Patent number: 10691659Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for integrating copy data tokens with source code repositories. A first command associated with the version control system stores in the memory a copy of source code and a copy of the data token from the remote repository, comprising source data and mount data. A second command associated with the version control system is executed to create a version of the source code stored in the memory. Based on the execution of the second command a working copy of the copy data is created based on the data token for use with the version of the source code, comprising creating a copy of the copy data from the data source based on the source data, and mounting the working copy to the device based on the mount data, thereby automatically managing the copy data for the version control system.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2015Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Actifio, Inc.Inventors: Steven M. Blumenau, James Sullivan, Christopher Murphy

Patent number: 10613938Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for data virtualization using copy data tokens. A data token is stored that defines attributes associated with copy data, including source data, transformation data, and access data for the copy data. The access data is indicative of a set of access settings for the copy data that define how an instance of the copy data is to be created for the user, and a set of access permissions for the copy data that define an access level for the user for the copy data that defines how much of the copy data the user can access. The data token is transmitted to a remote computer storing the copy data based on the source data in the data token. A copy of the copy data that was generated based on the preparation information and the access data is received.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Actifio, Inc.Inventors: Steven M.
