METHODS AND APPARATUS TO CONTROL PROCESSING OF TELEMETRY DATA AT AN EDGE PLATFORM
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to control processing of telemetry data at an edge platform. An example apparatus includes an orchestrator interface to, responsive to an amount of resources allocated to an orchestrator to orchestrate a workload at the edge platform meeting a first threshold, transmit telemetry data associated with the orchestrator to a computer to obtain a first orchestration result at a first granularity; a resource management controller to determine a second orchestration result at a second granularity to orchestrate the workload at the edge platform, the second granularity finer than the first granularity; and a scheduler to schedule a workload assigned to the edge platform based on the second orchestration result.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTION OF AN ICS NETWORK BY AN HMI SERVER THEREIN
A defense suite for an industrial control system (ICS) network is disclosed. The defense suite is installed and executed on a network server hosting the human-machine interface (HMI) function of the network, thereby gaining communication privileges of the HMI server to query and perform other operations with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other assets of the network. The defense suite further comprises a network protection engine (NWPE) that alerts a defense suite user of suspicious activity in the network. Normal behavior of the network is obtained by a learning engine, during a learning period. The learning engine can be reactivated after a configuration change in the network. The data suite also comprises an operating system protection engine (OSPE), for preventing removable devices from accessing the HMI server and a preventing execution of unauthorized executables. The OSPE is also trained for which programs are authorized through its own program discovery module.
Enablement of software defined storage solution for NVME over ethernet fabric management on storage controller
A computer system includes a BMC and a host of the BMC. The BMC receives a first message from a first remote device on a management network. The BMC determines whether the first message is directed to a storage service or fabric service executed on a main processor of a storage controller of the host. The host is a storage device. The storage controller includes an RDMA controller in communication with the main processor through an internal communication channel of the storage controller. The RDMA controller is managed by the storage service. The BMC extracts a service management command from the first message, when the first message is directed to the storage service or fabric service. The BMC sends, through a BMC communication channel established for communicating baseboard management commands between the BMC and the host, a second message containing the service management command to the host.
Modular I/O configurations for edge computing using disaggregated chiplets
Various approaches for deployment and use of configurable edge computing platforms are described. In an edge computing system, an edge computing device includes hardware resources that can be composed from a configuration of chiplets, as the chiplets are disaggregated for selective use and deployment (for compute, acceleration, memory, storage, or other resources). In an example, configuration operations are performed to: identify a condition for use of the hardware resource, based on an edge computing workload received at the edge computing device; obtain, determine, or identify properties of a configuration for the hardware resource that are available to be implemented with the chiplets, with the configuration enabling the hardware resource to satisfy the condition for use of the hardware resource; and compose the chiplets into the configuration, according to the properties of the configuration, to enable the use of the hardware resource for the edge computing workload.
Auto-provisioning and auto-installation of server SAN target
A computer system includes a BMC and a host of the BMC. The BMC redirect, through a BMC communication channel, a local media including a disk management tool to a host of the BMC as a particular drive. The host is a storage device connected to one or more storage drives. The disk management tool is configured to prepare a storage area of the one or more storage drives for installation of storage service on the host. The storage service managing a RDMA controller at the host. The BMC configures the host to boot from the particular drive. The BMC sends a first instruction to the host instructing the BMC to reboot. The BMC receives from the host a command for reading the disk management tool. The BMC sends the disk management tool to the host.

Software defined network lifecycle tracking and management
A device in an evolved packet core (EPC) which includes a processor and a memory. The processor effectuates operations including receiving, from one or more devices residing within a customer premise equipment (CPE) portion of a telecommunications network, sensor data associated with one or more customers and in response to receiving the sensor data, generating a data request for an ecosystem status for the CPE portion of the telecommunications network. The processor further effectuates operations including obtaining customer information for the one or more customers and creating an analytics environment, using the customer information, for the one or more customers. The processor further effectuates operations including performing, within the analytics environment, analytics on the sensor data to determine a state of the CPE portion of the telecommunications network for the one or more customers and in response to performing analytics on the sensor data, optimizing the telecommunications network.
SDN flow path modification based on packet inspection
A network communication system may include intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in a ring communication network. A software-defined networking device may be programmed by a removable or disconnectable software-defined network (SDN) controller to control the flow path of data packets to the IEDs in the ring network. The software-defined networking device may inspect a data packet intended for a first IED to determine that the inspected data packet requests a responsive data packet from the first IED. A flow path failure may be identified based on a failure to detect a responsive data packet from the first IED within an expected response time.
