Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and devices that more effectively manage snapshots by creating a namespace including files described by stored file recipe objects and each comprising fragments, directories described by metadata in the file recipe objects and each comprising one or more of the files, and snapshots described by stored snapshot request objects. Content of one of the directories are identified based on an identification of corresponding ones of the file recipe objects that existed within the namespace at a specified time. At least one of the files, included in the identified content and existing within the namespace at the specified time, is accessed in response to one or more received requests. A garbage collection operation is periodically performed to delete the recipe objects that are marked for deletion by tombstone objects and are unreferenced by any of the snapshots as determined based on the snapshot request objects.

Abstract: A system can apply file placement rules to dynamically place files and directories within file system views backed by objects in an object storage system. After detection of an update to a first file system view that causes an update of an object in a storage grid, an object manager begins evaluation of file placement rules against metadata of the object. For each file placement rule that is triggered, the object manager determines identifies gateways that export the first file system view. The object manager then instructs the gateways to update their representations of the first file system view. The disclosed embodiments may be able to scale to managing hundreds of billions of files spanning thousands of file system views, especially in the presence of disconnected operation.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for offloading the management of sensor data and generating custom views of sensor data. Sensor data received from a data network through a message is stored within storage managed by a computing device. A handle is generated to identify the sensor data. The sensor data within the message is replaced with the handle, and the message is transmitted to a device within the data network. The device may use handles of sensor data to request custom views of sensor data.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that assists with managing storage in a distributed deduplication system includes receiving an object to be stored from a client computing device. The received object is divided into a plurality of fragments. A plaintext hash value and a ciphertext hash value is determined for each of the plurality of fragments, wherein each of the plurality of fragments is renamed with the corresponding determined ciphertext hash value. Each of the renamed plurality of fragments are stored in a plurality of storage repositories.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to receiving an executable function from a client device, wherein the executable function is to be executed on a function as a service (FaaS) platform. Upon performing a verification and validation process on the received executable function prior to runtime, it is determined when to execute the received executable function based on based on one or more execution initiation techniques upon performing. The verified and validated executable function is executed at the runtime on the FaaS platform based on the determination.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to verifying and validating a received executable function to be executed on a function as a service platform (FaaS), by applying one or more verification and validation techniques prior to runtime. The verified and validated executable function is temporarily stored. The temporarily stored verified and validated executable function is executed on the FaaS platform at the runtime.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that accelerate storage operations are disclosed. With this technology, computational storage devices are assigned by a NIC processor of a computational network interface controller (NIC) to storage locations corresponding to respective partitions of an n-dimensional space. One of the storage locations to which a data location in the n-dimensional space maps is then identified by the NIC processor. The data location is determined based on a hash for data associated with a received storage operation. The NIC processor subsequently communicates via a system bus with a storage processor of one of the computational storage device to service the storage operation. The storage processor is coupled directly to flash media of the one of the computational storage device that is assigned to the one of the storage locations and maintains a key/value store comprising the data.

A message with executable code is received by a processor that utilizes the message to generate a key associated with a value having executable code stored at a key-value store. The processor retrieves the value from the key-value store using the generated key. The processor then merges the executable code in the received message and the executable code in the retrieved value to generate a merged value for code execution.
