An electrical terminal is positioned in a terminal receiving cavity of the housing. The electrical terminal includes an insulation displacement portion and a quick disconnect portion. The insulation displacement portion has insulation displacement slots provide at a first end of the terminal. The quick disconnect portion is positioned at a second end of the terminal.

Abstract: A uniform enclave interface is provided for creating and operating enclaves across multiple different types of backends and system configurations. For instance, an enclave manager may be created in an untrusted environment of a host computing device. The enclave manager may include instructions for creating one or more enclaves. An enclave may be generated in memory of the host computing device using the enclave manager. One or more enclave clients of the enclave may be generated by the enclave manager such that the enclave clients configured to provide one or more entry points into the enclave. One or more trusted application instances may be created in the enclave.

Abstract: An appliance power connector includes a terminal block having a base. The base includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The base includes a pocket. The terminal block includes an upper shroud and a lower shroud. The upper shroud has upper shroud walls extending from the base forming an upper chamber above the upper surface. The lower shroud has lower shroud walls extending from the base forming a lower chamber below the lower surface. The appliance power connector includes a power terminal coupled to the terminal block. The power terminal includes a main body, an upper stud extending from a top of the main body and a lower stud extending from a bottom of the main body. The main body is received in the pocket. The upper stud is located in the upper chamber above the base for connection to an upper power cable terminal. The lower threaded stud is located in the lower chamber below the base for connection to a lower power cable terminal.

Abstract: A method for remote attestation includes establishing, using a cryptographic protocol, a communication session between a first computing device and a second computing device. The communication session includes communications encrypted by an ephemeral session key. The method includes receiving, at the first communication device via the communication session, from the second computing device, an attestation request requesting the first computing device to provide an attestation report. The method includes generating, by the first computing device, the attestation report based on the ephemeral session key and sending, using the communication session, the attestation report to the second computing device.

Abstract: A fork support is provided for duplicating an application running inside an enclave entity. In this regard, a request to duplicate an application running inside a first enclave may be received by one or more processors of a host computing device of the first enclave. A snapshot of the first enclave including the application may be generated. The snapshot may be encrypted with a snapshot key and copied to untrusted memory of the host. A second enclave may be generated. The snapshot key may be sent from the first enclave to the second enclave through a secure communication channel. The encrypted snapshot may be copied from the untrusted memory of the host into the second enclave. The encrypted snapshot may be decrypted inside the second enclave with the snapshot key.

Abstract: A method, a computing device, and a non-transitory machine-readable medium for allocating data compression activities in a storage system are provided. A method includes tracking, by a storage controller, computing resources corresponding to a storage server. The storage controller processes one or more host read requests to access data requested by one or more hosts, the processing of the one or more host read requests including decompressing the data requested by the one or more hosts from the storage server and providing the decompressed data to the one or more hosts. The storage controller determines an amount of available computing resources after processing the one or more host read requests. Based on the amount of available computing resources, the storage controller performs inline compression of a first portion of host write requests and background compression of a second portion of the host write requests.

Abstract: A system for tracking metadata changes and recovering from system interruptions. With host I/O, corresponding metadata incremental changes are aggregated and stored in a write-ahead log before being performed to their in-memory buffers. As those buffers are flushed, checkpoints are created and stored in the log. As the log wraps to the start, older entries are overwritten after they are freed from any remaining dependencies by newer checkpoints. If metadata entities have not created new checkpoints, they are instructed to in order to free up space for new aggregated batches and checkpoints. After an interruption, the wrap point is located in the log. From the wrap point, the log is scanned backwards to provide checkpoints to metadata entities. The log is then scanned forwards to perform changes specified by aggregated batches. The metadata entities' volatile memory states are recovered to what they were before the interruption.
