Patent number: 11137563Abstract: A data center includes various sets of infrastructure modules which each provide a particular type of infrastructure support to support computing operations in the data center. Separate sets of infrastructure modules can be installed incrementally based on incrementally changing support capacity for the corresponding type of infrastructure support in the data center. Such incrementally changing support capacity can be based upon support requirements of electrical loads, including rack computer systems, which are inbound to the data center. Where support capacity for a particular type of infrastructure support drops below a threshold, a quantity of additional infrastructure modules which provide the particular type of infrastructure support can be selected and installed to increase the support capacity.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Osvaldo P.

Patent number: 11102094Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of configuring a resource for network traffic analysis. An agent executed by a computing device receives an indication to record a browsing session. The agent records network activity data of the browsing session. The agent generates a data file with the recording. The agent transmits the data file and a request to generate a report to an analytics server. The analytics server receives the request and extracts the network activity data from the data file. The analytics server applies an event processing protocol to the network activity data. The analytics server generates a report and transmits the report to the client device for display.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Frank Geert Kieviet, Matthew Matyas, Robert Gardner, Martin Trieu, David Wieser, Anthony Medeiros, Andres Albano, Zohar Postelnicu, Ajay Nainani, Jens Trapp
