  • On-demand subscribed content library
    Patent number: 10742713
    Abstract: A cluster management system and method for synchronizing content libraries within a distributed computer system allows an on-demand synchronization option of a content library subscribed to a publishing content library, which includes at least a consumable software item and metadata of the consumable software item, to be enabled. As a result of the on-demand synchronization option of the subscribed content library being enabled, the metadata of the consumable software item is downloaded from the publishing content library to the subscribed content library without downloading the consumable software item. The consumable software item is downloaded from the publishing content library to the subscribed content library in response to user selection of the consumable software item at the subscribed content library.
    Type: Grant

  • Intelligent content synchronization between content libraries
    Patent number: 10417254
    Abstract: A cluster management system and method for synchronizing content libraries within a distributed computer system uses multiple replication processes to synchronize a subscribed content library with a publishing content library, which includes at least a consumable software item and metadata of the consumable software item. If the consumable software item of the publishing content library can be replicated at the subscribed content library using a first data replication process, then the consumable software item of the publishing content library is replicated at the subscribed content library using the first data replication process. If the consumable software item of the publishing content library cannot be replicated at the subscribed content library using the first data replication process, the consumable software item of the publishing content library is replicated at the subscribed content library using a second data replication process.
