  • Patent number: 10735501
    Abstract: A system and method for limiting access requests. In one system, a load balancer receives an access request, parses the access request into a UDP message, and transmits the UDP message to an aggregator; the aggregator accumulates the UDP message according to a predefined combination of data fields and a predefined duration so as to produce statistical data, and sends the statistical data to a summarizer in response to a request from the summarizer; the summarizer requests the statistical data from the aggregator according to a predefined request time interval, receives the statistical data from the aggregator, generates a blacklist for the access requests according to the received statistical data and a predefined rule, and sends the blacklist to the load balancer in response to a request from the load balancer. The load balancer determines a processing action on each of the received access requests according to the current blacklist.

  • Patent number: 9026493
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed, which facilitates data replication in a multi-master Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). An in-memory attribute is stored at a server of a multi-master database system. The in-memory attribute is associated with an operation, a record, and a global unique identifier (GUID) assuring uniqueness across the database system. The in-memory attribute indicates disallowing at the server additional requested operations associated with the record. The operation associated with the in-memory attribute is performed at the server and logged in a global accessible log associated with the server and available to other servers of the database system. The in-memory attribute is removed from the server based on a global accessible log associated with at least one of the other servers.

  • Patent number: 9021087
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improving caching accuracy utilizing snapshot technology are provided. One or more requests for data are received. When the requests for data return valid data, the valid data is stored within a cache. The response performance of a server device is monitored. When the response performance of the server device is above a predetermined threshold, one or more snapshot versions of a memory block are taken. The memory block may include the current state of the valid data at the time the snapshot version was taken. Upon receiving a warm-up cache signal for the cache, a snapshot version is used to populate the cache and sent to a client device.

  • Patent number: 8984350
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and apparatus for replicating a process performed on a first computer on a remote computer, particularly for the replication of a database maintained of each of the computers. An offset is added to time stamps for a sequence of commands so that a correction in a command or data associated with the command that is subsequently received before the command is executed can be implemented. The correction can result in removing the command from the sequence of commands to be performed, changing the data associated with the command or delaying execution of the command, for example.
