  • Systems and methods for error correction and detection, isolation, and recovery of faults in a fail-in-place storage array
    Patent number: 8473779
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recovering from a fault in an array of data storage devices are provided. Fault recovery includes determining that a first data storage device of the array of data storage devices is more likely to fail that other storage devices of the array of data storage devices. A second data storage device in the array of data storage devices is selected to be used in recovering from a failure of the first data storage device. Data from the first data storage device is stored at the second storage device. In the event of a failure at the first data storage device, data storage operations are performed using the second storage device.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BLOCK-LEVEL MANAGEMENT OF TIERED STORAGE
    Publication number: 20100199036
    Abstract: Acceleration of I/O access to data stored on large storage systems is achieved through multiple tiers of data storage. An array of first storage devices with relatively slow data access rates, such as hard disk drives, is provided along with a smaller number of second storage devices having relatively fast data access rates, such as solid state disks. Data is moved from the first storage devices to the second storage devices to improve data access time based on applications accessing the data and data access patterns.
