A system for processing data, comprising a compute node having a first processor that is configured to receive a digital data message containing a request for computing services and to allocate processing resources on a private network as a function of the request. A smart network interface controller (NIC) management system operating on a second processor and configured to cause the second processor to select a smart NIC associated with the private network to allocate the smart NIC to the computing services. The smart NIC includes a processor that is configured to interface with a public network and to send and receive data over the public network associated with the computing services.

The method and system of the present invention provides an improved technique for processing email during an unplanned outage. Email messages are redirected from the primary server to a secondary server during an unplanned outage such as, for example, a natural disaster. A notification message is sent to users alerting them that their email messages are available on the secondary server by, for example, Internet access. After the termination of the unplanned outage, email messages received during the unplanned outage are synchronized into the users standard email application.

A method is provided for a hyper-converged storage-compute system to implement an active-active failover architecture for providing Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) target service. The method intelligently selects multiple hosts to become storage nodes that process iSCSI input/output (I/O) for a target. The method further enables iSCSI persistent reservation (PR) to handle iSCSI I/Os from multiple initiators.

A method comprises executing a testing operation on a plurality of redundant components of an edge device. In one example, based, at least in part, on the testing operation, at least one redundant component of the plurality of redundant components is identified as having an operational issue, and the at least one redundant component is deactivated in response to the identifying. One or more remaining redundant components of the plurality of redundant components are utilized in one or more operations following the testing operation.

Systems and techniques, including special messages and state machines, are described that configures an intermediate site to dynamically trigger creation of and removal of a dynamic conduit between two sites based on usage that is tracked at the sites. The intermediate site providing WAN-to-WAN forwarding between the two sites, monitors throughput statistics on each local WAN link (LWL) associated with the two sites. If traffic between the two sites passes a configured first threshold or if LWL usage passes a configured second threshold, the intermediate site sends a message to the two sites to set up a dynamic conduit directly coupling the two sites. Busy lists are used to keep track of eligible site pairs. Once a dynamic conduit is set up between two sites, a grow technique tests the dynamic conduit increasing communication flows between the two sites each configured sampling period before putting the conduit in normal use.

An output control apparatus that controls opening and closing between an output terminal connected to an external apparatus and a power supply terminal to which power for the external apparatus is supplied is provided. The output control apparatus includes a first switching element and a second switching element that are connected in series between the power supply terminal and the output terminal, a data generation portion that generates output data for turning on and off the first switching element and the second switching element based on a control command received from outside, a first controller that controls drive of the first switching element, and a second controller that controls drive of the second switching element.

A data processing system includes a sensor data acquisition circuit configured to acquire sensor data from at least one sensor and a server circuit configured to receive the sensor data from the sensor data acquisition circuit and to forward the sensor data to a processing unit. The sensor data transmission path from the sensor data acquisition circuit to the server circuits might be setup as a static configuration. Any physical connection issue between the sensor data acquisition circuits and the server circuits would force the system to pre-defined data routing configurations.

Apparatus and methods for controlling unmanned systems (UMSs), such as unmanned aircraft, are provided. A UMS can be provided that includes a network, auxiliary systems, and a payload, where the network can connect the auxiliary systems and the payload. A network switch of the network can logically separate the network into at least a second tier of communications and a third tier of communications. The network can be used to control the UMS by at least: controlling the auxiliary systems using messages communicated by the second tier of communications, and communicating with the payload using messages communicated by the third tier of communications.

Examples described herein relate to failover of processes from a first network interface device to a second network interface device. A first programmable network interface device includes a network interface, a direct memory access (DMA) circuitry, a host interface, and at least one processor to execute a first process. A second programmable network interface device includes a network interface, a DMA circuitry, a host interface, and at least one processor. The at least one processor of the second programmable network interface device is to perform failover execution of the first process.

A customer may use a disaster recovery service to generate a disaster recovery scenario in order to make certain resources available to the customer in the event of a data region failure. The customer may specify a recovery point objective, a recovery time objective and a recovery data region for the scenario. Accordingly, the disaster recovery service may coordinate with one or more other services provided by the computing resource service provider to reproduce the customer resources and other resources necessary to support the customer resources. These reproduced resources may be transferred to the recovery data region based at least in part on the parameters specified by the customer. In the event of a data region failure, the disaster recovery service may update the domain name system to resolve any customer requests for the customer resources to the recovery data region.
