Abstract: A high speed data storage system including a logical disk that is implemented from disk systems (i.e., physical disk storage devices and associated controllers) that operate at speed lower than the input data rate. The logical disk supports the input data rate by multiplexing streaming data onto multiple physical disk storage devices. The resulting system has a logical read/write speed that is the sum of each of the disks participated in the storage system. Data written onto the data storage system can be retrieved directly, sequentially, or by means of advanced search techniques such as binary search or skip sequential search.

Abstract: A method, an article of manufacture, and system for heapifying an object. The method includes: storing, in a working set, a first address of a certain object in a stack frame, copying the certain object into the heap area and holding a second address of the certain object in the heap area, following each stack frame to find a pointer pointing to the first address stored in the working set, converting the address that the pointer points to into the second address, proceeding to a next stack frame, where the address conversion includes storing an address of another object in the working set if the converted address is stored as a value of a field of the other object in the stack frame, and terminating the process in response to a lack of pointers found in the stack frame to point to the addresses stored in the working set.

Abstract: Techniques for replicating changes to access control lists on investigative analysis data are disclosed. After a change is made in a database to an access control list (ACL) governing access to a secured component of a data object, an exporting nexus sends an ACL change network message to an importing nexus. The ACL change message includes information that importing nexus can use to apply the ACL change to the importing database. Applying the ACL change message includes using the information in the ACL change message to determine which change records for which secured components of the data object in the importing database the ACL change should be applied to. By doing so, user access to all change records in the importing database to which the ACL change is applied is governed by the new ACL, thereby preventing unauthorized access to the change records, including historical change records.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a migration of a file from a path denotative NAS server to an ID denotative NAS server. In a file management device a migration-use path denotative NAS access section obtains a file deposit location from the path denotative NAS server, selects a migration target file based on the deposit location, and sends a read request with the deposit location of the migration target file to the path denotative NAS server, so as to obtain the migration target file. A migration-use denotative NAS access section generates a write request with the migration target file, sends it to the ID denotative NAS servers, and writes the file therein. In addition, the migration-use ID denotative NAS access section registers a GUID received from the ID denotative NAS servers in a file name/GUID management table, together with the file name of the migration target file.
