  • Patent number: 10891054
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a primary data storage system for use in a computer network in which a network allows user computers to transfer data to/from the primary data storage system. In one embodiment, the primary data storage system allows an administrator of the computer network to define two or more volumes on the primary data storage system and define quality of service goals for each volume. The primary data storage system operates so as allocate resources within the primary data storage system to the volumes based upon criticality and performance goals specified for each of the volumes.

  • Patent number: 10866742
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for archiving storage volume snapshots. An archive module determines at least one snapshot or point in time copy of data. A metadata module determines metadata for restoring a snapshot or point in time copy. A storage module replicates a snapshot or point in time copy and stores the replicated snapshot or point in time copy and metadata to a target storage location, such as one or more data files in a file system of one or more storage devices from a different vendor than a storage device from which the data was copied. In another embodiment, both the ability to archive a storage volume snapshot and restore a previously archived storage volume snapshot is provided.

  • Publication number: 20130117516
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a primary data storage system for use in a computer network in which a network allows user computers to transfer data to and/or from the primary data storage system. In one embodiment of the invention, the storage processor operates to analyze the data associated with write block commands that relate to different storage locations in a data store system that is associated with the primary data storage system so as to identify the potential writing of the block(s) of the same data to the data store system and prevent the writing of such blocks of data.

  • Publication number: 20130117515
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a primary data storage system for use in a computer network in which a network allows user computers to transfer data to/from the primary data storage system. In one embodiment, the primary data storage system implements a tiering strategy to move data between stores with different characteristics so as to match the characteristics of the data to the characteristics of one of the stores.
