  • Patent number: 11347651
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method includes receiving an indication that cache data is to be copied from an originating cluster having a specified number of replica nodes to a destination cluster having an arbitrary number of replica nodes. The method further includes copying the cache data to a cache dump and creating a log that identifies where the cache data is stored in the cache dump. The method further includes copying the cache data from the cache dump to the replica nodes of the destination cluster. The copying includes writing the copied data in a distributed manner, such that at least a portion of the copied data is distributed over each of the replica nodes in the destination cluster. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10701035
    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for implementing a distributed firewall. In an embodiment, many different computer assets police incoming messages based on local policy data. This local policy data is synchronized with global policy data. The global policy data is generated by one or more separate analyzers. Each analyzer has access to message logs, or information derived therefrom, for groups of computer assets, and is thus able to generate policies based on intelligence from an entire group as opposed to an isolated asset. Among other effects, some of the approaches, techniques, and mechanisms may be effective even in computing environments with limited supervision over the attack surface, and/or computing environments in which assets may need to make independent decisions with respect to how incoming messages should be handled, on account of latency and/or unreliability in connections to other system components.
