  • Publication number: 20190236108
    Abstract: A search continuation device and its operations include, for example, performing a first electronic search based on first search criteria. The first electronic search generates first search results. The operations can further include electronically storing search data associated with the first electronic search (e.g., in a user account). The operations can further include performing a second electronic search with second search criteria substantially similar to the first search criteria. The second electronic search generates second search results. The operations can further include, retrieving the search data (e.g., from the user account), and providing, based on the search data, one or more indicators for presentation with the second search results. The one or more indicators specify continued search information, such as a degree to which content contained within an item of the first search results was previously accessed or a difference between the first search results and the second search results.

  • Publication number: 20190149602
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to managing migration of an application. The managing migration of an application includes establishing a source dataset. The source dataset includes a set of source features. The source features relate to a source. The source includes the application. A determination of a first set of migration plans is made. The determination is made with an evaluation. The evaluation is made using the source dataset and a set of legacy features. The evaluation is performed with a cost measure. The application is migrated from the source to the target. The migration is based on the determined first set of migration plans.

  • Patent number: 10015197
    Abstract: Input data are received from a source environment comprising a plurality of servers and one or more applications running on at least one of the servers. One or more patterns are discovered from the received data comprising information regarding the plurality of servers running applications that collectively perform a service. The patterns are analyzed to learn a recurring pattern. A security policy is designed for the recurring pattern. The recurring pattern and the security policy designed for the recurring pattern is stored in a database.

  • Patent number: 9804879
    Abstract: Performing server virtual machine image migration and dependent server virtual machine image discovery in parallel is provided. Migration of a server virtual machine image that performs a workload is started to a client device via a network and, in parallel, an identity is continuously discovered of a set of dependent server virtual machine images corresponding to the server virtual machine image being migrated to the client device. In response to discovering the identity of the set of dependent server virtual machine images, a server migration pattern of the discovered set of dependent server virtual machine images is generated for the workload. A level of risk corresponding to migrating each dependent server virtual machine image of the discovered set of dependent server virtual machine images to the client device is calculated based on the server migration pattern of the discovered set of dependent server virtual machine images for the workload.

  • Publication number: 20170286561
    Abstract: A native application executing on a user's device can receive a selection of one or more content items. The one or more content items can be selected via a cursor positioning device or via a gesture on a touch screen. In some aspects, the type of gesture can indicate a priority for loading the one or more content items onto the user's device. The one or more content items can be loaded while other content items are being processed by the user's device.
