  • Patent number: 12135891
    Abstract: A storage service supports attachment of multiple clients to a distributed storage object and further supports persistent reservations that govern types of access the respective clients are granted with respect to the distributed storage object. In order to efficiently distribute reservation state changes to multiple partitions of the distributed storage object hosted by different data storage units/servers, existing connections are used between the data storage units/servers hosting the partitions of the distributed storage object and the connected clients to propagate reservation state changes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12086445
    Abstract: A data storage system stores a plurality of partitions for a volume and at least one parity partition for the volume. The parity partition includes erasure encoded data that enables any one of the partitions to be reconstructed using the erasure encoded data of the parity partition. Additionally, the data storage system is configured to generate parity data updates in response to modifications to the volume and store updated parity data in the parity partition, such that a current state of any of the partitions of the volume can be re-created in response to a loss of one of the partitions.

  • Patent number: 11853587
    Abstract: A fault-tolerant data storage system associates durability requirements of service level agreements (SLAs) for volumes stored in the fault-tolerant data storage system with volume partitions stored in the fault-tolerant data storage system. For a given volume partition, volume data is stored in two or more replicas on two or more different system components and/or erasure encoded across multiple other system components. The fault-tolerant data storage system uses the respective durability requirements of the SLAs and failure statistics of the system components to allocate bandwidth for replacing lost instances of redundantly stored volume data such that the lost data is replaced within a target time calculated to guarantee the durability requirements of the SLAs are satisfied.
