Patent number: 11880280Abstract: A plurality of data objects is generated from a data stream received for constructing a backup image. A stream size of the data stream is determined. For each multi-threaded put operation used to write a data object of the plurality of data objects to a cloud storage, a maximum number of threads is determined into which the data object can be separated into a number of parts for simultaneous transmission to the cloud storage. A part size of each part is determined. A number of multi-threaded put operations is determined for writing the plurality of data objects to the cloud storage based, at least in part, on the stream size, the maximum number of threads into which the data object can be separated, and the part size. The plurality of data objects is stored into the cloud storage using the number of multi-threaded put operations.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: John Keith Fullbright, Mark Duane Beaupre, Nilesh Pradeepkumar Maheshwari

Patent number: 9946609Abstract: A backup tool can manage multi-level backup into a cloud and restoration from the cloud. The backup tool can request a data source to stream backup data to the backup tool, and the backup tool can then generate data objects from the data stream for storing into the cloud. The backup tool generates the data objects in accordance with serialization of the data stream. The order of the data objects resulting from the data stream serialization is encoded into the names of the data objects. In addition, the backup tool encodes the backup level into the object names. With sequencing and backup level encoded into the data object names, the data objects can be stored in the cloud for later restoration.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: James Namboorikandathil Joseph, John Keith Fullbright, Vijay Srinath

Publication number: 20160218991Abstract: Systems and methods provision isolated paths from virtual private clouds to corresponding storage virtual machines. In response to a determination that resources for a first tenant of the virtual private cloud are to be provisioned, a subnet for the virtual private cloud is created, where the subnet does not overlap with any other subnet on a network associated with the virtual private cloud. A first VLAN is created on a gateway communicably coupled to the storage server. A first storage virtual machine (SVM) associated with the tenant is created. One or more storage volumes of one or more storage devices are associated with the SVM, where the one or more storage volumes are not allocated to any other SVM.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2015Publication date: July 28, 2016Inventors: Dekel Sharabi, Michael Yakobi, Hili Erel-Gichon, Tzachi Strugo, John Keith Fullbright, Mark Duane Beaupre

Patent number: 9383924Abstract: Techniques for reclaiming storage space are disclosed herein. According to one embodiment, a storage space reclamation method includes a storage host creating at least one temporary logical container of data in a storage volume managed by a file system of a host so that a predetermined portion of storage capacity of the storage volume is occupied. Access to the storage volume is provided by a network storage controller to the storage host. The storage host translates a host address range for the file system of each temporary logical container of data into a storage controller address range for the network storage controller. The storage host requests the network storage controller to deallocate blocks the locations of which are indicated by the storage controller address range, and then deletes the at least one temporary logical container of data.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: John Keith Fullbright, Clinton Douglas Knight
