that the tubular member is placed under bending stress by a curvature or deviation in the wellbore. The method also includes measuring bend on the tubular member with the strain gauge in at least one plane and determining one or more of the magnitude or orientation of the curvature of the wellbore based on an output of the strain gauge.

Abstract: Drilling telemetry systems and methods include a cable antenna a cable antenna in an auxiliary borehole in a subterranean formation arranged to receive electromagnetic signal transmitted from an EM tool in an adjacent wellbore in the subterranean formation. The cable antenna may include a wireline cable having a center core, an insulated electrical cable head in direct electrical communication with the center core, and an uninsulated signal receiver in direct electrical communication with electrical cable head. The uninsulated signal receiver may have an outer surface formed of a conductive material and configured to contact a natural subterranean formation.
