Patent number: 11232006Abstract: A server system comprising storage devices, processing devices and a storage fabric all operating according to a storage fabric protocol. The storage fabric comprises a plurality of individual switches having a modular design from which an overall switch is built, and the individual switches have individual respective configuration settings which determine which processing devices are allocated to use which of the storage devices. The system comprises an API enabling a software control function to configure the overall switch. The API is operable to receive from the control function an overall mapping of the storage devices to the processing devices instead of requiring the individual configuration settings of each of the individual switches to be specified by the control function, the API being configured to convert the overall mapping into the individual configuration settings of the individual switches to produce the overall mapping.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Serguei Anatolievitch Legtchenko, Mark Shaw, Austin Donnelly, Hugh Williams, Richard Black, Antony Ian Taylor Rowstron, Aaron Ogus, Douglas Phillips

Patent number: 10805406Abstract: Techniques for implementing zone redundant computing services in distributed computing systems are described herein. In one embodiment, a computing device is configured to query a database in a first availability zone for a list of computing services corresponding to a user account and provided by servers in a second availability zone different than the first availability zone. The computing device can then selects one or more computing services provided by the servers in the second availability zone from the queried list of computing services and transmit an instruction to the servers in the second availability zone for performing the requested data operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Abhishek Singh Baghel, Girish Saini, Rushi Srinivas Surla, Ameya Bhagat, Ping-Yao Tseng, FNU Arunachaleshwar, Marcus Swenson, Andrew Edwards, Maneesh Sah, Aaron Ogus, Madhav Pandya

Publication number: 20190245923Abstract: A server system comprising processing devices, disks and a storage fabric, all arranged to operate according to a storage fabric protocol in order to communicate between the processing devices and the storage devices over the storage fabric, wherein the storage fabric is settable with a mapping determining which of the processing devices are allocated to use which of the storage devices in providing said services to the client systems. The system comprises a control function arranged to dynamically adapt the mapping in response to either: (i) failure or other downtime of one of the processing devices, storage devices, a component of the storage fabric or a connection in the storage fabric; or (ii) a current demand for the services from the client systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2018Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Hugh WILLIAMS, Antony Ian Taylor ROWSTRON, Richard BLACK, Austin DONNELLY, Serguei Anatolievitch LEGTCHENKO, Aaron OGUS, Douglas PHILLIPS

Publication number: 20050050543Abstract: A method for setting timers is disclosed in which an array is maintained, each element of which represents a period of time. Events which are to occur within the time period associated with the array element are linked to the array element. The events associated with each array element are executed at a pre-determined time interval. A pointer pointing to the current time period being processed wraps around to the beginning of the array when the end of the array is reached.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2004Publication date: March 3, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Aaron Ogus, Evan Schrier
