  • Patent number: 11550490
    Abstract: Scalable storage cluster mirroring is disclosed. A compute instance comprising a processor device determines that storage segments have been modified on a first storage node of a plurality of storage nodes in a first cluster of storage nodes at a first data modification rate. In response to determining that the storage segments have been modified on the first storage node at the first data modification rate, a first mirror process that is configured to copy storage segments from an identified storage node to a mirrored cluster of storage nodes is initiated, and a storage node identifier that identifies the first storage node is communicated to the first mirror process.

  • Publication number: 20210294783
    Abstract: According to one example, a method includes receiving from a client device, a data object for storage within an object storage system, performing a plurality of hashes on the data object tenant profile data associated with the data object to determine one of a plurality of object storage devices to which to store the data object, and autoscaling the object storage device based on active compute jobs associated with data objects stored on the object storage device.
