Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for migrating data from a first cloud network provided from a first cloud service provider (CSP) and a second cloud network provided by a second CSP. The method reads and packs only live data containers from the first cloud using a Garbage Collection (GC) process. It performs a collection replication process replicating a local container set (CSET) from the first cloud network to the second cloud network, and replicates data containers from the first cloud network to the second cloud network. It then uses a container manager process to write data containers on the second cloud network.

Abstract: An illustrative data storage management system comprises a management database that stores administrative preferences and system configurations, as well as results and/or statistics of completed secondary storage operations, i.e., information needed by the system to protect customers' data and to track and recover the protected data, including secondary copies such as backup copies, archive copies, etc. The disclosed data storage management system is configured to protect its own system data subject to a very aggressive (short) Recovery Point Objective (RPO), by using an innovative infrastructure that enables the system's storage manager to fail over to any number of other failover destination storage managers, each one comprising a destination management database. An illustrative database granularly tracks whether each and every transaction log file has been successfully applied to each and every destination management database to synchronize with the source management database.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing a topological view and insights of organization information technology (IT) environments based on bare-metal recovery and/or system-state recovery data and metadata. Often, one or many IT environment(s), affiliated with an organization, include various network resources, as well active directory service(s) for organizing, locating, and managing said network resources. Active directory service(s) may further gather and provide information pertinent to modeling a topological view of said network resources throughout the organization. Leveraging said information gleaned from any active directory service(s), as well as backup operation metadata generated during or following backup operations targeting workloads and their respective data, which support bare-metal and/or system-state recoveries, embodiments disclosed herein propose the construction of an organization metadata tree.

Abstract: A method and system for workload anomaly detection for standalone hosts based on bare-metal recovery and/or state-system recovery data and metadata. In isolated circumstances, workloads tend to operate as expected, however, their behavior and/or functionality may become unpredictable when said workloads are exposed to other factors outside of isolation. Further, most of these other factors, as well as their influence on workload behavior and/or functionality tend to go unnoticed by administrators. Data and/or metadata, pertinent to bare-metal recovery and/or system-state recovery operations, may capture host-relevant information, including which workload(s) is/are installed on a host, which file-system objects maintained thereon belong to which installed workload, and what is the nature and storage location of each file-system object.

Abstract: The effective dimensionality of multivariate data can be reduced while minimizing loss of fidelity to primary calculations of interest. The reduced dimensionality may simplify analysis and make it more computationally efficient as a result of the simplification. Boundaries along a subset of dimensions may be identified and used to effectively reduce the dimensionality of the data according to those boundaries.

Abstract: In a log management method performed by a server, the server receives a transaction and generates a command log of the transaction. When detecting the transaction is a multi-partition transaction or a non-deterministic transaction, the server generates a data log of the transaction. When the server is faulty, the server recovers data according to the command log or the data log.

Abstract: Snapshots are created of a unit of storage such that the snapshot includes all segments allocated to the unit of storage until a subsequent snapshot is created. A backup of a first snapshot may be performed by copying segments of the snapshot to backup storage. If a preceding snapshot has been backed up, those segments of the first snapshot are copied to backup storage without copying the segments of the preceding snapshot, otherwise all segments of the snapshot are copied. Metadata describing the snapshot may be retained but storage may be freed to be overwritten. The metadata may reference identifiers of segments copied to backup storage. Data stored in backup storage may also be labeled as individual segments or be associated with snapshot metadata in backup storage.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to systems and methods of data storage, and more particularly to providing layering of file system functionality on an object interface. In certain embodiments, file system functionality may be layered on cloud object interfaces to provide cloud-based storage while allowing for functionality expected from a legacy applications. For instance, POSIX interfaces and semantics may be layered on cloud-based storage, while providing access to data in a manner consistent with file-based access with data organization in name hierarchies. Various embodiments also may provide for memory mapping of data so that memory map changes are reflected in persistent storage while ensuring consistency between memory map changes and writes. For example, by transforming a ZFS file system disk-based storage into ZFS cloud-based storage, the ZFS file system gains the elastic nature of cloud storage.

Abstract: Mechanisms for multidimensional data modeling and operations and related procedures are described. Resource structures for multidimensional data can be used. This can allow lumped operations such as RESTful operations and procedures on the multidimensional data. A new attribute “SamplingPeriodCovered” can be used to indicate the time interval when the related time series data (or any multi-dimension data streams) are stored. This can reduce the total size of the data stored.
