  • Patent number: 11740826
    Abstract: A storage management computing device obtains an information lifecycle management (ILM) policy. A data protection scheme to be applied at a storage node computing device level is determined and a plurality of storage node computing devices are identified based on an application of the ILM policy to metadata received from one of the storage node computing devices and associated with an object ingested by the one of the storage node computing devices. The one of the storage node computing devices is instructed to generate one or more copies of the object or fragments of the object according to the data protection scheme and to distribute the object copies or one of the object fragments to one or more other of the storage node computing devices to be stored by at least the one or more other storage node computing devices on one or more disk storage devices.

  • Patent number: 10691366
    Abstract: A storage management computing device obtains an information lifecycle management (ILM) policy based on a query from a storage node ingesting an object into a distributed storage system. A hierarchical data protection plan comprising protection schemes at different layers of the distributed storage system is determined. A data protection scheme to be applied at a storage node computing device level is determined and a plurality of storage node computing devices are identified based on the hierarchical data protection plan. The storage management computing device instructs the ingesting storage node to store the object into the distributed storage system according to the hierarchical data protection plan.
