Publication number: 20240086335Abstract: Techniques for providing increased support for deduplication and compression of encrypted storage volumes. The techniques include receiving, at a storage virtual machine (VM), a data encryption key (DEK) associated with encrypted volume data, in which the DEK is wrapped in a key encryption key (KEK). The techniques include receiving, at the storage VM from a client virtual machine (VM), a write request specifying the encrypted volume data. The techniques include obtaining, by the storage VM, the KEK from a key management system (KMS) embedded on the storage VM. The techniques include unwrapping, by the storage VM, the DEK using the KEK, and decrypting, by an IO decryptor hosted by the storage VM, the encrypted volume data using the DEK. The techniques include performing, by the storage VM, data reduction operations on the decrypted volume data, and storing, by the storage VM, the data-reduced volume data on a storage array.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Charles W. Kaufman, Xuan Tang, George Papadopoulos, Vasu Subramanian, Jamie Pocas, Naizhong Chiu, Gregory W. Lazar

Patent number: 11841266Abstract: A fluid properties sensing system includes an optical sensor which generates a sensor signal based on received laser light, a light source which transmits laser light through a transmitting fiber to a sensor head, a receiver that detects a portion of the laser light from a receiving fiber through an evanescent field of the transmitting fiber when the laser light radiates through a transmitting fiber wall of the transmitting fiber and interacts with a fluid medium at an interface of the sensor and the fluid medium, and a processor. The fibers are coupled at one end through the evanescent field to form the sensor head disposed in a flow field and to interact with the fluid medium. The processor identifies a change in the sensor signal based on a detected portion of the laser light resulting from an interaction of the sensor head with the fluid medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Daniel Bivolaru, Jiaji Lin, George Papadopoulos

Patent number: 11698152Abstract: An improved hanger attaches to the corner of a vertical, horizontal, or angled construction member. A support member descends from the hanger and holds one or more cables against the construction member. The narrow profile of the hanger permits the placement of strapping and covering, or other construction materials, over the cables. Bumps on the support member secure the cables.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2022Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Inventor: George Papadopoulos

Patent number: 11379246Abstract: A virtual storage appliance having multiple storage processors is installed in a virtualized execution environment. Each one of the multiple virtual storage processors is a virtual machine that executes in the virtualized execution environment. At the time the virtual storage appliance is installed, properties of virtual resources provided by the virtualized execution environment to the virtual storage processors are obtained. The virtual resources provided by the virtualized execution environment to the virtual storage processors are consumed by the virtual storage processors while processing Input/Output (I/O) requests that are received by the virtual storage processors from at least one consumer application. The virtual storage processors are automatically configured in response to the properties of the virtual resources provided by the virtualized execution environment that are obtained at the time the virtual storage appliance is installed.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Michael L.

Patent number: 11381462Abstract: Aspects are described for managing a network of things and applications that are distributed, such as geographically or globally distributed. One exemplary aspect of the system and method is based on a centralized cloud-based processing unit that implements a Rule Processing Application (RPA) and compiles a set of User Rules. The execution of the User Rules is distributed across a number of independent Decision Making Algorithms (DMA). Each DMA can be implemented in one or more devices (e.g., servers, gateways, processing units, etc.) distributed across the network such as a worldwide network. One exemplary method also utilizes gateways within Local Area Networks (LANs) with the characteristics that (i) each gateway communicates with a centralized cloud-based processing unit and (ii) each gateway can respond to commands from the centralized cloud-based processing unit to alter the gateway's functionality and implement a DMA (in whole or in part).Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: YODIWO ABInventors: George Papadopoulos, Alexandros Maniatopoulos, Nikolaos Kostis, Petros Vasileiou, Sofia-Maria Dima, Per Mårtensson, Emmanouil Galetakis

Patent number: 11269516Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving content on a high-availability storage system. The content is compared to one or more entries in a static database associated with a cache memory system of the high-availability storage system. If the content does not match the one or more entries in the static database, the content is compared to one or more entries in a dynamic database associated with the cache memory system. If the content does not match the one or more entries in the dynamic database: the content is written to the cache memory system and a representation of the content is written to a temporal database associated with the cache memory system and maintained for a defined period of time.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY, LLCInventors: Philippe Armangau, Pierluca Chiodelli, George Papadopoulos

Patent number: 10637793Abstract: Described are licensing techniques that may include: receiving a license specifying a maximum limit of a resource where the maximum limit denotes a maximum allowable consumption amount of the resource; providing the maximum limit to one or more software components; and enforcing, by the one or more software components, consumption of the maximum limit of the resource whereby an actual amount of the resource consumed is not allowed to exceed the maximum limit. The maximum limit may be a maximum storage capacity limit in connection with a virtualized storage system or appliance as well as a non-virtualized storage system or appliance. Software components may enforce the maximum limit, or a dependent limit derived therefrom, on the control path and data path. Limits specified in the license, or a dependent limit determined therefrom, may denote a maximum or minimum limit.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Derek M.
