Abstract

The invention is a method sending a plurality of data from a server to a fleet of devices. The method comprises the following steps: splitting said plurality of data in a set of disjoint batches, uniquely allocating to each of said disjoint batches a time slot, identifying a selected data belonging to the disjoint batch which is allocated to the current time slot and sending the selected data from the server to one device of said fleet, and if an incident occurs at the server, discarding from the server the disjoint batch allocated to the time slot during which the incident occurred.

Claims (16)

1. A method for sending a plurality of data from a server to a fleet of devices,

wherein the method comprises the following steps:

splitting said plurality of data in a set of disjoint batches,

uniquely allocating to each of said disjoint batches a time slot,

identifying a selected data belonging to a disjoint batch which is allocated to a current time slot and sending the selected data from the server to one device of said fleet,

if an incident occurs at the server, discarding from the server a disjoint batch allocated to a time slot during which the incident occurred.

2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein each of said data is either a telecom subscription intended to be installed in one device of said fleet or intended to be sent once only by the server.

3. A method according to claim 1 , wherein all time slots have a same size which is set to be greater than a maximum synchronization latency of the plurality of data.

4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said server includes at least one machine adapted to identify the selected data belonging to the disjoint batch which is allocated to the current time slot and wherein said incident occurs when said at least one machine becomes unavailable.

5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said incident occurs when a preset security alert is triggered on the server.

6. A server storing a plurality of data intended to be sent to a fleet of devices,

wherein said server is configured to split said plurality of data in a set of disjoint batches, the server is configured to uniquely allocate to each of said disjoint batches a time slot, the server is configured to identify a selected data belonging to a disjoint batch allocated to a current time slot and to send the selected data to one device of said fleet of devices, and the server is configured to discard a disjoint batch allocated to a time slot during which an incident occurred at the server.

7. A server according to claim 6 , wherein the server includes a main machine and a backup machine and wherein the backup machine is adapted to discard a disjoint batch allocated to a time slot during which the main machine becomes unavailable.

8. A server according to claim 6 , wherein the server includes first and second machines, wherein each of said machines stores a backup of the other machine, wherein said first and second machines are adapted to discard a disjoint batch allocated to a time slot during which the other machine becomes unavailable.

9. A server according to claim 6 , wherein said server is configured to detect the incident when restarting.

10. A server according to claim 6 , wherein said server is configured to detect the incident as being a preset security alert triggered on the server.
