  • Process for verification of randomly generated I/O requests
    Patent number: 9934094
    Abstract: A sequence number is assigned to a data storage operation targeted for a persistent data storage device. The sequence number is used to seed a random number generator. A random sequence is obtained from the random number generator, each element of the random sequence being used to generate characteristics of the operation. The data storage operation is fulfilled in accordance with the characteristics, the characteristics being subsequently determinable using the sequence number.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of emulating access to a sequential access data storage device while actually using a random access storage device
    Patent number: 5454098
    Abstract: A method of emulating a sequential data storage device on a random access device to permit the transfer of information in a sequential format between a host computer and a random access storage media. Commands for storing information in the sequential format from the host are transformed into commands to store data on the random access media. Commands for retrieving information in a sequential format are provided by the host to retrieve the stored information from the random access media. The commands for retrieving information are transformed into commands that retrieve the data on the random access media. Once the data is retrieved, it is then provided to the host.
