  • Patent number: 12072798
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cleaning a storage system. A deduplicated storage system is cleaned by identifying structures that include dead or unreferenced segments. This includes processing recipes to identify the segments that are no longer part of a live object recipe. Then, the dead segments are removed. This is accomplished by copying forward the live segments and then deleting, as a whole, the structure that included the dead segments.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11416460
    Abstract: Described is a system for a providing a service (or microservice) for performing deduplication for an object storage. The service (or microservice) may be source-agnostic in that it may receive data from multiple types of source systems by providing a uniform set of functions for deduplicating and writing the data to a destination object storage. The set of functions encapsulate a previously dispersed set of functionality provided by various components. Accordingly, the service provides a single scalable and stateless component for performing deduplication. For example, the service (e.g. deduplication service) may receive object related information and perform a filtering to accelerate network transfers. Accordingly, the service provides the ability to only transfer and write data that does not already exist on the object storage.
