Abstract: Snapshot-based disaster recovery (DR) orchestration systems and methods for virtual machine (VM) failover and failback do not require that VMs or their corresponding datastores be actively operating at the DR site before a DR orchestration job is initiated, i.e., before failover. An illustrative data storage management system deploys proprietary components at source data center(s) and at DR site(s). The proprietary components (e.g., storage manager, data agents, media agents, backup nodes, etc.) interoperate with each other and with the source and DR components to ensure that VMs will successfully failover and/or failback. DR orchestration jobs are suitable for testing VM failover scenarios (“clone testing”), for conducting planned VM failovers, and for unplanned VM failovers. DR orchestration jobs also handle failback and integration of DR-generated data into the failback site, including restoring VMs that never failed over to fully re-populate the source/failback site.

Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to using machine learning models to generate small molecules with desired structural or physicochemical properties with high sampling efficiency. In some implementations, one or more processors receive a data structure representing a first small molecule and encode the data structure into a latent distribution of a fixed size using a machine learning model, thereby determining an encoded representation of the data structure. To generate new molecules with similar properties to the first small molecule, the processors apply noise to the encoded representation to determine a modified encoded representation. The modified encoded representation is decoded to determine a modified data structure representing a second small molecule different from the first small molecule.
