  • Publication number: 20140222770
    Abstract: Facility for transferring data over a network between two network endpoints by transferring hash signatures over the network instead the actual data. The hash signatures are pre-generated from local static data and stored in a hash database before any data is transferred between source and destination. The hash signatures are created on both sides of a network at the point where data is local, and the hash database consists of hash signatures of blocks of data that are stored locally. The hash signatures are created using different traversal patterns across local data so that the hash database can represent a larger dataset then the actual physical storage of the local data. If no local data is present, then arbitrary data is generated and then remains static.

  • Patent number: 8738872
    Abstract: Methods and software for “hot migration” of data an original storage unit for a target system to destination storage unit. In one embodiment, a virtual storage device is provided, having a control block mapped to both the original storage unit, as well as to the destination storage unit. The target system is stopped, the virtual storage device is substituted for the original storage unit, and the target system is restarted. The virtual storage device directs requests to the destination storage unit, and fulfills read requests from whichever of the two storage units has a valid copy of data requested (depending, e.g., on whether the data is as yet unchanged, has been re-written, or has been copied, during the migration process). Unchanged data blocks are copies from the original storage unit to the destination storage unit. The target system is stopped, the virtual storage device is disconnected from the target system, and the destination storage unit is connected in its place.

  • Patent number: 8706992
    Abstract: High performance, enterprise-level data protection system and method provides efficient block-level incremental snapshots of primary storage devices, and instant availability of such snapshots in immediately mountable form that can be directly used in place of the primary storage device. Related systems and applications are described, including an “Enterprise Image Destination” (EID) for backup images; a mirroring technique whereby a replacement physical primary facility may be created while working with a second storage unit as the primary source file system; and a technique for eliminating redundant data in backup images when multiple systems with partially common contents (e.g., operating system files, common databases, application executables, etc.) are being backed up. A number of examples showing “Fast Application Restore” (FAR) with the use of the invention are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130191555
    Abstract: An intelligent storage controller operating in conjunction with a computer running an application that uses the data managed by the intelligent storage controller, and requires data transformation operations to be performed on the data. The intelligent storage controller is adapted to directly perform the data transformation operations on the data controlled by the controller, under the direction of the computer running the application, thereby offloading this processing entirely to the intelligent storage controller. The intelligent storage controller may also provide an application programming interface for the computer running the application to use in directing commands to the intelligent storage controller. To accommodate varying workloads on the intelligent storage controller, data transformation tasks may be load balanced between the intelligent storage controller, the computer running the application, and/or other hosts.

  • Patent number: 8400794
    Abstract: A power system is disclosed. The power system comprises a plurality of power supply units, a voltage sharing bus, and a current sharing bus. The sharing bus is used to transmit a sharing voltage, and the current sharing bus is used to transmit a first current reference value. Each of the power supply units comprises: a power converter, a feed-forward control (FFC) circuit, and a feedback control (FBC) circuit. The feed-forward control circuit is used to generate a second current reference value according to a difference between an input voltage of the power converter and the sharing voltage. The feedback control circuit is used to generate a current compensation value according to the second current reference value and the first current reference value. The power converter can adjusts the output current thereof in accordance with the current compensation value.

  • Patent number: 8346726
    Abstract: Facility for using images created by backup software to recreate an entire machine as it was at the point in time in the past when the backup was taken. The facility can be extended so as to bring up a set of machines which together serve some logical business function as in a cluster or federated servers, and further extended so that an entire data center may be virtualized from backup images. The virtualized servers provided may serve as an alternate data center standing in case of disaster or to meet maintenance windows achieving low cost Instant Disaster Recovery. A set of virtual machines may stand in for physical machines for a period of time and then resynchronized or re-seeded to physical machines via a combination of bare metal recovery and re-synchronizing from live LXJNs that form the virtual machine disks.
