Abstract: a method and system for leveraging file-system metadata for direct to cloud object storage optimization. under cloud object storage architecture, any unstructured data may be managed and stored in the cloud as objects. objects thus provide an elastic, scalable format through which unstructured data may be maintained for a variety of purposes, including those directed to data backup, archiving, and/or disaster recovery. cloud object storage, however, tends to be costly—mainly stemming from factors, such as the frequency of read and write operations (also referred to as runtime costs) applied to, as well as the allocation of disk space (also referred to as storage costs) consumed by, any number of objects configured to store file backup copies. in addressing at least the aforementioned, embodiments disclosed herein optimize cloud object storage utilization through the intelligent grouping and object storing of data based on file attribute similarities.

Abstract: a method and system for leveraging backup process metadata for cloud object storage selective deletions. under cloud object storage architecture, any unstructured data may be managed and stored in the cloud as objects. objects thus provide an elastic, scalable format through which unstructured data may be maintained for a variety of purposes, including those directed to data backup, archiving, and/or disaster recovery. further, any unstructured data, stored within any object, may pertain to one or many file(s). should data, from multiple files, be stored within a shared object, any post-upload activity (e.g., modifications or deletions in keeping with data regulatory compliances) targeting said data, belonging to any one file or a subset of files, may be complex and resource-expensive. in addressing these undesirable qualities, embodiments disclosed herein use metadata, produced during and/or following backup processes protecting file data, to fulfill said post-upload activity resource-efficiently and without data compromising effects.

Abstract: a distributed and deduplicating file system that stores backup data to object storage is described. a node, in a cluster of nodes, receives a write operation to back up a data file, and identifies backup data associated with the write operation. the node identifies deduplicated data by deduplicating the backup data. the cluster stores the deduplicated data to each of the buffers which corresponds to a node in the cluster. if the node determines that the size of information, which includes the deduplicated data, stored to each of the buffers has accumulated to become greater than or equal to an object threshold, then the node writes the information, which includes the deduplicated data, stored in each of the buffers to an object storage which stores data for the nodes in the cluster.

IPC Code(s): G06F11/14
Abstract: a method and system for leveraging backup process metadata for data recovery optimization. concerning file-system data protection, recovery operations tend to be exhaustive processes that often require extensive storage space and network bandwidth, among other, resources. further, many existing file-system recovery solutions tend to implement whole or full data transfers (i.e., entailing the migration of all file-system data for a sought point-in-time) irrespective of which data may already be maintained on select recovery destinations, thereby unnecessarily allocating and expending said limited resources. in addressing this inefficiency, embodiments disclosed herein use metadata, produced during and/or following backup processes protecting file-system data, to identify and restore portions, rather than the entirety, of file-system data sought to be recovered from backup storage onto any recovery destination(s). through said mechanism enabling partial file-system data recovery, usage of resources pertinent to the recovery process is optimized.

Abstract: the technology described herein is directed towards a capacitor with a modified design (relative to standard capacitors), in which a first conductor is coupled to a second conductor via a distributed array of conducting interconnects through a dielectric that separates the conductors. the array of interconnects can be geometrically distributed. the array of conducting interconnects, not present in standard capacitors, results in capacitors with larger self-resonant frequency, e.g., having a substantially stable capacitance over a range of high radio frequencies, e.g., from one gigahertz to twenty gigahertz. this further provides an improved quality factor. the improvements resulting from the array of interconnects, facilitates more optimal surface current density. the modified capacitor provides benefits in various circuits, e.g., in a tuning element as part of an impedance matching network, in a millimeter wave frequency phase shifter for antenna elements, and so on.

Abstract: disclosed methods include sending, from a resource manager, network configuration information to each of one or more managed resources. the network configuration information may include an ip address for the resource manager, an ip address for each of the managed resources, and a predetermined timeout value. network configurations for the resource manager and the one or more managed resources may then be set after which each managed resource may start a timer with the predetermined timeout value. if the resource manager detects successful completion of each of the network configuration operations, the resource manager may send a stop timer command to each of the managed resources. if a timeout occurs, the timeout will inform each of the managed resources that the change in network configuration was not entirely successful. the resource manager and each of the managed resources will then restore their network configurations to their previous configurations.

Abstract: the technology described herein is directed towards skipping handover, particularly for ultra-reliable low latency communications (urllc) devices, based on uplink conditions and other conditions such as control channel capacity and uplink channel performance (e.g., efficiency-related data. in one aspect, a controller monitors ues, such as urllc devices, and for each ue evaluates serving cell and neighbor cell data conditions. based on the conditions, the controller decides whether to allow handover or skip handover. in another aspect, a ue is provided with conditional handover criteria, and the ue skips or starts a handover based on ue state data monitored at the ue with respect to the conditional handover criteria. in another aspect, machine learning can model the relation between the performance data used for handover skip decisions with respect to signal strength data to determine very optimal thresholds for handover skip decisions.
