Patent number: 11222664Abstract: A server box embodiment is disclosed that generally comprises an array of dummy HDDs that share a common set of universal disk drive components in a master components module, or power module. Each dummy HDDs is constructed without expensive onboard chipsets that control the normal functionality of a standard HDD. By sharing expensive chipsets in a master components module (power module) money can be saved in building and selling the dummy HDD server. Embodiments envision a power module possessing the needed chipset functionality that is missing in a dummy HDD. The power module can be made to move from dummy HDD to dummy HDD supplying the necessary chipset in a shared manner when data is being stored or retrieved for client or end-user.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Nicholas Aldo Nespeca, Jon Benson, Stephen P.

Patent number: 11107501Abstract: A method for securing user data that is stored to a tape cartridge having a medium auxiliary memory (MAM) is described. When user data is sent to a tape library from a client, the tape library sends a request to a cloud based key management service for a data key to encrypt the user data and an encrypted data key that corresponds to the data key. The data key is used to encrypt the user data which is then stored to the tape cartridge and the encrypted data key is stored to the MAM. Upon decrypting the encrypted user data, the encrypted data key is extracted from the MAM and sent to the cloud based key management service where it is used to produce the data key from the cloud based key management service which is then sent to the tape library. When the tape library is in possession of the data key, the encrypted data in the tape cartridge can then be decrypted and sent to a requester of the user data.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Joseph T Frank, David Lee Trachy

Publication number: 20210250403Abstract: In certain instances, a data management application (software application) that manages moving data files, and the like, from a primary high-speed storage system. An end-user can configure the data management application for particular files via management policies. Based on the management policies, after a file is migrated from the primary storage system to a targeted secondary storage system, a breadcrumb pointing to a webpage for the migrated file is left behind in the primary storage system. The webpage can be used to manage the migrated file, such as moving the migrated file back to the primary storage system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Leon Braunstein, David Lee Trachy, John Walter Kranz, Kumar Goswami, Krishna Subramanian, Mohit Dhawan, Michael Peercy

Patent number: 10951704Abstract: Due to slow download speeds from a cloud server to an end-user and the high costs associated therewith, described is a private environment that manages and utilizes resources provided by a public cloud and the storage horsepower of a private server. Certain embodiments envision syncing data objects across at least one cloud data bucket located in a public cloud and at least one server data bucket located in at least one private server. Certain aspects explore using a software platform that manages syncing data from a cloud data bucket to a server data bucket by way of asynchronous notifications from the cloud data bucket to the software platform. However, syncing data in the opposite direction from the server data bucket to the cloud data bucket is by way of direct syncing and not through asynchronous notifications. Conflict resolution is also described when two different data object versions are uploaded to two different data buckets before the data objects can be synced across the data buckets.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Joseph T Frank, David Lee Trachy

Publication number: 20200150879Abstract: A magazine-based data storage library in connection with a disk drive-based archive storage system is described that essentially generates parity data for tape formatted data streams (stored to tape cartridges) that do not align by way of data blocks or file marks. Data streams intended for tape storage sent to tape cartridges are also sent to a disk drive storage system via an encoder where parity of the data streams can be generated. More specifically, the encoder digitally formats tape blocks and tape marks (as well as other tape formatted structure) in a digital stream of data that can be added to other encoded digital streams of data to generate parity. To reconstruct a specific tape cartridge from a tape set, the encoded data from each of the tapes in the tape set are subtracted from the parity data and the remaining encoded data is decoded and sent to a designated tape cartridge.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2020Publication date: May 14, 2020Applicant: Spectra Logic CorporationInventor: Joshua Daniel Carter
