The present invention discloses a system and method for data management whereby a data management application manages data across a managed service environment, a mail server environment, and a client environment. The present invention allows a customer to optimize data management functions such as archiving, recovering, monitoring, authenticating, synchronizing, transferring, copying, stubbing, chunking, harvesting, and securing.

System and method for managing data across multiple environments

A unified network service that connects multiple disparate private networks and end user client devices operating on separate networks is described. The multiple disparate private networks and end user client devices connect to a distributed cloud computing network that provides routing services, security services, and performance services, and that can be controlled consistently regardless of the connection type. The unified network service provides uniform access control at the L3 layer (e.g., at the IP layer) or at a higher layer using user identity information (e.g., a zero-trust model). The disparate private networks are run on top of the distributed cloud computing network. The virtual routing layer of the distributed cloud computing network allows customers of the service to have private resources visible only to client devices (e.g., user devices of the customer and/or server devices of the customer) of the organization while using address space that potentially overlaps with other customers of the distributed cloud computing network.

A server receives a request for a document from a client device. The server determines from the request that the client device is a mobile client device. The server determines that the requested document is not for an optimized mobile version and that there is an optimized mobile version of the document that is located at a different location. Instead of transmitting the requested document to the client device, the server transmits a redirect message to the client device to the optimized mobile version of the document. The server receives a request for the optimized mobile version of the document, retrieves that version of the document, and transmits that version of the document to the mobile client device.

Automatically redirecting mobile client devices to optimized mobile content

A server in a content delivery network (CDN) receives a request for a web page of a domain handled by an origin server. The server retrieves the web page and the web page references a video. The server retrieves a file that indicates a list of locations of the domain in which segments of the video are located. The server fetches at least an initial portion of the segments. The server receives a request for the video. The server transmits to the requester at least the initial portion of the segments. The server receives a subsequent request of a different portion of the segments. The server transmits a response to the requester that instructs the requester to transmit the request for the different portion of segments to a second server in the CDN.

The method and system of the present invention provides an improved technique for processing email during an unplanned outage. Email messages are redirected from the primary server to a secondary server during an unplanned outage such as, for example, a natural disaster. A notification message is sent to users alerting them that their email messages are available on the secondary server by, for example, Internet access. After the termination of the unplanned outage, email messages received during the unplanned outage are synchronized into the users standard email application.

A method and system for optimization of an advertisement in a network resource in a proxy server of a cloud-based proxy service are described. Responsive to determining that there is an advertisement element in a network resource, the proxy server automatically modifies the advertisement element. The automatic modification of the advertisement element includes: 1) compressing style code into compressed style code; 2) compressing the image; and 3) compressing the style generation code. The proxy server generates a modified version of the network resource including the modified version of the advertisement element, where the modified version of the advertisement element is smaller in size than the advertisement element included in the network resource retrieved from the origin server; and transmits the modified version of the network resource to the client device instead of the network resource.

A system and method for multi-source transaction processing receives order requests from a client system operated by a user. The order requests may include order placements and order inquiries. For example, an order request may be a placement for a computer system and associated peripherals. The user may have particular fulfillment organization preferences, and different components of the computer system and associated peripherals may be fulfilled by different fulfillment partners. Accordingly, the orders order requests are processed by an order request servicing system to, for example, split the order request into multiple processed order requests and each of the processed order requests is associated with an order request management system and prepared for transmission to the associated order request management system. The order request management systems can utilize the processed order requests to fulfill the order request. The order request management systems transmit order request management system data which provides, for example, order status information, financial information, and other data. The order request servicing system may, for example, internally process the order request management system data associated with an order request, transmit the order request management system data to the client system, or transmit the order request management system data to another system depending upon the nature of the order request management system data. Thus, the order request servicing system can transparently link users to one or more order request management systems. Additionally, the order request management systems can be linked together over a network, such as the Internet, to provide a network of order request management systems.

A method for automated control of bid pricing for bidding on online placements in an automated real-time online auction system during the loading or rendering of network-based digital content. Historical bid result data regarding a particular placement is collected by a bidding system, which segments the bid result data into multiple categories and generates multiple pricing curves for the particular placement based on the segmented bid result data. The bidding system then uses the multiple pricing curves for making bidding decisions in real-time. The bidding system receives a series of bid requests, each identifying a placement in digital content being loaded or rendered. For each received bid request, the bidding system, in real-time, identifies segmenting characteristic(s) associated with the bid request, and performs a bidding analysis&#x2014;including whether to submit a bid and determining a bid price&#x2014;based on the identified segmenting characteristic(s) associated with the bid request.

A method and system for dynamically optimizing a script library are described. A request for a script library is received from a set of client devices. An instrumented version of the script library is transmitted to at least one of the set of client devices. The instrumented version of the script library includes code for tracing execution of the script library. Responsive to execution of the instrumented version of the script library at each one of the at least one of client devices, script library usage feedback indicative of usage of the script library at these client devices is received. An optimized version of the script library, generated based on the script library usage feedback by removing portions of the script library that are unused by the subset of client devices, is transmitted to the client device instead of the script library in response to a second request.
