Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for applying a unified governance and integration platform to social media data. Data integration definitions for managing and protecting social media data are received. After receiving the data integration definitions for social media data, data integration externalization, governance catalog externalization or lineage externalization may be performed. For example, social media data may be extracted from a database system by a governance and integration unit (“unit”) using the data integration definitions. The extracted social media data is then transformed and loaded to the social media data system via a connector linking the data from the unit to the social media data system. In another example, social media data is extracted from the social media data system by the unit, such as via the connector, using the data integration definitions and then transformed and loaded to the database system for analysis.

Abstract: When a system receives sensitive data, it can request an encryption key from an encryption/decryption unit. A central processing unit (CPU) of the system can encrypt the sensitive data using the encryption key before writing the sensitive data to memory. Thus, the sensitive data is encrypted when written to memory.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a storage system detects that an extent residing on a first one of a set of physical storage devices requires relocation. The storage system identifies a set of backend connection properties of each of a set of backend connections between the storage system and the set of physical storage devices. The set of backend connection properties includes at least a connection bandwidth between the storage system and at least one of the physical storage devices. In turn, the storage system relocates the extent from the first physical storage device to a second one of the set of physical storage devices based at least in part, on the set of backend connection properties.
