20130268650 | ENTERPRISE LEVEL DATA COLLECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODOLOGIES - An enterprise data collection system including at least one database for receiving over a network and storing data collected from data resources at a plurality of physical sites located at disparate locations, a plurality of remotely synchronizable probes (RSPs) located at the plurality of physical sites, the remotely synchronizable probes (RSPs) performing at least one of the following data collection functions: real time event collection, file system crawling for data structure and permissions, data content analysis, data indexing, data tagging and event triggered alerts, and at least one RSP manager located remotely from at least one of the plurality of remotely synchronizable probes and being operative to govern the operation of and orchestrate data collection and transmission by the plurality of remotely synchronizable probes (RSPs). | 2013-10-10 |
20130268651 | CONTENT PACKAGE MODIFICATION BASED ON PERFORMANCE DATA - The performance of a content package can be influenced by a variety of factors, at least some of which can be identified by analyzing user interaction events. The user interaction events can be analyzed to generate data representative of the current performance of the content package. Based on the performance data, one or more modifications can be identified and recommended to the content package owner. A modification can include a change in file size, a change in encoding quality, a change in a component, and/or a change in a presentation rule. | 2013-10-10 |
20130268652 | OPPORTUNISTIC SYSTEM SCANNING - Opportunistic scans can be performed by identifying, using at least one processing device, a detection of a particular computing device on a network of a computing environment. At least one scan to be performed on the detected particular computing device can be is identified and a particular scan engine, in a plurality of scan engines, is identified that is adapted to perform the at least one scan. The at least one scan is caused to be performed on the detected particular computing device while the detected particular computing device is on the network using the particular scan engine. | 2013-10-10 |
20130268653 | System for Distributing Requests Across Multiple Servers Using Dynamic Metrics - A system for distributing incoming client requests across multiple servers in a networked client-server computer environment processes all requests as a set that occur within a given time interval and collects information on the attributes of the requests and the resource capability of the servers to dynamically allocate requests in a set to the appropriate servers upon completion of the time interval. Preferably, a request table collects at least two requests incoming within a predetermined time interval, a request examiner routine analyzes each collected request with respect to at least one attribute, a system status monitor collects resource capability information of each server in a resource table and an optimization and allocation process distributes collected requests in the request table across the multiple servers upon completion of said time interval based on an optimization of potential pairings of the requests in the request table with servers in the resource table. | 2013-10-10 |
20130268654 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATION IN AD-HOC NETWORKS - In a particular embodiment, a method includes determining, by a first device, a number of discovery messages received during at least one discovery interval. Based on the number of discovery messages, an estimated number of devices in an ad-hoc network is determined The method further includes transmitting, during a second discovery interval that is subsequent to the at least one discovery interval, a discovery message. The discovery message indicates the estimated number of devices in the ad-hoc network. | 2013-10-10 |
20130268655 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGEMENT OF A VIRTUAL NETWORK CONNECTION WITHOUT HEARTBEAT MESSAGES - Systems and methods for management of a network connection without heartbeat messages are disclosed. One embodiment of a distributed proxy system performs a method for the communication of state between a client and a server in a distributed content delivery network using a state map. The state map sets a predicted communication correspondence frequency and thus eliminates the use or need of heart beat messages to manage session state and/or convey health status of system components. | 2013-10-10 |
