Publication number: 20250023791Abstract: A computerized method analyzes proposed orders for network sites and generates associated order recommendations. A system configuration order (SCO) manager receives a proposed order from an ordering platform and generates a proposed site configuration using the proposed order and a current site configuration of the site. In some examples, the current site configuration is obtained from a network configuration manager associated with the site. The SCO manager generates a recommended site configuration using a configuration recommendation model and the proposed site configuration as input to the configuration recommendation model. A component difference between the recommended site configuration and the proposed site configuration is identified and an order recommendation is generated using the identified component difference. The generated order recommendation is then provided to the ordering platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2023Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Raymond E. Reeves, Randald J.

Publication number: 20150229701Abstract: A file transfer system and method for transferring large files to a destination quickly may include dividing up a large file into a plurality of components and transmitting the components simultaneously to the destination. A file can be separated into a plurality of segments and transmitted from a first module to a second module through a network simultaneously using multiple jobs corresponding to the segments. Once the second module receives the segments, the second module can implement a supply command to recreate the original saved file from the segments received from the first module. The simultaneous transmission of the segments may assist in transferring of the file at a faster rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2014Publication date: August 13, 2015Applicant: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Lerpong Bumroongpongse, John J.
