  • Publication number: 20250053167
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating a backup system for observability, communication, and control of autonomous systems. In some aspects, an embodiment includes initializing an instance of a backup tool to provide observability, communication, and control of a fleet of autonomous vehicles (AVs) responsive to an outage of primary fleet tool services; storing AV data received from the fleet of AVs in in-memory storage of the instance of the backup tool; populating a cache of the backup tool with semi-static data corresponding to the fleet of AVs; authenticating a user requesting access to the instance, the authenticating to utilize credentials of the user established with the primary fleet tool services; and facilitating the issuance of one or more control commands to the fleet of AVs based on the AV data stored in the in-memory storage and based on the semi-static data stored in the cache.

  • Patent number: 8055615
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for a horizontally scalable high performance object storage architecture. Metadata are completely decoupled from object storage. Instead of file names, users are given a locator when the object is uploaded and committed. Users can store the locator along with their own metadata or embed it directly in the static content. Clients can choose which storage nodes to store data on based on dynamic measures of node performance. Since there is no coupling among storage servers, performance can scale horizontally by adding more nodes. The decoupling also allows the front end services and storage to scale independently. High service availability is achieved by object-level synchronous replication and having no single point of failure. Failed nodes are rebuilt using copies of data in other nodes without taking the cluster offline. In addition to the replication, the ability to add or remove nodes on-line reduces maintenance-related service downtime.
