Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for processing a snapshot structure of a storage system, wherein the snapshot structure includes one or more temporal indicators and defines a plurality of elements including one or more snapshots, wherein the one or more temporal indicators are incremented to indicate the point at which a data entry was initially added to the snapshot structure. A snapshot matrix is generated based, at least in part, upon the snapshot structure, wherein the snapshot matrix defines the storage space used by one or more eclipsed elements and associated eclipsing elements.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for processing a snapshot tree structure of a storage system, wherein the snapshot tree structure defines a plurality of filter elements including one or more snapshots. A snapshot matrix is generated based, at least in part, upon the snapshot tree structure, wherein the snapshot matrix defines the amount of data storage consumed by one or more eclipsed elements and the corresponding eclipsing elements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for partitioning network data services among multiple subscribers uses information stored in several tables to define a plurality of independent networks where each independent network comprises a set of access ports and a unique set of destination addresses and is logically separate from all other independent networks so that no information can pass from one independent network to another independent network. When a subscriber makes a request to use an independent network, a subscriber key that is based on the subscriber identity and the network access port is used to determine whether the subscriber has permission to use the independent network. If the subscriber has permission to use the independent network, information retrieved from the tables is used to determine whether the source subscriber or a destination subscriber has control over the resource.
