Patent number: 11449425Abstract: A host server in a server cluster has a memory allocator that creates a dedicated host application data cache in storage class memory. A background routine destages host application data from the dedicated cache in accordance with a destaging plan. For example, a newly written extent may be destaged based on aging. All extents may be flushed from the dedicated cache following host server reboot. All extents associated with a particular production volume may be flushed from the dedicated cache in response to a sync message from a storage array.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Arieh Don, Adnan Sahin, Owen Martin, Peter Blok, Philip Derbeko

Patent number: 10235053Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for directing I/Os for a chunk of data to a data storage system on which the chunk of data is stored. The host method includes receiving an I/O for a chunk of data, identifying to which data storage system the I/O should be sent to access the chunk of data, and sending the I/O for the chunk of data to the identified data storage system. Other example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for handling received I/Os during a migration of the chunk of data. The data storage system method includes migrating the chunk of data, queuing an I/O for the chunk of data received from a host during the migration, and rejecting the queued I/O as a result of the migration.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: EMC CORPORATIONInventors: Philip Derbeko, Marik Marshak, Alexandr Veprinsky, Zvi Gabriel Benhanokh, Arieh Don

Patent number: 10044744Abstract: A processing device in one embodiment comprises a processor coupled to a memory and is configured to intercept a storage communication directed over a storage channel between a potentially infected machine and an associated storage system, and to determine if the intercepted storage communication is from a security agent deployed on the potentially infected machine. If the intercepted storage communication is from the security agent, at least a portion of the communication is provided to a security system. If the intercepted storage communication is not from the security agent, the communication is forwarded to the storage system. Accordingly, the security agent is configured to communicate with the security system using storage communications sent over the storage channel in a manner that avoids detection of the security agent by malware that may be installed on the machine and configured to monitor network communications.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Philip Derbeko, Yuri Manusov, Naomi Eskira, Sorin Faibish
