An example file server manager updates a selected share of a destination distributed file server based on a snapshot of at least a portion of a selected share of a source distributed file server. The selected share of the destination distributed file server is updated while the source distributed file server serves client requests for storage items of the selected share of the source distributed file server. The file server manager receives a request to failover from the source distributed file server to the destination distributed file server and configures the destination distributed file server to service read and write requests for storage items of the selected share of the destination distributed file server. The file server manager further redirects client requests for storage items of the selected share of the source distributed file server to the destination distributed file server by updating active directory information.

A computer system is provided that includes at least one processor configured to execute a host virtual machine configured to host a session with at least one client computer device. The at least one processor is further configured to execute a web browser application configured to access media content from a remote media source, receive encoded media content from the remote media source in a media container format, and execute a multi-media redirection module configured to intercept the encoded media content from being processed by a decoding module of the web browser application. The multi-media redirection module is configured to redirect the encoded media content to the at least one client computer device.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for directing users to captive and open domains. Management of communications involving captive domains and open domains may comprise permitting and/or preventing certain communications at certain times.

A system and method is provided for performing lossless switching in a redundant multicast network. An exemplary method includes receiving a primary media stream and a redundant media stream over different forwarding network paths by network ports of a receiver communicatively coupled to an A/V device. Furthermore, the receiver outputs media data of the media streams to the A/V device to be presented thereon. In response to a control signal to switch the receiver to a new primary media stream, the method disconnected either the primary ort the redundant media streams from the respective network port of the receiver receiving that stream. Furthermore, the method includes controlling the disconnected network port to receive the new primary media stream and then outputting media data of the new primary media stream to the A/V device to be presented thereon.

The present invention is directed to methods and systems for determining a location of a vehicle within a geofence. The location of the vehicle is determined by a fencing agent on a vehicle. The geofence is defined by a plurality of geographic designators, with the plurality of geographic designators each being associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) address, preferably an IPv6 address.

Edge server compute capacity demand in an overlay network is predicted and used to pre-position compute capacity in advance of application-specific demands. Preferably, machine learning is used to proactively predict anticipated compute capacity needs for an edge server region (e.g., a set of co-located edge servers). In advance, compute capacity (application instances) are made available in-region, and data associated with an application instance is migrated to be close to the instance. The approach facilitates compute-at-the-edge services, which require data (state) to be close to a pre-positioned latency-sensitive application instance. Overlay network mapping (globally) may be used for more long-term positioning, with short-duration scheduling then being done in-region as needed. Compute instances and associated state are migrated intelligently based on predicted (e.g., machine-learned) demand, and with full data consistency enforced.
