CPC Code(s): G06F3/0481
Abstract: systems and methods are described for adjusting streaming of screen data from a server to a client based on visibility of the window in which the screen data is presented on the client. visibility of a window in the graphical user interface (gui) can be monitored, for example by detecting when the window is minimized or obscured by other objects in the gui, and the streaming of screen data to the window can be dynamically adjusted based on the window visibility. when the window is minimized or fully obscured, the streaming of screen data can be stopped. when the window is partially obscured, the streaming can be modified such as by decreasing the frame rate.

Abstract: components of a distributed data object are synchronized using streamlined tracking metadata. a target component of the distributed data object is detected as it becomes available and stale. a source component that is up-to-date and that mirrors the address space of the detected target component is identified. a set of mapped address ranges and a set of unmapped address ranges of the identified source component are obtained. a mapped address range of the target component that corresponds with an unmapped address range of the source component is identified. the identified mapped address range of the target component is then synchronized with the corresponding unmapped address range of the source component. thus, unmapped address ranges are synchronized without using tracking metadata of the source component.

Abstract: system and method for converting a storage object in a redo-log snapshot format to a single-container snapshot format in a distributed storage system uses a temporary snapshot object, which is created by taking a snapshot of the storage object, and an anchor object, which points to a root object of the storage object. for each object chain of the storage object, each selected object is processed for format conversion. for each selected object, difference data between the selected object and a parent object of the selected object is written to the anchor object, a child snapshot of the anchor object is created in the single-container snapshot format, and the anchor object is updated to point to the selected object. the data of the running point object of the storage object is then copied to the anchor object, and each processed object and the temporary snapshot object are removed.

Abstract: solutions for secure metering of hyperconverged infrastructures are disclosed. examples include: receiving a security token; accessing a secondary storage (e.g., cold storage, backups) using the security token; determining usage data for the secondary storage; generating a first message digest for a combination of the usage data and the security token; and transmitting, to a metering server, the usage data and the first message digest. in some examples, the combination of the usage data and the security token comprises a concatenation of the usage data and the security token. in some examples, the metering server requests verification usage data from the secondary storage, generates a second message digest for a combination of the verification usage data and the security token, and compares the first message digest with the second message digest. examples do not persist the security token on customer premises. examples leverage the usage data to optimize the secondary storage.
