Abstract: The invention proposes a method and system for deriving real-time insights about heterogeneous infrastructure by allowing a user to post a natural language query. A natural language processing (NLP) engine converts the natural language query into a computer identifiable query. A query engine (QE), based on the computer identifiable query, predicts diverse infrastructure-specific commands. The QE utilizes Machine Learning (ML) models to understand the intent of the natural language query and predict the diverse infrastructure-specific commands. The QE transforms and forwards the infrastructure-specific commands to corresponding components of the heterogeneous infrastructure. One or more sensors integrated with the components of the heterogeneous infrastructure receive query from the QE and respond to the queries in real-time. An interpreter module converts the responses received from the sensors into a common data format and derives insights from the converted responses and transmits them to the user device.

Abstract: In one example, multimedia content is requested from a plurality of storage modules. Each storage module retrieves the requested parts, which are typically stored on a plurality of storage devices at each storage module. Each storage module determines independently when to retrieve the requested parts of the data file from storage and transmits those parts from storage to a data queue. Based on a capacity of a delivery module and/or the data rate associated with the request, each storage module transmits the parts of the data file to the delivery module. The delivery module generates a sequenced data segment from the parts of the data file received from the plurality of storage modules and transmits the sequenced data segment to the requester.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques, including methods and systems, including computer program products, for unicast delivery of multimedia content. A broadcast program and a video-on-demand program are ingested by a video delivery module. At least a portion of the broadcast program and at least a portion of the video-on-demand program are stored. The broadcast program, the video-on-demand program, or both are delivered as a unicast video stream to a first single subscriber through a multiplexer connected to a plurality of subscribers.
