  • Patent number: 11768608
    Abstract: A computer system includes a NoSQL/SQL cluster and a distributed storage. In order to make storage target data redundant, a compute node in the NoSQL/SQL cluster instructs other compute nodes in the NoSQL/SQL cluster to write the storage target data into the distributed storage. As regards a file containing the storage target data, the compute node in the NoSQL/SQL cluster deduplicates data in storage apparatuses of a plurality of storage nodes in the distributed storage. The distributed storage performs erasure coding to store a file of the storage target data newly found to be duplicate in deduplication and to store a file of the storage target data not deduplicated in deduplication.

  • Publication number: 20230297265
    Abstract: An administrative terminal receives designation of generation target data and of a generation destination storage device and identifies data similar to the target data. The terminal calculates a first predicted time expected for transmitting the target data from a storage device holding the target data to the generation destination storage device, and a second predicted time expected to be required for a second transmission process of transmitting the similar data from an object storage service to the generation destination storage device and of transmitting difference data between the target data and the similar data from the storage device holding the target data to the generation destination storage device. If the second predicted time is shorter than the first predicted time, the administrative terminal performs the second transmission process to transmit the similar data and the difference data to the generation destination storage device to generate the generation target data therein.

    Abstract: A storage device manages data stored in a storage drive in a plurality of logical hierarchies. The plurality of logical hierarchies include a writing hierarchy above a hierarchy of a parity group including a plurality of storage drives. The storage device writes received host data in a free area in the writing hierarchy. In the data recovery process for replacing a failure storage drive with a new storage drive, the storage device executes the garbage collection process on a first logical area in the writing hierarchy associated with the first parity group including the failure storage drive. In the garbage collection process, valid data is selected from the first logical area and copied to a second logical area associated with a second parity group different from the first parity group.

  • Patent number: 11762574
    Abstract: A backup-source storage system extracts, as a pattern, forwarding target data to a backup-destination storage system among data written to a storage apparatus through a volume. The backup-source storage system determines whether the extracted pattern matches with a registered pattern in the backup-source storage system. When a result of the determination is false, the backup-source storage system registers the extracted pattern and forwards the forwarding target data to the backup-destination storage system. When the result of the determination is true, the backup-source storage system does not forward the forwarding target data.

  • Patent number: 11765203
    Abstract: A plant control system and communication method are capable of immediately dealing with wrong address settings created due to a human error during the execution of an opening procedure. In the plant control system, a higher-level device and a plurality of communication terminal devices are connected to each other through a communication path. Prior to the start of communication, a communication opening process of sequentially transmitting a call signal from the higher-level device to the terminal devices and acknowledging response signals therefrom is executed, which is followed by sequentially transmitting a call signal from the higher-level device to the terminal devices and receiving response signals from the terminal devices. The communication terminal devices compare addresses of the response signals returned from the other terminal devices to the higher-level device against an address set for local terminal devices. If a duplicate address exists, communication from the local terminal device is locked.
