Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a set of queries for data from a dataset stored in a first database instance. The program further determines that a value calculated based on a set of metrics associated with processing the set of queries for data from the dataset stored in the first database instance exceeds a threshold value. In response to the determination, the program also replicates the dataset from the first database instance to a second database instance.

Scaling for elastic query service system

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a query for data from a dataset stored in at least one database instance in a plurality of database instances. The program further determines a set of candidate database instances in the plurality of database instances that stores the dataset. The program also selects a database instance in the set of candidate database instances based on a set of metrics associated with the set of candidate database instances. The program further processes the query using the selected database instance.

Load balancing for elastic query service system

A system for locating and monitoring electronic devices utilizing a security system that is secretly and transparently embedded within the computer. This security system causes the client computer to periodically and conditionally call a host system to report its serial number via an encoded series of dialed numbers. A host monitoring system receives calls from various clients and determines which calls to accept and which to reject by comparing the decoded client serial numbers with a predefined and updated list of numbers corresponding to reported stolen computers. The host also concurrently obtains the caller ID of the calling client to determine the physical location of the client computer. The caller ID and the serial number are subsequently transmitted to a notifying station in order to facilitate the recovery of the stolen device. The security system remains hidden from the user, and actively resists attempts to disable it.
