Patents by Inventor Bradley A. Bowlin

Bradley A. Bowlin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Storage path management host view
    Patent number: 9965200
    Abstract: In large complex multi-path storage environments, knowing there is a problem is extremely valuable. Example embodiments of the present invention include a management framework that provides an easy to use and read graphical perspective that allows analysis of faults in a multi-path storage environment. The architecture is not only responsive, scalable, and robust, but also provides “middleware” services to a broad spectrum of enterprise management applications whose domains may extend beyond storage path management.

  • Method and system for machine learning for write command selection based on technology feedback
    Patent number: 9747040
    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for reducing I/O latency in a storage system. The method include polling a storage system for values related to caching of I/Os in global memory for subsequent destaging to disk. The host then may determine respective write delay values for I/Os to be sent from a host communicatively coupled with the storage system according to the values related to caching of I/Os. The write delay values then may be applied to the I/Os at the host to delay sending of the I/Os by respective delay times from the host to the storage system.
