Accenture Global Solutions Assigned Two Patents

Selecting and optimizing resources for cloud block storage volume
Accenture Global Solutions Ltd., Dublin, Ireland, has been assigned a patent (11,216,202) developed by Srinivasan, Madhan Kumar, Bengaluru, India, and Pv, Guruprasad, Bangalore, India, for a “system of selecting and optimizing resources for cloud block storage volume.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A system includes a multi-layer block storage volume optimization (BSO) stack to generate a BSO token containing prescriptions to optimize block storage volume. The system may receive account information of storage accounts associated with block storage volumes, obtain respective storage regions and respective data redundancy types of the first storage account and the second storage account from the first account information, and generate the BSO token to include instructions to merge the storage accounts according to the respective storage regions and the respective data redundancy types. The system may further obtain historical resource utilization data for the block storage volume, generate historical resource utilization metrics from the historical resource utilization data, determine a resource configuration baseline based on the historical resource utilization metrics, and select a recommended resource configuration from a plurality of resource configurations based on the first resource configuration baseline.”

The patent application was filed on August 8, 2020 (16/988,628).

Intelligent network operation platform for network fault mitigation
Accenture Global Solutions Ltd., Dublin, Ireland, has been assigned a patent (11,204,824) developed by Tiwari, Sanjay, Bengaluru, India, Maheswari, Shantha, Bangalore, India, Ivg, Surya Kumar, Chennai, India, Sandilya, Mathangi, Bangalore, India, Khanduri, Gaurav, Sydney, Australia, Sengupta, Shubhashis, Bangalore, India, Theme, Marcio Miranda, Tokyo, Japan, Panigrahi, Badarayan, Bangalore, India, and Kumar, Tarang, Bijnor, India, for an “intelligent network operation platform for network fault mitigation.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify, diagnose, and mitigate occurrences of network faults or incidents within a network. Historical network incidents may be used to generate a model that may be used to evaluate real-time occurring network incidents, such as to identify a cause of the network incident. Clustering algorithms may be used to identify portions of the model that share similarities with a network incident and then actions taken to resolve similar network incidents in the past may be identified and proposed as candidate actions that may be executed to resolve the cause of the network incident. Execution of the candidate actions may be performed under control of a user or automatically based on execution criteria and the configuration of the fault mitigation system.”

The patent application was filed on August 21, 2020 (17/000,081).
