Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, an asset inventory service executed by one or more devices receives telemetry data collected passively by a sensor application regarding a node in a network. The asset inventory service requests, after receiving the telemetry data, that the sensor application perform active discovery of nodes in the network. The asset inventory service receives active discovery data collected by the sensor application via active discovery of nodes in the network. The asset inventory service generates, based on the telemetry data and the active discovery data, an identity profile for the node.

Abstract: A system for configuring with an overlay configuration, a datacenter network of networking devices comprising at least an underlay fabric, an edge, and a ToR switch interconnecting one or several hosts on a rack, communicably connected to each other with an underlay configuration. The system comprises an API providing a user with a set of primitives providing instantiation capability of respective generic networking resources, the primitives being configured to be invoked and assembled by the user so as to provide an abstracted view of the overlay configuration. The system further comprises a Workflow engine to compute the overlay configuration according to the abstracted view, and an Overlay configuration builder to push the overlay configuration to the ToR switch and the edge. The pushed overlay configuration configures a NVE in the datacenter network as one of the ToR switch, depending on the business use case of the datacenter associated with the identity of the user.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, memory devices, and machine readable mediums for a fast secure data destruction for NAND memory devices that renders data in a memory cell unreadable. Instead of going through all the erase phases, the memory device may remove sensitive data by performing only the pre-programming phase of the erase process. Thus, the NAND doesn't perform the second and third phases of the erase process. This is much faster and results in data that cannot be reconstructed. In some examples, because the erase pulse is not actually applied and because this is simply a programming operation, data may be rendered unreadable at a per-page level rather than a per-block level as in traditional erases.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for reducing distributed storage operation latency using segment routing. In some examples, a method can involve receiving, from a client, a message identifying an intent to store or retrieve data on a distributed storage environment, and sending to the client a segment routing (SR) list identifying storage node candidates for storing or retrieving the data. The method can involve steering a data request from the client through a path defined by the SR list based on a segment routing header (SRH) associated with the request, the SRH being configured to steer the request through the path until a storage node from the storage node candidates accepts the request. The method can further involve sending, to the client device, a response indicating that the storage node has accepted the request and storing or retrieving the data at the storage node that accepted the request.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory devices, machine readable mediums configured to intentionally degrade NAND performance when a value of a NAND health metric indicates a potential for failure to encourage users to replace or backup their devices before data loss occurs. For example, the system may track a NAND health metric and when that metric reaches a predetermined threshold or state, the system may intentionally degrade performance. This performance degradation may be more effective than a warning to effect device backup or replacement.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including a memory device or a memory controller configured to supply supported voltages to a host, provide temperature throttling information to the host, or provide an indication that a host attempting to read a result was not the host that caused the placement of the result in a result register.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums that dynamically adjust the size of an L2P cache in a memory device in response to observed operational conditions. The L2P cache may borrow memory space from a donor memory location, such as a read or write buffer. For example, if the system notices a high amount of read requests, the system may increase the size of the L2P cache at the expense of the write buffer (which may be decreased). Likewise, if the system notices a high amount of write requests, the system may increase the size of the L2P cache at the expense of the read buffer (which may be decreased).

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are memory devices which feature customizable Single Level Cell (SLC) and Multiple Level Cell (MLC) configurations. The SLC memory cells serve as a high-speed cache providing SLC level performance with the storage capacity of a memory device with MLC memory cells. The proportion of cells configured as MLC vs the proportion that are configured as SLC storage may be configurable, and in some examples, the proportion may change during usage based upon configurable rules based upon memory device metrics. In some examples, when the device activity is below an activity threshold, the memory device may skip the SLC cache and place the data directly into the MLC storage to reduce power consumption.
