The disclosure provides an approach for cross-network communication by self-replicating applications. Embodiments include identifying, by a first instance of a self-replicating application on a first computing device having a first network connection to a parent component, a second computing device that is connected to the first computing device via a second network connection. Embodiments include self-replicating, by the first instance of the self-replicating application, across the second network connection to produce a second instance of the self-replicating application on the second computing device. Embodiments include initiating, by the first instance of the self-replicating application, a proxy tunnel on the first computing device. Embodiments include receiving, by the proxy tunnel, a first communication from the second instance of the self-replicating application via the second network connection. Embodiments include sending, by the proxy tunnel, based on the first communication, a second communication to the parent component via the first network connection.

In some examples, a computing device may communicate with a plurality of network storage systems, such as a first network storage system provided by a first service provider employing a first storage protocol and a second network storage system provided by a second service provider employing a second storage protocol different from the first storage protocol. The computing device receives a first object, and determines, for the first object, a first remote bucket at the first network storage system and a second remote bucket at the second network storage system. The computing device may add a synchronization event to a queue for replicating the first object to the first remote bucket and the second remote bucket. Based on consuming the synchronization event from the queue, the computing device replicates data and metadata of the first object to the first remote bucket and the second remote bucket.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing cross device messaging and enhanced synchronization of messages. In some configurations, a distributed service platform may store a user profile. The user profile may include device information (i) indicating active devices associated with the user profile and capabilities of the active devices and (ii) one or more potential relay devices for relaying messages to the active devices. The user profile may be provided to a first device among the active devices referenced in the device information. A signal may be received from the first device that includes a message designating one or more recipient devices from the active devices. One or more relay devices may be selected from the one or more potential relay devices in response to receiving the signal, and the signal may be sent to the one or more relay devices.

An endpoint of a distributed federation with proxy synchronization including a data center infrastructure, a storage, and an endpoint. The storage stores a state of the data infrastructure and further stores a mirrored state for each of at least one other endpoint. The endpoint includes a communication interface for communicating via a communication network, where the endpoint, in response to receiving a command via the communication interface for changing the mirrored state, forwards the command towards an endpoint that owns the mirrored state via the communication interface. Commands may be forwarded directly or indirectly via one or more intermediary endpoints. An owner endpoint receives a command, updates its local state, and sends one or more events to one or more proxy endpoints to update corresponding mirrored states. A restricted proxy endpoint may store a partial mirrored state. The federation may support bidirectional sharing, synchronization, and resource data sharing.

An orthogonal or multi-dimensional fabric user interface is described herein. A remote server executes an operating system that stores content in a multi-dimensional fabric. Multiple users can access a common virtual space to view content that is stored in the multi-dimensional fabric at a specific location and time. The users request the specific location and time. The remote server accesses the multi-dimensional fabric to anchor content within the common virtual space based on the specific location and time. In this way, multiple users experience location and time driven content together.

An information processing apparatus including: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to: in a network coupling a plurality of storage nodes, at least one proxy, and at least one client; collect information of accesses executed most by the at least one client via the at least one proxy on a path of each access; based on the information of accesses, calculate network distances between the plurality of storage nodes and the at least one proxy; and based on the network distances, determine a leader to be one of the plurality of storage nodes that is close to one of the at least one proxy accessed most frequently.

A method includes receiving identifiers of a set of computing devices to participate in a cross-device data visualization session; sending a data set to each computing device and instructions to display a first portion of the data set; receiving an interaction with one of the identified computing devices requesting another computing device to display a second portion of the data set; sending an instruction to display the second portion of the data set to the at least some of the other identified computing devices, where the instruction is sent without sending at least some of the second portion after receiving the interaction and the instruction causes the at least some of the other identified computing devices to execute the instructions on the at least some of the second portion of the data set that is present at the at least some of the other identified computing devices.
