Elastic capacity management of remote physical layer (R-PHY) nodes with a cloud Cable Modem Termination System (cCMTS) may be provided. First, a cCMTS instance may be spawned by an orchestrator. Next, the cCMTS instance may be synchronized with states of a physical Cable Modem Termination System (pCMTS). Underlay routing may then be configured between a plurality of remote physical layer (R-PHY) nodes and the cCMTS instance. Then a plurality of R-PHY node connections respectively corresponding to the plurality of R-PHY nodes may be switched from the pCMTS to the cCMTS instance.

Elastic capacity management with a cloud cable modem termination system (cCMTS)

A system and method for management of network monitoring information includes a non-transient memory and one or more processors coupled to the non-transient memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transient memory to cause the information handling system to perform operations, The operations include collecting real-time network monitoring information from one or more network switching units, storing the collected real-time network monitoring information in a data storage system using a first column family, periodically aggregating the collected real-time network monitoring information to generate corresponding history information, storing the aggregated history information in the data storage system using a second column family different from the first column family, retrieving information from the data storage system based on one or more first queries, the stored real-time network monitoring information, and the stored aggregated history information, and providing the retrieved information for use during network monitoring.

System and method for management of network monitoring information

Aspects of the present invention include employing a distributed, scalable, autonomous resource discovery, management, and stitching system. In embodiments of the present invention, intelligent distribution systems and methods are employed in an autonomous resource discovery, management, and stitching systems. In embodiments of the present invention a set of rules or parameters may be used to determine whether a request for resources should be forwarded to other nodes. In embodiments of the present invention, an intelligent distribution engine selects the node to be used when more than one database instance can fulfill a request.

Systems and methods for an intelligent, distributed, autonomous, and scalable resource discovery, management, and stitching

In one embodiment, a method is performed by a computer system. The method includes creating an integrated topology model (ITM) instance of interconnected topology objects. The ITM instance includes a physical infrastructure topology model (PITM) instance comprising first interconnected topology objects, a virtual infrastructure topology model (VITM) instance comprising second interconnected topology objects, a network service topology model (NSTM) instance comprising third interconnected topology objects and inter-model linking information. The method also includes generating dependencies between the interconnected topology objects of the ITM instance based, at least in part, on the inter-model linking information. Further, the method includes generating a dependency graph based, at least in part, on the dependencies. The method also includes outputting at least a portion of the dependency graph for presentation to a user.

Systems and methods for multilayer monitoring of network function virtualization architectures

The present invention relates generally to a distributed database environment. Aspects of the present invention include employing a distributed, scalable, autonomous resource discovery, management, and stitching system for use in the database. In embodiments of the present invention a database instance architecture can be used where each database instance maintains management of the database instance rather than the entire environment. In embodiments of the present invention each database instance includes an autonomous management system capable of communicating with autonomous management systems of other database instances to allocate and share resources between database instances.

Systems and methods for autonomous, scalable, and distributed database management

Aspects of the present invention provide systems and methods that facilitate communicating a message, independent of a centralized resource, to be retrieved at a future time. In embodiments, a computing device receives a configuration-related message via a block chain maintained by a plurality of decentralized nodes. In embodiments, upon verification of the authenticity of the message, the device will execute the deferred instructions indicated in the message. In embodiments, the instructions may be add functionality or not allow functionality in the device. In embodiments, the instructions may indicate that a smart package should allow the end user to access contents of the package or to not allow access to the contents.

Deferred configuration or instruction execution using a secure distributed transaction ledger

Aspects of the present invention provide systems and methods that allow for a generic, decentralized system that is independent of a centralized resource and allows for the reporting and protecting of all types of smart devices including smart phones, laptop, tablets, or smart packages, and the like. In embodiments, the device comprises a security module or modules that interface with a decentralized network that maintains a secure distributed transactional ledger, or block chain, in order to send and/or receive data via the block chain. In embodiments, the device may not operate when its ability to access a communication channel provided via secure distributed transactional ledger has been impeded or otherwise hindered.

Device reporting and protection systems and methods using a secure distributed transactional ledger

Various embodiments of the present invention provide for secure and flexible access to the contents of a smart package in the chain of transportation. In embodiments, access is automatically controlled by a security authentication adaptor based on an authentication mechanism that adapts to changing security environments during transportation. In embodiments, a level of required authentication is adjusted depending on situational, contextual awareness that is achieved via sensors coupled to a context state detector to monitor and detect a transportation state of the smart package. Based on the transportation state, a security state machine dynamically adjust a risk level associated with the transportation state and instructs an authentication module apply, in response to an authentication request, one or more authentication methods based on the risk level.

Dynamic authentication adaptor systems and methods

A system and method for management of network monitoring information includes a data collector for collecting real-time network information from network switching units, an aggregator for periodically aggregating the collected real-time network information and generating corresponding history information, a preprocessor for periodically determining results for first queries based on the collected real-time network information and the history information, a data storage system, and a data retriever for retrieving information from the data storage system. The data storage system stores the collected real-time network information, the aggregated history information, and the preprocessed results of the first queries. The data storage system also periodically purges the stored real-time information based on a first time-to-live value and the stored history information based on a second time-to-live value. The information is retrieved based on the stored real-time network and history information, the stored preprocessed results of the first queries, the first queries, and second queries different from the first queries.
