  • Performing data storage operations with a cloud environment, including containerized deduplication, data pruning, and data transfer
    Patent number: 9171008
    Abstract: Various systems and methods may be used for performing data storage operations, including content-indexing, containerized deduplication, and policy-driven storage, within a cloud environment. The systems support a variety of clients and cloud storage sites that may connect to the system in a cloud environment that requires data transfer over wide area networks, such as the Internet, which may have appreciable latency and/or packet loss, using various network protocols, including HTTP and FTP. Methods for content indexing data stored within a cloud environment may facilitate later searching, including collaborative searching. Methods for performing containerized deduplication may reduce the strain on a system namespace, effectuate cost savings, etc. Methods may identify suitable storage locations, including suitable cloud storage sites, for data files subject to a storage policy.

  • EXTERNAL FIXATOR WITH Y STRUT
    Publication number: 20150272624
    Abstract: An external fixation system includes top and bottom fixation plates that may be connected to fragments of a bone. At least one y-shaped strut attaches the two fixation plates. Each y-shaped strut has first, second and third telescopic struts coupled at a connector joint. The first strut member is coupled to the top fixation plate and the second and third strut members are coupled to the bottom fixation plate. Each strut member may include a joint and may also include an actuation unit connecting the particular strut member to the top or bottom fixation plate. Rotation of a head portion of the actuation unit causes rotation of a threaded rod, causing adjustment in the length of the respective strut member. As the lengths of the strut members change, the joints may reposition, leading to the top fixation plate becoming repositioned with respect to the bottom fixation plate.

  • MAINTAINING A DEDUPLICATION DATABASE
    Publication number: 20150261792
    Abstract: An information management system can modify working copies of database entries residing in a local database of a secondary storage computing device in response to instructions to modify the database entries residing in a deduplication database. If the working copy does not already reside in the local database, a copy of the database entry, or portion thereof, from the deduplication database can be used to generate the working copy. Based on a desired policy, the working copies in the local database can be merged with the actual database entries in the deduplication database.

  • MANAGING DELETIONS FROM A DEDUPLICATION DATABASE
    Publication number: 20150261776
    Abstract: An information management system can manage the removal of data block entries in a deduplicated data store using working copies of the data block entries residing in a local data store of a secondary storage computing device. The system can use the working copies to identify data blocks for removal. Once the deduplication database is updated with the changes to the working copies (e.g., using a transaction based update scheme), the system can query the deduplication database for the database entries identified for removal. Once identified, the system can remove the database entries identified for pruning and/or the corresponding deduplication data blocks from secondary storage.

  • Client-side repository in a networked deduplicated storage system
    Patent number: 9116850
    Abstract: A storage system according to certain embodiments includes a client-side repository (CSR). The CSR may communicate with a client at a higher data transfer rate than the rate used for communication between the client and secondary storage. During copy operations, for instance, some or all of the data being backed up or otherwise copied to secondary storage is stored in the CSR. During restore operations, copies of the data stored in the CSR is accessed from the CSR instead of from secondary storage, improving performance. Remaining data blocks not stored in the CSR can be restored from secondary storage.
