Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for protection and recovery of backup storage systems from ransomware attacks. A request to modify data stored in a storage system is received. The storage system includes at least one component configured to store the deduplicated data. An acknowledgement of the received request is generated. The acknowledgement indicates that the data stored in the at least one component and identified in the received request was modified. Modification of the data stored in the at least one component and identified in the received request for a predetermined period of time is prevented.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for performing deduplication of data using a scalable deduplication grid are disclosed. A listing of a plurality of zone stamps is generated, where each zone stamp represents a zone in the plurality of zones in a data stream. The listing contains a logical arrangement of the plurality of zone stamps obtained from each storage location and being accessible by a plurality of servers. A first zone stamp in the listing is compared to a second zone stamp in the listing. The first and second zones are delta-compressed based on a determination that the first zone stamp is substantially similar to the second zone stamp. A server is selected to perform the comparison and delta-compression.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer-implemented method for performing multi-level deduplication of data are disclosed. A zone stamp is generated for each zone in a plurality of zones contained in at least one data stream. The zone stamp is compared to another zone stamp. The zone stamp and another zone stamp represent zones in the plurality of zones. The comparison is performed for zones at corresponding zone levels based on a determination that a zone stamp of a zone of a preceding zone level is not similar to another zone stamp of another preceding zone level. The zone at the preceding zone level includes at least one zone of a next zone level having a size smaller than or equal to a size of the zone of the preceding zone level. The zone and another zone are deduplicated based on a determination that the zone stamp is similar to another zone stamp.

Abstract: A code generator utilizes a “generated_source” directory to store corresponding machine-generated software code. A “modified_source” directory stores user-written modifications associated with software generated by the code generator. During code generation, the code generator checks the modified_source directory for a class presently being generated by the code generator. If there are no user modifications (stored in the modified_source directory) associated with the class being processed, the code generator creates an implementation of the class. If the modified_source directory contains an implementation of the class being processed, the code generator creates an implementation of a base class for the class being processed. The base class is created in the generated_source directory, preserving the class created by the user.

Abstract: Application code maintenance often imposes rebuilding and/or a patch kit update from a source code vendor. Users of such applications often find such conventional rebuilds and install efforts intrusive. An extensible object-relational (O-R) model operable for dynamic additions to an existing baseline of modeled data specifications mitigates interim patches and builds by employing a scripted modeling form and a corresponding relational form. The scripted modeling form, such as an XML file, is readily modifiable from existing data specifications, such as those driven by a recognized standard, while the relational form is seamlessly updated within an existing application environment without requiring rebuilding or patch kits to implement. The extensible O-R model defines data characteristics of data specifications, and the relational model is updated by instantiating an object or entry into the modeled relational specifications based on the extensible O-R model.

Abstract: A storage management system for managing storage resources of a plurality of computer devices in a computer network includes a plurality of management agents, each of which is installed in a corresponding one of the plurality of computer devices, and each of which is configured to compile storage information of storage resources accessible by the corresponding computer device to create a first set of compiled storage information, and a storage manager installed in the server. The storage manager is configured to collect the first set of compiled storage information from each of the management agents and to further compile the first sets of storage information received to create a second set of compiled storage information. The storage management system further includes a user interface operatively coupled to the server manager to allow a user to access the second set of compiled storage information.

Abstract: A data processing system which includes a central processor unit which has an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) for performing fixed point arithmetic operations and a separate floating point unit (FPU) for performing floating point operations and which uses multi-level microcode architecture wherein each unit has its own control store (a "horizontal" store) which responds to addresses of execution control signals supplied thereto from a common control store (a "vertical" store) to produce horizontal microinstructions for performing ALU and FPU operations, respectively. Selected ones of such addresses are recognized for ALU operations by the CPU control store only, other selected ones are recognized for FPU operations by the FPU control store only, while still other selected ones are recognized for both ALU and FPU operations by both control stores so that such operations can be performed simultaneously in parallel.
