Abstract: In some embodiments, a method inserts, by a first computing device, a first value for a capability in a first message that is used in a process to automatically exchange capability values with a second computing device. The first value for the capability indicates the first computing device requires a default route to reach the second computing device as a next hop for sending a packet to a destination. The first computing device sends the first message to the second computing device; and receives a second value for the capability in a second message from the second computing device. The second value indicating the second computing device will send the default route to reach the second computing device. When the default route is received from the second computing device, the first computing device stores the default route from the second computing device in a route table.

Abstract: A method of generating a hybrid snapshot includes receiving a request to generate a snapshot of a distributed file system and identifying a first storage resource of the distributed file system and a second storage resource of the distributed file system based on the request. The method further includes generating the snapshot of the distributed file system, the snapshot including a data-full snapshot of the first storage resource and a data-less snapshot of the second storage resource.

Abstract: A system includes a virtual private network (VPN) gateway and a client device. The VPN gateway receives a domain name system response through a physical coding sublayer. The VPN gateway fetches a fully qualified domain name corresponding to the domain name system response, and fetches one or more access control list rules from an access control list table for a specific user account. The VPN gateway installs an Internet protocol (IP) address in the access control list table for each access control list rule and handles requested data traffic to the IP address. The client device creates a virtual tunnel interface route with a port of a transmission control protocol (TCP) listener device and parses the domain name system response. The client device updates a domain name system cache with the fully qualified domain name and the IP address and sends unencrypted network traffic over the virtual tunnel interface route.

Abstract: Embodiments for optimizing file lookups after a file or directory rename operation. Files are defined using inode, dirent, and hash entries, and the name space of the files are stored in a B?Tree using file system conventions in which the inode, dirent, and hash values are referenced by the directory first followed by the inode number, as in a first data structure denoted [directory:inode]. Upon a rename of a file, the old inode, dirent, and hash entries are deleted, and a reference is created to the old name using the inode number first followed by the old directory, as in a second data structure denoted [inode:old_directory], and this reference is used as a forward link to the new file under the new directory name.

Abstract: Described is a system for distributing multiple phases of a deduplication processing amongst of set of nodes. The system may perform a load-balancing in configurations where multiple generations of backup data are redirected to the same host node, and thus, require the host node to perform certain storage processes such as writing new backup data to its associated physical storage. Accordingly, the system may perform an initial (or first phase) processing on a first node that is selected based on resource usage or classification (e.g. metadata storing node). The system may then perform a subsequent (or second phase) processing on a second, or host node, that is selected based on the node already storing previous generations of the backup data. Accordingly, the system still redirects processing to a host node, but provides the ability to delegate certain deduplication operations to additional nodes.

Abstract: In one example, a method includes receiving metadata in the form of a modification to metadata represented by a file system namespace abstraction, wherein the file system namespace abstraction corresponds to less than an entire file system namespace, and the file system namespace abstraction includes one or more pages, and one of the pages corresponds to a particular cached block, updating the file system namespace abstraction based on the received metadata, determining if caching is enabled for the file system namespace abstraction, when caching is enabled for the file system namespace abstraction, caching the updated file system namespace abstraction in SSD storage that includes the cached block, and maintaining a status of the cached block in a Dtable of the SSD storage.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method inserts, by a first computing device, a first value for a capability in a first message that is used in a process to automatically exchange capability values with a second computing device. The first value for the capability indicates the first computing device requires a default route to reach the second computing device as a next hop for sending a packet to a destination. The first computing device sends the first message to the second computing device; and receives a second value for the capability in a second message from the second computing device. The second value indicating the second computing device will send the default route to reach the second computing device. When the default route is received from the second computing device, the first computing device stores the default route from the second computing device in a route table.

Abstract: Distributed deduplication wherein runtime performance of dedup pipelines in all nodes is monitored. The bottleneck for each pipeline is identified and machine resources from different nodes are reallocated to seek to balance the costs of each stage of each task in each of the pipelines. While the overall cost for each task may remain the same, stalls may be eliminated such that the total cost to complete all the tasks is reduced. The global dedup ratio and the local compression ratio may be used to weight certain stage costs.

Abstract: An intelligent method of selecting a data recovery site upon receiving a data recovery request. The backup system collects historical activity data of the storage system to identify work load of every data recovery site. A predicted activity load for each data recovery site is then generated using the collected data. When a request for data recovery is received, the system first identifies which data recovery site has copies of the files to be recovered. Then it uses the predicted work load for these data recovery sites to determine whether to use a geographically local site or a site that may be remote geographically, but has a lower work load.

Abstract: In one example, a method for writing data includes receiving a write request and performing a first type of logging process in connection with the write request, and creating a corresponding first logging record. Additionally, a second type of logging process is performed in connection with the write request, and a corresponding second logging record created, where the second type of logging process is different from the first type of logging process. Next, a determination is made, as between the two logging records, which of the logging records requires the least amount of non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM), and the logging record that requires the least amount of NVRAM is written to the NVRAM.
