Abstract: A method and related apparatus adaptively control snapshot replication of a plurality of server snapshots in a multi-tenant public cloud using snapshot service. A plurality of snapshot requests are received from a plurality of clients in the multi-tenant public cloud and are each associated with a service level agreement (SLA). The SLA includes a corresponding completion deadline and a slippage penalty. A probabilistic model calculates, for active snapshot flows, a completion time for each of the snapshot requests. If any of the predicted completion times exceed their corresponding completion deadlines, a possible MISS event is produced for an associated first snapshot. The snapshot controller component, in response to producing the possible MISS event, minimizes a probability of breaching fulfillment times for the multi-tenant cloud. The slippage penalty is calculated for each of the plurality of snapshot requests. A second snapshot is identified from among the plurality of snapshot requests.

Abstract: A hybrid control system includes a control agent and a control engine. The control engine is configured to install a master plan to the control agent.

The control agent is configured to operate according to the master plan to transition between the plurality of high-level tasks thereby causing a seamless transition between operating at least partially autonomously and operating at least partially based on input from the tele-operator, based at least on context for the control agent, to operate at least partially autonomously and at least partially based on input from the tele-operator during execution of the master plan.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use in a storage network operate by: storing, in a first storage unit of a first set of storage units of the storage network, a first encoded data slice corresponding to at least one data object; assigning one or more additional storage units to the storage network to form a second set of storage units, the second set of storage units including the one or more additional storage units; migrating the first encoded data slice from the first storage unit to at least one of the one or more additional storage units of the second set of storage units; and reallocating a mapping of the first encoded data slice from the first storage unit to the at least one of the one or more additional storage units of the second set of storage units.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for providing a remote data gateway that supports peer routing for use with an analytics environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a data analytics remote data gateway server connects to on-premise data clients, via remote data gateway agents. If a remote data gateway server cannot reach a particular data client at its remote data gateway agent, then it can determine which other clients it can get requests from. To address this, the system can use a process of inverse proxy peer-to-peer routing—if a client has a request to be processed, but the server has not yet called into that client, then the client can hand off the request to a peer remote data gateway server, and the server can retrieve/process that request from that server operating as a proxy.

Abstract: A method includes retrieving an encoded data slice from memory of a storage network, where the encoded data slice is associated with a slice integrity value stored in the memory, and where a data segment of data is error encoded into a set of encoded data slices that includes the encoded data slice. The method further includes generating a second slice integrity value based on the retrieved encoded data slice. The method further includes determining whether the second slice integrity value compares favorably to the slice integrity value. When the second slice integrity value compares unfavorably to the slice integrity value, the method further includes facilitating rebuilding of the encoded data slice to produce a rebuilt encoded data slice. The method further includes storing the rebuilt encoded data slice in the memory.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for unified high-bandwidth, low-latency data services provided with enhanced user mobility. In one embodiment, a network architecture having service delivery over at least portions of extant infrastructure (e.g., a hybrid fiber coax infrastructure) is disclosed, which includes standards-compliant ultra-low latency and high data rate services (e.g., 5G NR services) via a common service provider. Premises devices are used to provide the 5G-based services to users at a given premises and thereabouts. In another variant, local area (e.g., “pole mounted”) radio devices are used to provide supplemental RF coverage, including during mobility scenarios. The 5G-capable network enables uninterrupted and “seamless” exchange of data at a client device by utilizing a common waveform protocol (e.g., 3GPP-based) at a premises device and an external radio device to communicate with a client device at different locations and times while the device is moving between inside and outside the premises.
