50 results about "Failover" patented technology

In computing and related technologies such as networking, failover is switching to a redundant or standby computer server, system, hardware component or network upon the failure or abnormal termination of the previously active application, server, system, hardware component, or network. Failover and switchover are essentially the same operation, except that failover is automatic and usually operates without warning, while switchover requires human intervention.

Network quality of service based on application context

ActiveUS12652236B2TransmissionQos quality of serviceFailover
An information handling system stores telemetry data for the information handling system. A processor collects the telemetry data and determines a target application associated with the telemetry data. The processor sets a quality of service for the target application based on a context of the target application. The processor determines whether a first network path or a failover network path associated with the target application is a preferred network path. In response to the first network path being the preferred network path, the processor provides the telemetry data from the target application over the first network path. In response to the failover network path being the preferred network path, the processors failover the target application to the failover network path. The telemetry data is provided based on the quality of service.

Coordinated backup of failover databases across multiple datacenters

ActiveUS12664054B2Redundant hardware error correctionFailoverTransaction log
Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. Techniques described herein may enable a database management system (DMS) to link databases of a failover group that spans multiple data centers across different clusters for the different datacenters. For example, a centralized control entity may indicate to the clusters in different datacenters that one or more databases in a first datacenter are in a same failover group as one or more other databases in a second datacenter. A database of the first datacenter may be a primary backup database from which a first cluster in the first datacenter may obtain transaction log backups. The first cluster of the datacenter may replicate the backups to a second cluster of a second datacenter, which may enable the second cluster to refrain from obtaining backups from a secondary backup database within the second datacenter.

Forechannel connections are established from client-side deduplication libraries to a namespace node of a set of namespace nodes formed as a cluster. The namespace nodes are responsible for namespace operations on files managed by a deduplication filesystem. The forechannel connections are responsible for carrying file data between the client-side deduplication libraries and the namespace node. Server-initiated connections are established from the namespace node to the client-side deduplication libraries. The server-initiated connections are responsible for carrying instructions from the namespace node to the client-side deduplication libraries. While a transfer of file data is in progress, the client-side deduplication libraries are instructed over the server-initiated connections to failover the transfer to one or more other namespace nodes. After the failover, the namespace node is upgraded.

Plan cache hydration for database systems

A computing network provides a database service and implements a caching mechanism for processing database queries. The database services are provided using a primary replica of data and computing resources, and a secondary replica of the data and computing resources. The primary and secondary replicas are synchronized so that the secondary replica can provide the database services in place of the primary replica in response to a failover from the primary replica to the secondary replica. In response to initiating, by the database service, a failover from the primary replica to the secondary replica, the cached plans compiled by the secondary replica are used to process matching query batches by the secondary replica. The secondary replica processes the matching query batches without accessing plans compiled by the primary replica.

A method and system of ultra-fast retrieval supporting single machine and cluster deployment (lightweight native memory architecture)

PendingCN122285627AComputer architectureAttack
This invention discloses a high-speed retrieval method and system (lightweight native memory architecture) supporting single-machine and cluster deployment, relating to the fields of data retrieval, distributed clusters, and in-memory computing. This invention designs 20 core sub-logic items that can be implemented independently, combined arbitrarily, and integrated with other architectures. Based on a native memory direct control architecture, it has no dependencies on third-party databases, index engines, or middleware, adapts to low / medium / high-configuration servers, and supports seamless expansion in single-machine, multi-instance parallel, and distributed cluster modes. Retrieval response speed and concurrency capacity increase linearly with hardware configuration and the number of cluster nodes. This invention achieves targeted retrieval of structured data and eliminates redundant computation through core sub-logic such as full-scale one-time loading in memory, bidirectional reading with one-time sorting, and dual sliding window hotspot caching. On a low-configuration server with 2 cores and 2GB of RAM (single data ≤1KB), the core time for multi-condition retrieval of tens of millions of general-purpose structured data is ≤10ms, supporting 1000+ concurrent retrieval requests, and achieving 99.99% system stability under a fully closed-loop deployment. By employing sub-logic such as incremental synchronous seamless hot updates, low-load asynchronous backups, and layered fallback high availability, this invention achieves uninterrupted data maintenance and 1ms failover for node failures. A fallback node idle-time load-sharing mechanism improves hardware utilization. Three-layer security protection is decoupled from the retrieval process, achieving an illegal attack interception rate of ≥99.9% with protection-introduced latency ≤1ms. Any sub-logic of this invention can be individually embedded into a traditional retrieval architecture for lightweight upgrades, or combined or implemented in a closed loop for synergistic effects. It is widely adaptable to structured and hierarchical data retrieval scenarios across industries such as e-commerce, logistics, government affairs, and finance, significantly reducing deployment, upgrade, and maintenance costs. This invention addresses the industry pain points of existing retrieval systems, such as poor low-configuration compatibility, wasted high-configuration computing power, and difficulty in balancing security and efficiency, demonstrating high commercial and promotional value.

When a faulty node needs failover, a target migration node is determined based on the faulty node's state topology diagram, and the faulty node's service data is synchronously migrated to the target migration node, enabling the target migration node to continue executing the power IoT tasks of the faulty node. This invention enables smooth and uninterrupted service migration, improving the continuity and stability of power IoT service task execution.

Selecting a network file system (NFSV3) node in a cluster as a failover in a scale out data protection appliance

An NFS export is created on a node of a data protection appliance. The export includes a backup to be accessed by an access object service hosted by the node. The node is in a cluster of nodes including other AOB services and NFSv3 servers accessible via external IP addresses. Each AOB service has access to other portions of the filesystem assigned to other AOB services. The export is mounted at an NFSv3 client which conducts data protection IO on the export using an external IP address to the node. A mapping of the export is maintained. Upon a node failure, resource utilization of other nodes is probed to select a failover node. The mapping is consulted to identify the IP address associated with the failed node.
