Abstract: A data management system (DMS) may facilitate snapshot exports between a snapshot storage account and a computing system. The DMS may receive, from the computing system, a request to download data associated with one or more snapshots stored in the snapshot storage account in a first cloud environment. The DMS may generate an export job for execution by one or more computing resources within the first cloud environment based on the request. The export job may be operable to decrypt the data and write the decrypted data to an export storage account in a second cloud environment. The DMS may generate an encrypted download link that is operable to download the decrypted data from the export storage account. The DMS may transmit the encrypted download link to the computing system associated with the request to download the data.

Abstract: Disclosed are a multi-photodetector circuit and an optical receiver incorporating the circuit. The circuit includes parallel-connected photodiodes. In some embodiments, photodiodes are connected, in a same direction, between a positive power supply line and an output line. They receive equal power optical signals or a series of 1:2 optical dividers is employed so each photodiode receives a progressively lower power signal until the last two photodiodes, which receive equal power optical signals. In other embodiments, first photodiodes are connected, in one direction, between a positive power supply line and an output line and second photodiodes are connected, in an opposite direction, between a negative power supply line and the output line. First photodiodes receive equal power optical signals from an optical divider in response to an optical input signal and second photodiodes receive equal power optical signals from another optical divider in response to an inverted optical input signal.
