Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying an optimal cluster configuration for performing a job in a remote cluster computing system. In some examples, one or more applications and a sample of a production load as part of a job for a remote cluster computing system is received. Different clusters of nodes are instantiated in the remote cluster computing system to form different cluster configurations. Multi-Linear regression models segmented into different load regions are trained by running at least a portion of the sample on the instantiated different clusters of nodes. Expected completion times of the production load across varying cluster configurations are identified using the multi-linear regression models. An optimal cluster configuration of the varying cluster configurations is determined for the job based on the identified expected completion times.

A cloud proxy communicates over a public network with a network proxy in a private network. The network proxy communicates with the public network through a firewall. The cloud proxy receives from a requester a request to communicate with a remote device in the private network. The cloud proxy creates first forwarding rules to forward traffic from the requester to the network proxy and from the network proxy to the requester. The cloud proxy sends the request to the network proxy, which causes the network proxy to create second forwarding rules to forward traffic from the network proxy to the remote device and from the remote device to the cloud proxy. A communication tunnel through the firewall device between the cloud proxy and the network proxy is established over which the southbound and northbound traffic is forwarded based on the first forwarding rules and the second forwarding rules.

Creation of remote direct access path via internet to firewalled device using multi-site session forwarding

A method and system for transferring licenses between electronic devices supporting licensable features. Specifically, in a method a request is generated for transferring a license between first and second electronic devices. The request includes first information unique to the first electronic device, second information unique to the second electronic device. The request is sent to a license distributor to generates a master key. The master key includes a removal key including the first information and an add key including the second information. The removal key is used to remove the license from the first electronic device when the first information matches official versions of the first information. The add key is revealed from the master key when the license is successfully removed. The add key is used to add the license to the second electronic device when the second information matches official versions of the second information.

Method and system for transferring software and hardware feature licenses between devices

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request to provision a first customer interface to a service instance, and identifying a resource capacity for a resource associated with a service controller of a system. A determination is made as to whether a sum of resource requirements for a first set of customer interfaces that does not include the first customer interface exceeds the resource capacity. The method further includes provisioning the first customer interface to the service instance if it is determined that the sum of the customer instance resource requirements does not exceed the resource capacity.

Admission control for virtualized services in routers

One embodiment in accordance with the invention is a method. For example, the method can include receiving a plurality of control plane messages. A determination can be made as to whether a processor card of a router is experiencing sustained congestion from the plurality of control plane messages. Provided the processor card is experiencing sustained congestion, a source of the sustained congestion can be identified. A correction phase can be entered in order to respond to the source of the sustained congestion.

A method and system for transferring licenses between electronic devices supporting licensable features. Specifically, in a method a request is generated for transferring a license between first and second electronic devices. The request includes first information unique to the first electronic device, second information unique to the second electronic device. The request is sent to a license distributor to generate a master key. The master key includes a removal key including the first information and an add key including the second information. The removal key is used to remove the license from the first electronic device when the first information matches official versions of the first information. The add key is revealed from the master key when the license is successfully removed. The add key is used to add the license to the second electronic device when the second information matches official versions of the second information.

What is disclosed is a method of updating a message from a first version to an upgraded version by chaining through intermediate versions, including the steps of receiving an update message having a first version format, and repeatedly generating a revised update message having a next most recent version format based on the update message until a final update message having an upgraded version format is generated. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.

Method and apparatus for upgrading a database in a redundant environment by release chaining

A system and method to detect non-native storage components to manage configuration in a communications network are disclosed. A stored key set is retrieved from each storage component of a network switch in a communications network, the stored key set identifying each storage component in relation to the switch. The stored key set of each storage component is validated. Finally, a new key set is generated for each storage component if the stored key set is an invalid key set.

One embodiment of the invention includes a system for overriding an operation of an electronic device. The system includes an override hardware logic that is communicatively coupled with a monitoring system. The monitoring system can output an electronic command signal in response to a detected point of failure associated with the system. In response to receiving the electronic command signal, the override hardware logic can override the operation performed by the electronic device in order to compensate for the detected point of failure.

Method to increase system availability of critical hardware components

A system and method to provide node-to-node connectivity in a communications network are disclosed. A virtual connection is established between a source node coupled to a client and a destination node within the connection-oriented network using standards-based signaling. A communication session is then activated between the client and the destination node on the virtual connection.

Components to be verified for compatibility are identified. Each of the components maintains a relationship with the other components such that all of the components are compatible with one another. A change to one component triggers an automatic evaluation of the relationships between the changed component and the other components to determine if compatibility is maintained. The automatic evaluation of the relationships is based on predetermined compatibility information provided in a compatibility matrix. When the automatic evaluation identifies incompatibility between the changed component and the other components, the change is rejected.
