ServiceNow Assigned Two Patents

Discovery of remote storage services and associated applications, discovery of cloud-based infrastructure and resources

Discovery of remote storage services and associated applications
ServiceNow, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, has been assigned a patent (11,089,117) developed by Feiguine, Alexandra, Sha’ar Efrayim, Israel, Aron, Aviya, Shafir, Israel, Bitterfeld, Robert, Solomon, Bary, Petah Tikva, Israel, Biran, Noam, Kfar Menachem, Israel, and Tal, Hail, Kohav Yair, Israel, for discovery of remote storage services and associated applications.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A discovery application may obtain, from a remote storage system configured to host storage structures, first data that identifies relationships among the storage structures. The discovery application may generate, based on the first data, a mapping of the storage structures, store the mapping as one or more configuration items, and provide, to the remote storage system, instructions configured to cause the remote storage system to notify the discovery application of modification events associated with the storage structures. The discovery application may receive, from the remote storage system, a notification of a modification event associated with a particular storage structure of the storage structures and, in response, obtain, from the remote storage system, second data that identifies a modification to the particular storage structure. The discovery application may modify the mapping based on the second data and store the modified mapping by updating the one or more configuration items.

The patent application was filed on June 1, 2020 (16/889,702).

Discovery of cloud-based infrastructure and resources
ServiceNow, Inc., Santa Clara, CA
, has been assigned a patent (11,089,115) developed by Garty, Asaf, Sdei Hemed, Israel, Badyan, Daniel, Tel Aviv, Israel, Tal, Hail, Kohav Yair, Israel, Erblat, Boris, Tel Aviv, Israel, and Bitterfeld, Robert, Petach tikva, Israel, for discovery of cloud-based infrastructure and resources.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A computing system includes a persistent storage configured to store, as one or more configuration items and on behalf of a managed network, a table of resources provided by a remote computing system to the managed network. The computing system includes a discovery application configured to perform operations. The operations include querying a resource manager application programming interface (API) to identify resources within the remote computing system. The remote computing system is configured to generate a resource inventory file and store the resource inventory file within a storage bucket in response to the query. The resource inventory file contains a list of resources and attributes. The operations also include polling the storage bucket to determine when the resource inventory file has been fully written. In addition, the operations include parsing the resource inventory file to generate representations of the resources. Further, the operations include storing the representations in the table.

The patent application was filed on December 30, 2019 (16/730,259).
