Patent number: 8612413Abstract: A distributed data cache included in a content delivery network expedites retrieval of data for application execution by a server in a content delivery network. The distributed data cache is distributed across computer-readable storage media included in a plurality of servers in the content delivery network. When an application generates a query for data, a server in the content delivery network determines whether the distributed data cache includes data associated with the query. If data associated with the query is stored in the distributed data cache, the data is retrieved from the distributed data cache. If the distributed data cache does not include data associated with the query, the data is retrieved from a database and the query and associated data are stored in the distributed data cache to expedite subsequent retrieval of the data when the application issues the same query.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2010Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: CDNetworks Co., Ltd.Inventors: Arijit Ghosh, Vikas Garg

Patent number: 8606749Abstract: A request is received at a computer programmed as a database system. The request is a request selected from the group consisting of a query and a utility. A business concept is associated with the request. The business concept is a business concept selected from the group consisting of “who” information defining the source of the request, “what” information defining the processing to be performed by the request, “where” information defining a database object that the request will affect. The computer maps the received request to a database feature setting by mapping the business concept associated with the request to a workload. The workload is defined by a workload definition including a workload classification attribute that maps to the business concept of the request, a workload throttling attribute that defines conditions under which requests assigned to the workload are throttled. Submission of the request to the database system for processing is delayed based on the workload definition.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2010Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventors: Douglas P. Brown, Anita Richards, Bhashyam Ramesh
