  • Patent number: 10474388
    Abstract: An exemplary system preserves the autonomy of two or more distinct storage management systems all the while enabling backed up data to be restored from a first storage management system (the “local system”) to a specially-configured client in a second storage management system (the “remote system”). For example, backed up data in the local system (e.g., a secondary copy of production data) may be transferred, in a restore operation, from secondary storage in the local storage management system, which originated the data, to a client of the remote storage management system (the “remote client”). As a specially-configured “restore-only client,” the remote client is limited to receiving backed up data from the local storage management system, via restore operation(s) managed by the local storage manager. The remote client remains a full-fledged client in its home system, the remote storage management system.

  • Publication number: 20190271053
    Abstract: The invention relates to a steel strip for producing a non-oriented electrical steel. To achieve greatly improved frequency-independent magnetic properties, in particular greatly reduced hysteresis losses, in comparison with known electrical steels, the following alloy composition in wt % is proposed: C: ?0.03, Al: 1 to 12, Si: 0.3 to 3.5, Mn: >0.25 to 10, Cu: >0.05 to 3.0, Ni: >0.01 to 5.0, total of N, S and P: at most 0.07, remainder iron and smelting-related impurities, with the optional addition of one or more elements from the group Cr, Mo, Zn and Sn, wherein the steel strip has an insulation layer substantially consisting of Al2O3 and/or SiO2 with a thickness in the range from 10 ?m to 100 ?m. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a steel strip.

  • Patent number: 10248494
    Abstract: A lightweight always-on monitoring, collecting, diagnosing, and correcting utility operates in an enhanced storage manager that manages a data storage managements system. The always-on utility provides a comprehensive and pro-active approach, which is intended to reduce, if not altogether eliminate, the need for after-the-fact diagnostics. The always-on utility also enforces so-called best practices and other heuristics, which include pro-actively activating certain database settings that are not enabled by default; manipulating certain aspects of the database to improve performance; and reporting aspects that are outside best-practice parameters to the trouble report system so that system administrators and/or developers may intervene before a catastrophic failure occurs. In some cases, the best-practice parameters represent heuristics designed by the present inventors to improve the performance and general health of the management database.

  • Publication number: 20180373601
    Abstract: A media agent is configured to perform substantially autonomously to initiate, continue, and manage information management operations such as a backup job of a certain client's primary data, manage the operations, and generate and store resultant system-level metadata from the operations, etc. The media agent is configured to do this even when out of communication with the storage manager that manages the information management system. When communications are restored, the media agent reports the relevant metadata to the storage manager. The storage manager comprises corresponding enhancements, including specialized logic for identifying the media agent as an intelligent media agent capable of some autonomous functionality, for transmitting management parameters thereto, and for seamlessly integrating the received metadata into the storage manager's associated management infrastructure such as a management database.

  • Patent number: 9648100
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for cross-system storage management for transferring data across autonomous information management systems. Data may be transferred from one information management system to another information management system without interfering with or overriding each system's autonomy. For example, a secondary copy of production data (e.g., backed up data) is transferred from a first information management system that originated the data to a component of another “foreign” information management system. A first storage manager that manages the first information management system also manages the cross-system data transfer operation to a “foreign” client computing device, which remains under autonomous management as a component of the foreign information management system.
