Abstract: An automated system monitors network traffic to determine dependencies between different machines. These dependencies can be used to automatically develop a recovery plan for the machines, for example restoring servers in a certain order. This approach can also automatically adjust the recovery plan for changes in system configuration, for example as different servers come online or are taken offline or change their roles.

Abstract: A streaming distributed decentralized database task system can perform multiple tasks of parallel jobs on clusters of nodes without overloading the clusters' computational resources, such as disk, memory, processors, and network bandwidth. A cluster master can manage a job and add items to node queues. A node manager accepts or rejects queue items based on streaming task limits that are applied at the node level.

Abstract: Normal virtual machine operation is observed to automatically determine patterns of resource utilization. Backup activities are then scheduled, taking into account these utilization patterns. For example, if a normally scheduled backup would occur during a busy period, it may be rescheduled to a less busy period. As another example, backups made by made opportunistically during less busy periods even if not required by the normal backup schedule, in order to alleviate backup demands during more busy periods.

Abstract: A system for validating a recovery plan for machines in a compute infrastructure is provided. In some examples, a system includes processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the processors, cause the system to perform certain operations. The operations may include collecting statistics on network connections between machines in the compute infrastructure, based on the collected statistics, determining dependencies between the machines in the compute infrastructure, and identifying inconsistencies between the dependencies and an order of recovery for the machines specified in an existing recovery plan for the machines.
