  • Methods and apparatus for array agnostic automated storage tiering
    Patent number: 10225162
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide, in a cloud infrastructure environment, an array agnostic automated storage tiering mechanism, wherein storage array types may be different. A user can select storage with an automated storage tiering policy while details of the storage are abstracted for the user. In embodiments, tiering policies determine a location for data based upon activity associated with the data.

  • Method and apparatus for topology driven zoning
    Patent number: 8725878
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to create zones for ports from a storage layer to a compute layer both coupled to a storage area network switch. In one embodiment, the storage layer includes ports in field replaceable unit (FRU) port groups, the port groups in FRU adapters, and the adapters in FRU adapter groups. The ports can be selected to minimize single points of failure.
