Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for data analytics. The method includes receiving a plurality of first data streams from respective managed elements in a network and partitioning data of the plurality of first data streams according to an attribute regarding the data into a partitioned second data stream. The partitioned second data stream then may be streamed toward a data analytics platform for consumption by the data analytics platform. In a preferred embodiment, WebSockets are used.

Abstract: A computer-executable method, computer program product, and system of managing I/O requests in a distributed data storage system, wherein the distributed data storage system includes a first node and one or more data storage array, the computer-executable method, computer program product, and system comprising receiving an I/O request at the first node enabled to utilize a storage engine to process the I/O request, wherein the storage engine is comprised of two or more layers, analyzing the I/O request using a first layer of the two or more layers to determine whether the I/O request relates to a portion of metadata managed by the first layer of the two or more layers, and processing the I/O request based on the determination.
