A determination module using member profile data may determine the location of the entity. Member profile data can include information about a member's employer and the employer's location. The module accesses member profiles from a social network. Additionally, the module may create a subgroup of entity-related member profiles from the accessed member profiles. The entity-related member profiles can be associated with a specific entity. Furthermore, the module may determine a suggested location for the specific entity based on location information derived from the related member profiles.

| 20160065671 | CONSOLIDATED PROCESSING OF STORAGE-ARRAY COMMANDS BY A SNAPSHOT-CONTROL MEDIA AGENT - The illustrative systems and methods consolidate storage-array command channels into a media agent that executes outside the production environment. A “snapshot-control media agent” (“snap-MA”) is configured on a secondary storage computing device that operates apart from client computing devices. A “forwarder” media agent operates on each client computing device that uses the storage array, yet lacks command channels to the storage array. Likewise, a “forwarder” proxy media agent may operate without command channels to the storage array. No third-party libraries or storage-array-command devices are installed or needed on the host computing device. The forwarder media agent forwards any commands directed at the storage array to the snap-MA on the secondary storage computing device. The snap-MA receives and processes commands directed at the storage array that were forwarded by the forwarder media agents. Responses from the storage array are transmitted to the respective forwarder media agent. The snap-MA advantageously pools any number of storage-array-command devices so that capacity limitations in regard to communications channels at the storage array may be avoided. As a result, the snap-MA operating in conjunction with the forwarder media agents enable the illustrative system to consolidate the communication of storage-array commands away from client computing devices and/or proxy media agent hosts and into the secondary storage computing device that hosts the snap-MA. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160065672 | SYNCHRONIZATION OF PERMISSIONED CONTENT IN CLOUD-BASED ENVIRONMENTS - Enterprise administrators in a cloud-based environment including a cloud-based server and a repository can selectively impose permissions on items (e.g., files and folders) marked for synchronization (“sync items”). The sync items can be synchronized with the client devices of users by downloading the items along with the permission attributes from the cloud-based server. However, the permissions on those sync items means that any unpermitted changes to the local copies of the sync items do not get uploaded to the cloud-based server. A synchronization client on the client devices detects any changes made locally to the sync items that are not consistent with the permission attributes, and repairs those changes so that the sync items are restored to their most recent states. This ensures that any unauthorized changes made to sync items remain local and do not propagate by the synchronization process to other users. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160065673 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND MEDIUM FOR MANAGING PRIORITY IN REQUESTS TO IN-MEMORY DATA GRID (IMDG) - An in-memory data grid (IMDG) server includes an i/o interface for transmitting and receiving data over a network. A random access memory (RAM) is configured with the IMDG which stores plural different data sets that may be requested for retrieval by applications that can connect to the IMDG server through the network. A processor receives requests for retrieval of data from the IMDG data sets, and sends the requested data to the requesting application.
