Abstract: In various examples, systems for performing cloud-based updating of operating systems (e.g., root file systems) using system partitioning. For instance, a system(s) may initiate updates of the operating systems of machines, where the machines use system partitioning for the updating. More specifically, the system(s) may cause a machine to update the operating system using a standby system partition while the machine is currently running on another, active system partition. In some circumstances, the system(s) may perform these processes in order to update a cluster of machines, such as during a specific time period or at a certain frequency. By using such processes, the cluster of machines may still operate during the updating of the machines and/or even if the update fails on one or more of the machines.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a cloud-hosted management plane where an authenticated user can initiate a request to establish a remote session to an edge device. A request may be transmitted to create a secure tunnel between the edge device and the cloud-based management plane. The edge device may receive and use a set of credentials to trigger a web-socket tunnel from the edge device to the cloud-hosted management plane. This connection may be used for management of an edge device(s), troubleshooting edge inferencing, access/use of edge applications, and various other applications.

Abstract: A global multimedia server, local multimedia server and multimedia client create a universal communication system allowing any consumer to engage a plethora of media content to any end user. The global media server may be located through a publicly accessible IP address using a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) based on DNS. The delivery of multimedia calls or messages may also be achieved by using an E.164 number as universal resource identifier. PBX features allow for the manipulation of multimedia content and the use of mixed and multiple media during a communication or the creation of spontaneous or scheduled conferences that are both collaborative and interactive.

Abstract: An apparatus including a private branch exchange (PBX) switch, a residential gateway to receive channel associated signals (CAS) from the PBX switch, and a programmable CAS module to convert the CAS signals into internet protocol (IP) signals is disclosed.
