Patent number: 11327948Abstract: A method is used in managing deduplication of data in storage systems. A candidate data object is identified for deduplicating a data object by evaluating digests stored in a current digest segment to determine whether another digest matching a digest associated with the data block is stored in the current digest segment. The current digest segment includes a set of digests associated with a set of data blocks previously received for deduplication. Based on the evaluation, a deduplicating technique is applied to the data object. The current digest segment is stored in an index table. A previous digest segment associated with a digest stored in the index table matches the digest associated with the data block is replaced by the current digest segment.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Nickolay Dalmatov, Richard P.

Patent number: 11244325Abstract: A system and method for managing media advertising enterprise data. An enterprise data management (EDM) module can be configured to include a set of rules at an enterprise level to manage disparate and disconnected records. A scoring function with respect to each record can be computed based on the rules to determine the highest priority. The rules in association with the scoring function can be stored locally in an EDM database. A matching process can then be performed to accurately match similar records regardless of manual input, location, and format of the records in a distributed system. Each record can then be assigned with a parent enterprise advertiser. Such an optimization mechanism can interactively manage and report records at the enterprise level in a simple and efficient manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc.Inventors: Kohinoor Basu, Angel Barnachea Chua, Matthew M.
