Publication number: 20220222290Abstract: A data storage management system incorporates image recognition and classification features. The illustrative system generates thumbnail images to represent images detected in secondary copies. Subsequent image recognition and classification operations are based on the thumbnail images without need to access the secondary copies from which the thumbnails were derived. The system indexes thumbnail images and respective relationships to each other and to the source secondary copies. Metadata from the source secondary copies is extracted and preserved with the thumbnails. Thumbnail images, metadata, and related index data (collectively “thumbnail data”) are stored locally in an illustrative content index server, or in an enhanced storage manager, thus improving performance without interfering with ongoing storage management operations. Features are disclosed for searching within the system and performing storage management operations based on image criteria. Access to/from other systems is also possible, e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Amit Mitkar, Unmil Vinay Tambe, Sumedh Pramod Degaonkar, Rajesh Kumar Singh, Rahil Mohmed Husein Mansuri, Srikanth Hejamadi Tati

Patent number: 11245759Abstract: A “snapshot-control media agent” (“snap-MA”) is configured on a secondary storage computing device that operates apart from client computing devices. A “forwarder” media agent operates on each client computing device that uses a storage array, yet lacks command channels to the storage array. The forwarder media agent forwards commands directed at the storage array to the snap-MA, which receives and processes commands directed at the storage array that were forwarded by the forwarder media agents. Responses from the storage array are transmitted to the respective forwarder media agent. The snap-MA pools storage-array-command devices to avoid capacity limitations in regard to communications channels at the storage array.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Vimal Kumar Nallathambi, Unmil Vinay Tambe

Publication number: 20210209060Abstract: An information management system according to certain aspects may determine whether storage operations will execute properly prior to executing them in a cloud services environment. The system may check various factors or parameters relating to a storage policy to verify whether the storage policy will work at runtime without actually executing the policy. Some examples of factors can include: availability of primary storage devices, availability of secondary storage devices, license availability for performing that operation, user credentials for connecting to primary and/or second storage devices, available storage capacity, connectivity to storage devices, etc. The system may also check whether a particular system configuration is supported in connection with storage operations. The result of the determination can be provided in the form of a report summarizing any problems found with the storage policy. The report can include recommended courses of action or solutions for resolving any identified issues.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventors: Rajiv KOTTOMTHARAYIL, Manoj Kumar VIJAYAN, Vimal Kumar NALLATHAMBI, Unmil Vinay TAMBE

Patent number: 10942894Abstract: An information management system according to certain aspects may determine whether storage operations will work prior to executing them. The system may check various factors or parameters relating to a storage policy to verify whether the storage policy will work at runtime without actually executing the policy. Some examples of factors can include: availability of primary storage devices, availability of secondary storage devices, license availability for performing that operation, user credentials for connecting to primary and/or second storage devices, available storage capacity, connectivity to storage devices, etc. The system may also check whether a particular system configuration is supported in connection with storage operations.
