An information handling system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores telemetry data, telemetry collection rules, and persona classifications for the information handling system. The processor collects first telemetry data for the information handling system based on first telemetry collection rules. The first telemetry collection rules are set based on a first persona classification for the information handling system. The processor determines whether user behaviors change from behaviors associated with the first persona classification. In response to an amount of change in the user behaviors being above a threshold amount, the processor changes a classification of the information handling system from the first persona classification to a second persona classification. In response to the classification of the information handling system being the second persona classification, the processor collects second telemetry data for the information handling system based on second telemetry collection rules of the second persona classification.

Adaptive collection of telemetry data

An information handling system includes a delay controller having an analytics engine configured to analyze telemetry data associated with an installation of a program, to calculate a confidence index based upon the analyzed telemetry data, and to generate a recommendation corresponding to the calculated confidence index. A download controller receives an end-user recommendation selection, and delays the installation of the program based upon a delay time in the received end-user recommendation selection.

Method and apparatus for improving data management in an information handling system

An information handling system includes a distribution management system configured to provide a software packet, the software packet including software and a smart contract. Target systems include a first tier of first target systems and a second tier of second target systems, wherein each one of the first target systems is grouped with at least one of the second target systems. A distribution management system provides the software packet to the first target systems. Each first target system executes the smart contract, and at least one first target system provides the software packet to at least one of the second target systems based upon the execution of the smart contract.

System and method for improved peer-to-peer software distribution

In some examples, a computing device may determine that an event occurred and determine event data associated with the event. A first machine learning classifier may be used to determine that the event data includes personally identifiable information (PII) and a second machine learning classifier may be used to remove the PII from the event data to create modified event data. The PII may include one or more of a username, a password, at least a portion of a legal name, a password, at least a portion of an address, at least a portion of a social security number, or at least a portion of an account number associated with a financial institution. The modified event data may be stored in a device data file that includes data associated with the computing device. In some cases, the computing device may send the device data file to a server.

Detecting personally identifiable information (PII) in telemetry data

In some examples, a server may receive telemetry data from a computing device. The server may determine based at least in part on the telemetry data, (1) a device (e.g., hardware and software) configuration associated with the computing device and (2) one or more events (e.g., an installation log, a memory dump, or the like) associated with installing a software package on the computing device. Based at least in part on the one or more events. the server may determine a stability index associated with the software package and associate the stability index with the device configuration. The stability index may indicate a probability of errors not occurring after the software package is installed. After determining that the stability index satisfies a predetermined threshold, the server may provide the software package and the associated stability index for download to one or more additional computing devices.
