  • Patent number: 11494421
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to personalized and dynamic server-side searching techniques for encrypted data. Current so-called ‘zero-knowledge’ privacy systems (i.e., systems where the server has ‘zero-knowledge’ about the client data that it is storing) utilize servers that hold encrypted data without the decryption keys necessary to decrypt, index, and/or re-encrypt the data. As such, the servers are not able to perform any kind of meaningful server-side search process, as it would require access to the underlying decrypted data. Therefore, such prior art ‘zero-knowledge’ privacy systems provide a limited ability for a user to search through a large dataset of encrypted documents to find critical information.

  • Patent number: 11461287
    Abstract: A technique manages file data of a file system. The technique involves provisioning a first LUN with slice locations from a heterogeneous storage pool created from a solid state device (SSD) storage tier formed from SSD memory and a hard disk drive (HDD) storage tier formed from HDD memory. The technique further involves provisioning a second LUN with slice locations from the heterogeneous storage pool. The technique further involves, while different LUN level policies are applied to the first LUN and the second LUN, moving file data of a file system from the slice locations of the first LUN to the slice locations of the second LUN. Such a technique enables effective auto-tiering at the file level where active file data moves to a higher performance storage tier and inactive file data moves to a cost effective lower performance storage tier thus optimizing operation.
