  • Method for generating universal objects identifiers in distributed multi-purpose storage systems
    Patent number: 9311135
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for generating secure universal object identifiers on a multipurpose storage system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a client system in communication with a network. An application server is in communication with the network. A storage cluster is in communication with the network. The storage cluster has a plurality of storage nodes. The client system stores a data object via the application server. The application server generates an object identifier assigned to the data object. The application server stores the data object on a storage node of the plurality of storage nodes. The data object is moved to another application server without moving contents of the data object in the storage cluster.

  • Probabilistic offload engine for distributed hierarchical object storage devices
    Patent number: 9152648
    Abstract: A method and system having a probabilistic offload engine for distributed hierarchical object storage devices is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a first storage system and a second storage system in communication with the first storage system. The first storage system and the second storage system are key/value based object storage devices that store and serve objects. The first storage system and the second storage system execute a probabilistic algorithm to predict access patterns. The first storage system and the second storage system execute a probabilistic algorithm to predict access patterns and minimize data transfers between the first storage system and the second storage system.

  • Multipurpose storage system based upon a distributed hashing mechanism with transactional support and failover capability
    Patent number: 8429444
    Abstract: A multipurpose storage system based upon a distributed hashing mechanism with transactional support and failover capability is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a client system in communication with a network, a secondary storage system in communication with the network, and a supervisor system in communication with the network. The supervisor system assigns a unique identifier to a first node system and places the first node system in communication with the network in a location computed by using hashing. The client system stores a data object on the first node system.
