Patent number: 11848981Abstract: Techniques for ingesting data streams to a distributed-computing system using a multi-directional data ingestion pipeline are provided. In one embodiment, a method for ingesting data streams includes, at a client gateway, receiving a plurality of messages; assigning the plurality of messages to one or more data streams; obtaining stream routing configurations; and identifying one or more receivers. The method further includes determining whether at least one of the one or more data streams is to be delivered to one or more receivers operating in the first computing environment; and if so, delivering the at least one of the one or more data streams to the one or more receivers operating in the first computing environment. The method further includes delivering the one or more data streams to a data ingress gateway operating in a second computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Sufian A.

Publication number: 20230379401Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for handling of bidirectional command protocols via a unidirectional communication connection established between a client computing environment and a cloud-services computing environment. In one embodiment, a command request message is pushed from a service component of the cloud-services computing environment to a client gateway of the client computing environment via the unidirectional communication connection. A token indicating routing information to the service component is embedded in the pushed command request message. A command response message is received at the cloud gateway from the client gateway via a bidirectional communication connection established between the client computing environment and the cloud-services computing environment. The command response message includes the token and data associated with executing the command request message at the client computing environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Sufian A.

Publication number: 20220141316Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for managing client computing systems, such as a client distributed-computing system. In one embodiment, a desired state of the client distributed-computing system and a current state of the client distributed-computing system are received. Measurement data generated by a plurality of components of the client distributed-computing system is received. The measurement data is processed using one or more analytical or statistical techniques to generate distilled data. Based on one or more policies and the desired state, the distilled data and the current state are analyzed to determine one or more actions predicted to converge the current state of the client distributed-computing system towards the desired state. One or more control commands corresponding to the one or more actions are provided to the client distributed-computing system. The one or more control commands cause the client distributed-computing system to perform the one or more actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2022Publication date: May 5, 2022Applicant: VMware, Inc.Inventors: James W.

Patent number: 8594711Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that allow an application residing on a user device to intercept messages directed to that device and to extract control information and/or data from the intercepted messages for use by the application. In one embodiment, the intercepted message can cause the application to change its configuration or to present information to the user that came from a sending website. In another embodiment, a message from a device can trigger a website to send back a desired piece of data. The returned data may contain a flag, which directs the data to a formatting server. The formatting server then converts the data into a format that allows the data to be intercepted by the desired application on the user device. This then allows the desired data to be presented to the user in the context of an application resident on the user's device.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2008Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Zumobi, Inc.Inventor: James W.
