Publication number: 20230367895Abstract: A method for providing access to objects associated with a particular client in a cloud storage system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of establishing a connection with a user, providing a client namespace associated with the client to the user, where the client namespace represents objects stored on the cloud storage system and objects stored on a private storage system apart from the cloud storage system, receiving a request from the user to access an object stored on the private storage system, and providing information to the user to facilitate access to the object stored on the private storage system by said user. Other systems and methods are also disclosed. Important advantages of the present invention are facilitated by separating the logic for user access (control plane) from the actual storage (Storage plane). Private file system access can still be managed from the cloud, while keeping the client data private.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Egnyte, Inc.Inventors: Hakan Ancin, Xi Chen, Amrit Jassal, Daniel H. Jung, Gregory B. Neustaetter, Sean H. Puttergill, Ramakrishnan Sundararaj, Sanjay Vedanthan, Chandra Yalangi, Ramanathan Kavasseri, Ravi Wijayaratne, Shishir Sharma

Publication number: 20230325360Abstract: A method for synchronizing a local file system (LFS) and a remote (cloud) file system (RFS) includes the step of storing events indicative of differences between the LFS and the RFS, where the events are associated with file system objects of the LFS and RFS. The method further includes the steps of prioritizing the events, generating file system operations for the events based at least in part on the prioritization of the events, and performing at least some of the file system operations to synchronize the LFS and RFS. Prioritizing the events includes defining a plurality of service classes (e.g., based on type of event, event attribute, etc.), assigning a priority to each of the service classes, and assigning each event to one of said service classes. Systems are also described. The invention allocates limited synchronization resources based on a predefined policy to synchronize important file system objects sooner.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Egnyte, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Wijayaratne, Remus Koos, Ray White, Manish Marathe, Dmitry Tisnek, Harikesavan Krishnan, Amrit Jassal

Publication number: 20230315694Abstract: A method for synchronizing a file system (FS) and a remote file system (RFS) includes monitoring the FS for FS events, generating FS event records, receiving RFS event records of RFS events, generating file system operations (FSOs) based on the FS and RFS event records, and communicating the FSOs to the FS and RFS to synchronize them. A method for generating the FSOs includes accessing a plurality of FS and/or RFS event records, processing the accessed records to generate processed event records, generating the FSOs based on the processed event records, and outputting the FSOs to cause synchronization of the FS and RFS. Systems are also described. The invention facilitates event-based, steady-state synchronization of local and remote file systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: Egnyte, Inc.Inventors: Remus Koos, Ray White, Manish Marathe, Markku Mielityinen, Amrit Jassal, Rajesh Ram, Sriram Gopalan, Aahz, Heikki J.

Patent number: 10437789Abstract: The invention prevents improper deletes of file system objects during rescan synchronizations of local and remote (cloud) file systems. File and folder deletes are validated (confirmed) during a rescan synchronization using events generated for a steady state synchronization process. Any improper deletes are fenced and not allowed to proceed during synchronization. A method for synchronizing local (LFS) and remote (RFS) file systems includes monitoring the LFS for changes, generating a first set of events as part of a first synchronization routine (e.g., a steady state synchronization routine), generating a second set of events as part of a second (rescan) synchronization routine, validating selected events of the second set with events of the first set to determine whether each of the selected events of the second set is valid or invalid, and synchronizing the file systems based on the events of the second set excluding those that have been invalidated. Storage systems are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Egnyte, Inc.Inventors: Remus Koos, Ravi Wijayaratne, Manish Marathe, Ray White, Dmitry Tisnek, Roman Levin, Harikesavan Krishnan, Hakan Ancin, Purvi Talati
