Abstract: embodiments for a data protection method of prioritizing data assets for backup operations. a base priority of data assets operated on by the backup system is first determined as defined by certain characteristics, along a defined scale. the process then prioritizes certain data assets using priority tagging, grouping factors, and metadata modifiers to generate an interim net priority. if any assets have the same prioritization value, other asset attributes are used to further prioritize any tied assets. the process then performs a priority response action, such as notifying the user (normally or urgently) based on the asset prioritization. the backup/restore operations are then performed on the data assets in an order based on the final prioritization values.

Abstract: warm up or look up tables are generated for training reinforcement learning models. rather than wait for a metric, such as execution times, that are required to determine a reward, previously generated warm up tables that include a probability distribution of the metric are used such that the reward can be determined without waiting for a workload to finish executing. the ability to determine the reward more quickly can shorten training times and help compensate for the exploration/exploitation trade-off experienced in training reinforcement learning models. the warm up table considers averages of a relevant metric and standard deviation of different workload instance-device associations such that the metric can be sampled from the probability distribution.

Abstract: current data center deployments, particularly layer 2 (l2) deployments that use multi-chassis link aggregation group (mc-lag) implementations, have limitations. such deployments use a link, known as an inter-node link (inl)/inter-chassis link (icl), to connect peer information handling system nodes. because the peer nodes are coupled together via one or more inl connections, there are fewer ports available for each peer node to connect to end nodes. this configuration creates limitations to bandwidth and scaling, and also increase costs. embodiments herein allow for the elimination of inls by moving forwarding decisions to the spine node level. in one or more embodiments, a spine node determines ports to reach dual-homed, single-homed, and orphaned node that are connected to leaf node(s) based on information learned from the leaf nodes. for a leaf node, a sub-lag (link aggregation group) may be created to reach single-homed/orphaned nodes connected to the leaf node.

Abstract: a headroom-based result determination system includes first and second ports connected via a link, and a buffer for the first port. a headroom-based result determination subsystem monitors data stored in the buffer that was received in data packets each having a worst-case data packet size and transmitted at a maximum packet rate for a link speed of the link, determines that a buffer threshold is reached and, in response, generates a pause instruction. the headroom-based result determination subsystem then transmits the pause instruction to the second port, measures a first amount of data stored in the buffer subsequent to generating the pause instruction, and generates a headroom-based result by adding the first amount of data, a second amount of data equal to a maximum transmission size of the first port, and a third amount of data equal to a maximum transmission size of a class of the data received at the first port.
