Abstract: A storage system that includes multiple CPU hosts and PCI-E multi-host capable devices uses link selection controllers to map shared memory addresses to individual PCI-E links such that each address is accessed via only one of a plurality of PCI-E links. The addresses may be grouped into same-size segments, each of which contains only addresses mapped to the same PCI-E link. The link selection controllers monitor for state changes that affect PCI-E link availability and, in response to detection of a failure, coordinate a response that includes re-mapping the affected addresses.

The method may also include, by the computing device, responsive to a determination that an anomaly is not predicted in the MOM server, delivering the message to the MOM server.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for loading a first chunk of data from a user data page into a first buffer. Each successive chunk of data from the user data page may be iteratively loaded into a second buffer. The first chunk of data in the first buffer may be iteratively compared with each successive chunk of data in the second buffer. In response to determining that the first chunk of data in the first buffer is equivalent to each successive chunk of data in the second buffer, the first chunk of data may be defined as a pattern.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multilayer encryption for user privacy compliance and corporate confidentiality are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: transmit, from a workspace instantiated by a local management agent to a portal managed by an enterprise: (i) a request to store a once-encrypted document, and (ii) an indication that the once-encrypted document is encrypted with a controlvault key; receive, from the portal at the workspace, a request to encrypt the once-encrypted document with an enterprise-issued cryptographic key to produce a twice-encrypted document; and transmit, from the workspace to the portal, a copy of the twice-encrypted document.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards predicting the survival of a storage device (e.g., a hard disk drive or a solid state drive) to a specified time point, expressed as a confidence score, via a prediction uncertainty quantifier framework with a machine learning classifier. The confidence score corresponds to the likelihood of a storage device surviving until a specified time point (e.g., for n hours). In one implementation, a conformal prediction framework provides the confidence score for a storage device, based on survival rate data predicted using recent telemetry data collected for that storage device by an online semi-parametric Mondrian survival forest classifier. Updated confidence scores based on updated telemetry data can be obtained at various evaluation stages to reevaluate whether to take remedial action with respect to a storage device (e.g., replace the storage device). Multiple storage devices can be ranked by their respective associated confidence scores.

Abstract: Systems and methods manage use of rechargeable battery power of Information Handling Systems (IHSs). In managing power draws from the batteries of an IHS, use of software applications of the IHS is monitored and use is detected of a software application that has been designated as prioritized for use of the IHS batteries. A power throttling factor is selected for use in drawing power from the rechargeable batteries of the IHS while the prioritized software application remains in use. The selected power throttling factor is transmitted to an embedded controller of the IHS and the embedded controller is notified when the prioritized software application is no longer in use by a user of the IHS. The embedded controller receives the power throttling factor and, while the prioritized software application remains in use, the embedded controller limits power drawn from the IHS rechargeable batteries according to the power throttling factor.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to detect an input-output (IO) pressure condition relating to at least one logical storage volume of a storage system, to receive IO operations directed to the at least one logical storage volume, to extract processing entity identifiers from respective ones of the received IO operations, and to perform IO throttling for the at least one logical storage volume based at least in part on the extracted processing entity identifiers. For example, a first group of one or more of the IO operations each having a first processing entity identifier may be subject to the IO throttling, while a second group of one or more of the IO operations each having a second processing entity identifier different than the first processing entity identifier is not subject to the IO throttling. Other differences in IO throttling can be implemented using the extracted processing entity identifiers.
