Technologies for initiating communication with an unreachable node are disclosed. In an embodiment, a connector sub-network is interposed between a connection network and a member sub-network. A connector node of the connector sub-network is identified and used to initiate communication between a member node and a target node in the connection network.

Establishing communication between nodes on a connection network

Techniques for managing multiple computing systems are provided. A system comprises a content delivery system (CDS) and an entity identification system (EIS). The CDS causes a content item that is associated with a content delivery campaign to be delivered over a computer network to a computing device of a user. The CDS detects that the user performed an action relative to the content item and, in response, creates an action record that indicates a particular entity associated with the user and that indicates an account that is associated with the content item and causes the action record to be made available to the EIS. The EIS, based on the account indicated in the action record, identifies a particular account from among multiple accounts indicated in an account database and searches the particular account for an entity (if any) that matches the particular entity.

Signal generation for one computer system based on online activities of entities with respect to another computer system

Implementations are directed to providing a data custodian region within a public cloud, the data custodian region being specific to a customer of an enterprise having services hosted on the public cloud, the public cloud including regional data centers, through which customer data passes and/or is stored, each data center being at a location within a region, storing at least one union definition that is used to control access, transfer, and storage of customer data within respective regional data centers, the at least one union definition being provided by a data custodian associated with the customer, monitoring a plurality of actions of respective workflows executed using the one or more computer-implemented services hosted on the public cloud, for each action, logging a data event within a repository of the data custodian region, and determining whether the data event complies with the at least one union definition.

Data custodian model and platform for public clouds

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing network expansion. A method includes receiving an indicator that identifies a goal, identifying a target organization at an online social networking service to satisfy the goal, ranking members of the online social networking service that are also members of the target organization according to their respective ability to influence satisfaction of the goal, determining a connection path to one of the higher ranked members, and recommending, to a member, a connection to a next member identified by the connection path.

Managing network expansion

Techniques for presenting a profile card personalized to a member of a social network are described. A first viewer profile can be selected, using member data, from a list of profiles of viewers having viewed a first member profile of a first member, the member data having profile attributes associated with each profile. Additionally, a profile card can be generated for the selected first viewer profile based on the profile attributes associated with the first viewer profile. Moreover, a relevance score for a first highlight associated with the selected first viewer profile can be calculated based on the member data of the first member profile. Furthermore, the profile card can be updated to include the first highlight when the calculated relevance score for the first highlight is higher than a predetermined threshold value. Subsequently, a user interface can cause a presentation of the profile card on a display of a device of the first member.
