Publication number: 20160124676Abstract: Methods and systems for managing, storing, and serving data within a virtualized environment are described. In some embodiments, a data management system may manage the extraction and storage of virtual machine snapshots, provide near instantaneous restoration of a virtual machine or one or more files located on the virtual machine, and enable secondary workloads to directly use the data management system as a primary storage target to read or modify past versions of data. The data management system may allow a virtual machine snapshot of a virtual machine stored within the system to be directly mounted to enable substantially instantaneous virtual machine recovery of the virtual machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2015Publication date: May 5, 2016Applicant: RUBRIK, INC.Inventors: Arvind Jain, Soham Mazumdar, Fabiano Botelho

Patent number: 9223877Abstract: An information retrieval system uses phrases to index, retrieve, organize and describe documents. Phrases are extracted from the document collection. Documents are the indexed according to their included phrases, using phrase posting lists. The phrase posting lists are stored in an cluster of index servers. The phrase posting lists can be tiered into groups, and sharded into partitions. Phrases in a query are identified based on possible phrasifications. A query schedule based on the phrases is created from the phrases, and then optimized to reduce query processing and communication costs. The execution of the query schedule is managed to further reduce or eliminate query processing operations at various ones of the index servers.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2015Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Pei Cao, Nadav Eiron, Soham Mazumdar, Anna L. Patterson, Russell Power, Yonatan Zunger

Patent number: 9057617Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying points-of-interest. In one aspect, a method includes identifying points-of-interest (POIs) associated with one or more of multiple, selected geographic areas, and determining, for each of the multiple geographic areas, a score associated with the identified POIs. The actions also include generating a combined score for each identified POI based on the determined scores associated with the respective POI, selecting a subset of the identified POIs based at least on the combined scores, and displaying a link to the POIs in the subset.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Andrei Lopatenko, Hyung-Jin Kim, Soham Mazumdar
