Abstract: Systems and methods for cloud object storage and versioning are provided. In an example, a cloud object storage and versioning system (COSVS) coordinates insertion of metadata into a database and data into an object store in a compute infrastructure, the compute infrastructure including the database, the object store, a data source, and a client application interacting with the data source. The COSVS has an architecture comprising a client API layer confined to provide an interface to the client application to facilitate storing or restoring of items originally obtained from the data source, and query different versions of item content originally obtained from the data source; a deduplication layer to deduplicate item content and store items originally obtained from the data source devoid of external item metadata or semantic relations among items; and a packing layer confined to store and retrieve bytes of item or object content.

Abstract: A method for managing a binary object in a database system is provided. The method may include receiving a request to store the binary object and determining if a size of the binary object is above a first threshold. If the size is less than the first threshold, the method may include storing the binary object in a database of the database system using a database communication protocol. If the size is above the first threshold, the method may include determining if the size is above a second threshold. To this end, if the size is less than the second threshold, the method may include storing the binary object in a file system of the database system using the database communication protocol. Furthermore, if the size is above the second threshold, the method may include storing the binary object in the file system using a file system communication protocol.

Abstract: Described is a data communication protocol, in which a client and server negotiate in a manner that does not require the client to retry negotiation when servers are not capable of the client-desired protocol. In one example implementation, the desired protocol is SMB 2.0 or greater. The protocol describes a create command with possibly additional context data attached for built-in extensibility, and a compound command comprising a plurality of related commands or unrelated commands. A multi-channel command requests data transfer on a separate data channel, a signed capability verification may be used to ensure that a secure connection is established, and the protocol provides the ability to transfer extended error data from the server in response to a request.

Abstract: A method for mirroring one or more data changes from a first database server to one or more second database servers. The method includes intercepting one or more operations that make one or more changes to one or more data on the first database server. After intercepting these operations, the method merges the operations into one or more chunks, adds one or more log records having the chunks into a database log. The database log includes one or more database log blocks. The method then writes the database log blocks.

Abstract: A database management system having a database component, which includes a lock manager, and a filesystem component. The filesystem component is configured to: generate a mapping between one or more filesystem access modes, one or more filesystem sharing modes and one or more database locks, receive a request from a filesystem stack to perform one or more actions on data in a database, identify a filesystem access mode and a filesystem share mode of the request, determine which one of the database locks corresponds to the filesystem access mode and the filesystem share mode of the request based on the mapping, and receive a notification lock on the data from the lock manager when no other database locks conflict with the notification lock, wherein the notification lock corresponds to the one of the database locks.

Abstract: An encrypted file system (EFS) and an underlying file transfer protocol to permit a client to encrypt, decrypt, and transfer file(s) resident on a server are disclosed. A user at a client computer can open, read, and write to encrypted files, including header information associated with encrypted files, and can add users to or remove users from an encrypted file.

Abstract: A system to perform transacted remote file operations over a network includes a client and a server. The client and server each include a transaction manager (TM) and a file system (FS). The client also includes a redirector (RDR), while the server includes a server application (SRV). The RDR receives a request for a remote transacted file operation. In response, the RDR retrieves the transaction from the request. The RDR may use the TM to marshall the transaction for transmission to the server. The RDR sends the transaction to the server over the network. The SRV component receives the transaction, which the TM and FS of the server then use to perform the file operation. The server then returns the file operation result to the client via the network.
