Patent number: 9355144Abstract: An approach is provided for recycling information fragments in information spaces. An information management system detects a plurality of information management processes occurring in an information space. The information management processes retrieve one or more information fragments from the information space. The information management system then determines a sequence of states for each of the plurality of information management processes over a period of time and calculates a state trajectory from each of the sequence of states. The calculated state trajectories are used to predict a finite set of possible future states. The information management system uses the prediction to determine which of the one or more information fragments are recyclable and preserves the recyclable information fragments for responding to a subsequent request directed to the information space.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2009Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Sergey Boldyrev, Ian Oliver, Jukka Honkola, Ronald Brown, Olli Tyrkko, Vesa Luukkala

Patent number: 8667034Abstract: The present invention enables a storage virtualization system to identify and preserve symlinks stored in a mixed protocol NFS+CIFS NAS system. Using the results of a multi-protocol scan, a storage virtualization system may identify which data objects are symlinks. The storage virtualization system may also determine the symlinks' target path information either by monitoring access or by referring to metadata discovered during the scan. After recording this target path information, the storage virtualization system may provide symlink expansion capabilities separate from the client computer or the NAS system. In addition, this target path information may be preserved upon symlink migration to a second NAS system.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2008Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Dylan Simon, Ronald Brown, Mingzhou Joe Sun
