  • Patent number: 9092151
    Abstract: In one aspect, in general, a method for managing data includes receiving, at a data deduplication engine of a computer system, data to be stored in a data storage system, computing a first value corresponding to at least one portion of the received data, determining that the first value matches a second value stored in a collection of identifiers, each identifier corresponding to a particular portion of data stored in the data storage system, each identifier comprising a computed value corresponding to the particular portion of data and including metadata indicating a location where the particular portion of data is being stored in the data storage system, and based on the determination that the first value matches a second value stored in the collection of identifiers, reallocating one or more physical locations from corresponding one or more virtual locations to different respective one or more virtual locations.

  • Patent number: 8364891
    Abstract: A method for organizing a storage system that is scalable and fault tolerant, the method including grouping together a number D of storage elements to form the storage system, where D is more than one, constructing a storage assignment table that includes table entries, computing, for each of the storage elements, an available capacity that depends on constraints on the placement of redundant data within the storage system, summing the available capacities to form a total available capacity for the storage system; and assigning the table entries in the storage assignment table to each identify one of the storage elements, wherein the available capacity of each of the storage elements is its effective storage capacity when used as part of the storage system, wherein not all of the D storage elements that form the storage system have the same available capacity, and wherein the fraction of all table entries that identify a one of the storage elements depends upon its fraction of the total available capacity.
