Abstract: A set of device maintenance related data is received from each of a plurality of non-volatile memory modules. Each of the plurality of non-volatile memory modules comprise a plurality of non-volatile memory devices. Based at least in part on said set of device maintenance related data a maintenance operation to be performed is determined. The determined device maintenance related operation is performed.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the technology relate to a method and system for storing and reading data from persistent storage. More specifically, embodiments of the technology relate to a method and system for storing data in persistent storage, where the data written to the persistent storage is not immediately accessible in the persistent storage (i.e., during the inaccessibility period). In such instances, embodiments of the technology provide a method and system to enable the storage system to service read requests for the data using a primary cache entry table (PCET) and an overflow table.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the technology relate to a method and system for performing fast ordered writes in a storage appliance that includes multiple separate storage modules. More specifically, embodiments of the technology enable multicasting of data to multiple storage modules in a storage appliance, where the order in which the write requests are processed is the same across all storage modules in the storage appliance.

Abstract: A request is received via a message submission queue. The request is sent from a core associated with an external processor coupled by a communication interface. The message submission queue is associated with a memory access engine circuit configured to perform one or more memory access functions. The memory access engine circuit is used to dequeuer a next message from its corresponding message submission queue. The memory access engine circuit is used to perform a message function invoked by the message. The memory access engine circuit is used to receive a result of performing the message function. The memory access engine circuit is used to prepare and send to an external processing core that sent the message a response message determined based at least in part on the result.

Abstract: A system for implementing a failover policy includes a cluster infrastructure for managing a plurality of nodes, a high availability infrastructure for providing group and cluster membership services, and a high availability script execution component operative to receive a failover script and at least one failover attribute and operative to produce a failover domain. In addition, a method for determining a target node for a failover comprises executing a failover script that produces a failover domain, the failover domain having an ordered list of nodes, receiving a failover attribute and based on the failover attribute and failover domain, selecting a node upon which to locate a resource.

Abstract: A cache server receives wear usage information associated with a storage device, and receives an object to be cached in the storage device. The cache server also determines whether to store the object in the storage device based on the wear usage information. The cache server provides the object to the storage device for storage when it is determined that the object is to be stored in the storage device, and prevents the object from being stored in the storage device when it is determined that the object is not to be stored in the storage device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus stores media content in a variety of storage devices, with at least a portion of the storage devices having different performance characteristics. The system can deliver media to a large number of clients while maintaining a high level of viewing experience for each client by automatically adapting the bit rate of a media being delivered to a client using the client's last mile bit rate variation. The system provides clients with smooth viewing of video without buffering stops. The client does not need a custom video content player to communicate with the system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus optimizes storage on solid-state memory devices. The system aggregates object storage write requests. The system determines whether objects associated with the object storage requests that have been aggregated fit in a block of the solid-state memory device within a defined tolerance. Upon the aggregation of object storage write requests that fit in a block of the solid-state memory device, the system writes the objects associated with the aggregated object storage write requests to the solid-state memory device.
