Publication number: 20150052382Abstract: A storage provider executing a plurality of Web servers is provided for receiving a request from a management console managing a plurality of virtual machines. The management console uses a same address to send the request, regardless of which Web server is selected to process the request. The selected Web server re-sends the request to a second storage provider node instance, when a first storage provider node instance fails to process the request, where the first and the second storage provide node instances are executed by the storage provider as virtual machines for providing failover in processing requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2013Publication date: February 19, 2015Applicant: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Daniel Andrew Sarisky, Jonathan Kenneth Rippy, Dale Holloway, Santosh C.

Publication number: 20140143217Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing data policy management over application objects in a storage system environment. An application object may comprise non-virtual or virtual objects (e.g., non-virtual-based applications, virtual-based applications, or virtual storage components). An application object manager may represent application objects by producing mapping graphs and/or application object data that represent application objects in a standardized manner. A mapping graph for an application object may describe a mapping between the application object and its underlying storage objects on a storage system. Application object data may describe a mapping graph in a standardized format. Application object data representing application objects may be received by an application policy manager that manages data policies on the application objects (including virtual applications and virtual storage components) based on the received application object data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2014Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Neelesh Thakur, Kumar Parthasarathi, Vani Bappanadu, Santosh C.

Patent number: 7864758Abstract: A storage switch in accordance with an embodiment of the invention is a highly scalable switch that allows the creation of a SAN that is easy to deploy and that can be centrally managed. Moreover, such a storage switch also allows the deployment of a global infrastructure, allowing the resources of the SAN, such as storage devices, to essentially be positioned anywhere on the globe. Further, such a storage switch allows a multi-protocol SAN, e.g., one that includes both iSCSI or Fibre Channel, and processes data packets at “wire speed.” To further enable wire-speed processing, a switch in accordance with the invention has “intelligence” distributed to each of its linecards, through which it classifies packets into data and control packets, it performs virtualization functions, and it performs protocol translation functions. A switch in accordance with the invention further performs serverless storage services such as mirroring, snapshot, and replication.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2002Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Santosh C.

Patent number: 7539824Abstract: A system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention provides Quality of Service (QoS) for Storage Access. Such QoS is partially enabled in one embodiment by the automatic pooling of storage devices and provisioning virtual targets from those pools. QoS is enforced in one embodiment by keeping the bandwidth for each connection within a specified range, and particularly, by controlling the number of allowed concurrent requests from an initiator. Load balancing is also provided in one embodiment, improving response times for requests, further easing the ability to provide QoS.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2005Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Santosh C.
