Abstract: Systems and methods of enabling a mobile computing device to perform a transaction using a first payment protocol and a second payment protocol, by executing a process on the mobile computing device, to communicate with a transaction platform executing a processor to associate a receipt of payment via the first payment protocol to the transaction platform with an account associated with the mobile computing device; receive from the transaction platform a temporary credential used for payment via the second payment protocol, the temporary credential funded based on the receipt of the payment to the transaction platform; contact a terminal via a communication protocol; and use the temporary credential to cause payment via the terminal.

Abstract: A method and a system for routing transactions within a computer network may include receiving a request to route a transaction between two nodes of the computer network, extracting a feature vector (FV) from the transaction request, including at least one feature associated with the requested transaction; associating the requested transaction with a cluster of transactions in a clustering model based on the extracted FV; selecting an optimal route for the requested transaction from a plurality of available routes, based on the FV; and routing the requested transaction according to the selection.

Abstract: A mass storage system including main and auxiliary storage subsystems and a controller Main storage provides physical storage space and includes non-solid-state storage devices (“NSSDs”) NSSDs provide physical locations, and main storage includes physical storage locations provided by NSSDs Controller is coupled to main storage and may be configured for mapping logical addresses to physical locations, giving rise to a logical storage space The auxiliary subsystem includes a solid-state data retention device (“SSDRD”) capable of permanently storing data and provides a physical location, giving rise to auxiliary space Controller is coupled to the auxiliary subsystem and may override a mapping of logical addresses to physical locations, with a mapping of logical address to physical locations within the auxiliary space, overriding physical storage locations Controller is adapted for loading a snapshot of the data currently stored in the overridden physical storage locations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a storage system which includes a primary storage space associated with a first plurality of VS devices, a temporary backup storage space associated with a second plurality of VS devices, a permanent backup storage space associated with a third plurality of NVS devices, a storage controller responsive to a write request including storing the data-element within the primary storage space and substantially immediately or concurrently storing recovery-enabling-data corresponding to the data-element within the temporary backup storage space, and asynchronously with the provisional redundant storage sequence, the controller is adapted to destage the recovery-enabling data to the permanent backup storage space, and one or more UPS units configured to provide backup power in case of power interruption to enable completion of destaging of recovery-enabling data for the entire data-set of the storage system.
