Abstract: Differential access to data for a user of a processor-based system is disclosed wherein the user may select one secret from among a plurality of secrets that allows and/or enables access to potentially different sets of data, different resources for accessing the data and/or different tasks for the user to interact with the system. The selection of any particular secret may arise as to the user's feeling as to how secure the environment is for accessing the data. For example, if the user is in a very secure environment, the user may select a secret that allows substantially broad access to data, resources and tasks. If the environment is not secure, or if the user is under duress, the user may select a secret that provides limited access, or a decoy set of data and/or may provide the user with access to defensive measures to protect the data.

Abstract: A system is disclosed that monitors payment transactions of users across participating merchant sites, and that uses this information to determine payment service preferences of particular users. When a user initiates a checkout transaction on a merchant site, the system uses this preference information to attempt to identify a payment service that is both supported by the merchant site and preferred by the user. One of the methods includes receiving a request from a content server associated with a merchant site for a preferred option associated with a user, the request including information indicative of the user. Information describing options associated with the user are accessed, and the accessed information and information identifying options accepted by the merchant site are used to determine a preferred option. Information identifying the preferred option is provided to the content server.

Abstract: A datacenter management system uses data collection proxies to collect performance data and configuration data for different physical and virtual entities in the datacenter. A schema is used to represent the different entities, entity relationships, and entity properties in the datacenter. A search engine identifies the intent of a natural language based search query based on the schema and a datacenter dictionary. The search engine then searches the data based on the search query intent. A dictionary manager converts both periodic and aperiodic data into a time series. This allows the search engine to operate as a time machine identifying both performance data and configuration data for any selectable time period.
