Publication number: 20250131013Abstract: Methods and apparatus for replication of data in storage networks. In an embodiment, a processing module(s) of a computing device identifies a first storage set and a second storage set for replicated storage of data. The processing module(s) maintains a synchronization log for the first storage set and the second storage set. After initiating storage of a data object in the first storage set and the second storage set, the processing module(s) detects an unavailability of one or more storage units of the second storage set. In response to detecting a return to availability of the one or more storage units, the processing module(s) determines, based on the synchronization log, that the second storage set requires at least a portion of the data object to maintain synchronization with the first storage set, and facilitates storage of the at least a portion of the data object in the second storage set.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: Pure Storage, Inc.Inventors: Jason K.
