  • Patent number: 10599605
    Abstract: A simplified host accesses SATA and SAS storage media devices by abstracting the SATA and SAS protocols with one full duplex protocol that supports full command queuing to each storage media device, whether SATA or SAS, where the abstraction protocol is performance-centric and supports common high-level read and write access to a pool of storage media devices, each of which may have a SATA or SAS interface. The abstraction protocol is link-agnostic and may be carried via a multiplicity of direct attach or networked interfaces, including but not limited to PCIe, Ethernet (e.g., 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 40 GbE, or 100 GbE), Infiniband, ThunderBolt, Firewire, USB, and/or custom interfaces.

  • Patent number: 10359956
    Abstract: A shared counter resource, such as a register, is disclosed in the hardware, where the register representing how much free space there is in the command queue is accessible to one or more processing elements. When a processing element reads the “reservation” register, the hardware automatically decrements the available free space by a preconfigured amount (e.g., 1) and returns the value of the free space immediately prior to the read/reservation. If the read returns 0 (or a number less than the preconfigured amount), there was insufficient free space to satisfy the request. In the event there was insufficient space to satisfy the request the reservation register may be configured to reserve however much space was available or to not reserve any space at all. Any number of processing elements may read these registers and various scenarios are described where the input and output queues are accessible via various processing elements.

  • Patent number: 10048895
    Abstract: A storage controller controlling said plurality of storage media devices receives one or more commands from a queue representing a load, identifies a set of weighted storage regions having the mid-range access rate to target a mid-range performance level that is enough to service the load; and distributes the load based on the mid-range performance level by utilizing only the set of weighted storage regions having the mid-range access rate thereby targeting the mid-range performance level that is enough to service the load.

  • Patent number: 9813313
    Abstract: A storage system that is not a video management system (VMS) offloads load of the VMS by passively monitoring network traffic originating at a source intended for the VMS, automatically detecting video data in at least a portion of the monitored network traffic, and offloading load of the VMS by storing the video data in the storage system instead of the VMS. In another scenario, A storage system passively monitors network traffic originating at a source intended for a VMS, automatically detects both high-resolution and low-resolution video data from the source in at least a portion of the monitored network traffic, and stores the high-resolution video data in the storage system instead of the VMS.

  • Patent number: 9590816
    Abstract: A packetized streaming media delivery network carries many “streams” of differing media content. They often are from multiple sources and of different media types. The invention consists of a scalable hardware and/or software computing element resolving the network traffic into its individual streams for focused, simultaneous, and continuous real-time monitoring and analysis. The monitoring and analysis consists of delay factor and media loss rate which measure the cumulative jitter of the streaming media within the delivery network and the condition of the media payload. These measurements form a powerful picture of network problem awareness and resolution. The delay factor objectively indicates the contribution of the network devices in the streams' path, allowing for both problem prediction and indication. In one example, tapping a packetized network at various locations allows for correlation of the same-stream performance at various network points to pinpoint the source(s) of the impairment(s).
