Abstract: There are provided a method of transforming a non-transformed stored logical data object (LO) device into a transformed LO and system thereof.

Abstract: There is provided a compression system configured to compress logical data objects into one or more accommodation blocks with a predefined size, and a method of operating thereof. The compression system comprises a compression engine capable of compressing input data with the help of sequential encoding one or more input strings and a counter operatively coupled to the compression engine. The counter is configured to keep its ongoing value indicative of a number of input bytes in one or more strings successfully encoded into a given accommodation block; and, responsive to unsuccessful compression of a string into the given accommodation block, to provide the compression engine with information indicative of starting point in the input stream for encoding into the next accommodation block, thus giving rise to a “start indication”.

Abstract: There is provided a system capable of transformation of logical data objects for storage and method of operating thereof. The method comprises: a) identifying among a plurality of requests addressed to the storage device two or more “write” requests addressed to the same logical data object; b) deriving data chunks corresponding to identified “write” requests and transforming the derived data chunks; c) grouping the transformed data chunks in accordance with the order the requests have been received and in accordance with a predefined criteria; d) generating a grouped “write” request to the storage device; and e) providing mapping in a manner facilitating one-to-one relationship between the data in the obtained data chunks and the data to be read from the transformed logical object.

Abstract: A method and system for transforming a logical data object for storage in a storage device operable with at least one storage protocol, creating, reading, writing, optimization and restoring thereof.

Abstract: A method and system for transforming a logical data object for storage in a storage device operable with at least one storage protocol, creating, reading, writing, optimization and restoring thereof. Transforming the logical data object comprises creating in the storage device a transformed logical data object comprising a header and one or more allocated accommodation sections with predefined size; transforming one or more sequentially obtained chunks of obtained data corresponding to the transforming logical data object thus giving rise to the transformed data chunks; and sequentially accommodating the processed data chunks into said accommodation sections in accordance with an order said chunks received, wherein said accommodation sections serve as atomic elements of transformation/de-transformation operations during input/output transactions on the logical data object.
