    Abstract: A method, including receiving, by a secure processor housed in a disaster-proof casing located at a local site, recurring wireless signals from an application server and from a storage system that are collocated with the processor at the local site, the application server configured to store data to the primary storage system, and to mirror the data to a remote site, each of the wireless signals indicating a status of the application server or the storage system at a given time. A status log including the respective statuses of the application server and the storage system at the received times is stored to a memory in the casing, and subsequent to failures of the application server, the storage system and the mirroring, the status log analyzed to compute a data loss at the local site resulting from the failures of the application server, the storage system, and the mirroring.

    Abstract: Technologies for managing fault recovery in a cloud computing environment may be used after faults of various sizes, including faults which put total functioning capacity below subscribed capacity. Computing services have repair priorities. A fault recovery manager selects a higher priority service whose capacity is below a minimum availability, and chooses a lower priority service still above its minimal availability, and reassigns capacity from the lower priority service to the higher priority service without depriving the lower priority service of operability. Capacity reassignment continues at least until the higher priority service is at or above minimal availability, or the lower priority service is at minimal availability. Lower priority services may also be terminated entirely to free up resources for higher priority services. New deployments may be prevented until all services are at or above minimal availability. Spare capacity may be reserved against demand fluctuations or further faults.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are innovations in memory management and data recovery for systems that operate using storage class memory (SCM), such as non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). The disclosed innovations have particular application to production database systems, where reducing database downtime in the event of a system crash is highly desirable. Embodiments of the disclosed technology can address a variety of problems that exist during a system crash. For example, embodiments of the disclosed technology can be used to address the loss of the physical memory mapping and/or the loss of the CPU cache that typically occurs in the event of a system crash. Furthermore, embodiments of the disclosed technology can be used to prevent data inconsistency and/or memory leak problems that may arise in the event of a system crash.
