Igloo Corporation patents cloud log server for network outages
The patented system stores logs as files during an outage and preserves their order after recovery, according to dailysecu.com.
Igloo Corporation announced on October 23, 2026, that it has obtained a patent for a cloud-based log management server designed to keep collecting and ordering log data even when network failures occur in cloud environments, according to dailysecu.com.
The patented technology changes how logs are transmitted depending on network status. Under normal conditions logs are sent in real time, while during an outage they are temporarily stored as files.
When the connection is restored, the stored logs are appended with the last log number from before the failure, so the sequence of the data is not scrambled.
The system also compares signal strength and periodicity with past failure points to detect risks in advance. After recovery, it raises transmission speed in proportion to the length of the outage to catch up on backlogged logs.
In cloud environments where many servers are networked, even a brief disconnection stops log transmission, and once the connection returns, old and new logs mixing together had made it hard for big-data analysis systems to follow the sequence of events.
