Abstract: A data consistency analyzer identifies data inconsistencies proactively, providing insights into the financial, business, and technical impact to enable users to make decisions regarding resolution of the inconsistencies. The data consistency analyzer may provide additional insights such as criticality of inconsistencies. Data inconsistencies may be caused by configuration changes to master data. As described herein, data consistency is improved by keeping a constant watch on various master data changes which is one of the major sources towards causing inconsistency and taking necessary actions based on further assessments. Using master data change as initial lead, the inconsistencies would be identified that are not mere database or technical inconsistencies. Along with the primary option of inconsistency check based on master data change, additional options to scan the system based on overall run and run per selection, or application level specific checks will be provided.

Abstract: A system and methods for provisioning and managing databases are disclosed. A request is received to provision a database for a software application, including a general database type and one or more parameters for the requested database. Based on the received request, the system generates database recommendations including a recommended specific type of database. The system receives a selection of one of the recommended databases and determines whether a user submitting the request is approved, based on a level of privileges or a quota. When the user is approved for the selected database, the system generates the selected databased by retrieving database code from a repository. The system updates an inventory to reflect the provisioning of the generated database. The generated database can then be managed using the system, including predicting adverse events associated with the generated database and/or predicting a need to adjust resources for the generated database.

Abstract: It is determined that an expiration date for an object associated with a first archive that includes a chunk object that includes a plurality of data chunks has expired. The first archive is stored in a first cloud performance storage class according to an archive tiering policy. It is determined that the archive tiering policy indicates migrating the plurality of data chunks included in the chunk object from the first cloud performance storage class to a second cloud performance storage class. In response to determining that the archive tiering policy indicates migrating the plurality of data chunks included in the chunk object from the first cloud performance storage class to the second cloud performance storage class, the plurality of data chunks included in the chunk object are migrated from the first cloud performance storage class to the second cloud performance storage class.

Abstract: A satellite communication system leverages the carrier offset detection capability of the demodulator contained in an on-board modem of M&C channel.
