Abstract: A network infrastructure management console configures one or more network switch stacks each comprising a plurality of switches. A monitoring component monitors a current conductor switch of the stack. A user interface (UI) backend component comprises a cache memory and receives a user request to configure the stack. The UI backend component receives from the monitoring component notification of the current conductor and stores in a cache memory segment associated with the current conductor the requested configuration changes. If the current conductor switch of the stack has changed due to a failover event, the configuration changes stored in the cache memory segment associated with the previous current conductor are written to a cache memory segment associated with the new current conductor. A configuration push component receives the configuration changes and transmits the configuration changes to the network switch stack.

The relationships graph is stored in a graph store. A graph query is received against selected nodes and edges in the graph store. One or more data store queries are generated therefrom, to be executed against respective selected ones of the one or more entities and their respective identified relationships based on the graph query and the graph store. The one or more data store queries are applied to selected one or more of the number of data stores.

Abstract: A voice communications computer system (“VCCS”) receives a ring signal from a call device having unverified device identification data. The VCCS identifies an audible frequency component and an electronic frequency component of the ring signal. The VCCS identifies a device identification characteristic or a geographic location characteristic based on the audible or electronic frequency components, and identifies a stored identification characteristic associated with the device identification data. Based on a comparison of the stored identification characteristic with the device identification characteristic or geographic location characteristic, the VCCS generates fraud estimation data. In some cases, the VCCS generates call status data based on the fraud estimation data. The VCCS provides the fraud estimation data or the call status data to a user interface device, which is configured to display data or perform a call action for a call associated with the ring signal.

Abstract: A first read request for data stored at a non-volatile memory is received by a primary storage controller. The data is programmed from the non-volatile memory to a first cache of the primary storage controller, the first cache to store the data over a first time range. A second read request is received for the data. In response to receiving the second read request for the data, the data is programmed to a second cache to store the data over a second time range that is greater than the first time range. A notification is transmitted to a secondary storage controller, the notification including information associated with the programming of the data to the second cache.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for managing a stream-processing application. During operation, the system allocates a first host for an active instance of the stream-processing application that maintains a state during processing of one or more input streams. Next, the system allocates a second host for a first backup instance that recreates the state on the active instance by consuming changes to the state replicated from the active instance without consuming the input stream(s). During a failure on the first host, the system moves the active instance to the first host by stopping the first backup instance on the second host. Finally, the system launches the active instance on the second host to resume processing of the input stream(s) by the active instance using the recreated state from the first backup instance.
