Abstract: An illustrative approach to managing snapshots streamlines how and when snapshots are generated in a storage management system, such that fewer snapshots may be generated without diminishing the scope of data protection. A novel unified-snapshot storage policy may govern snapshots for any number of subclients. A unified-snapshot job based on the unified-snapshot storage policy enables the illustrative storage management system to automatically discover relevant components and generate at most one snapshot per target logical unit number (“LUN”) in a storage array. Each snapshot may comprise the data of any number of subclients and/or clients in the storage management system. Accordingly, one unified-snapshot job may yield a minimum but sufficient number of snapshots comprising data of all subclients associated with the governing unified-snapshot storage policy. An enhanced storage manager may manage the unified-snapshot jobs.

Abstract: A dynamic spectrum arbitrage (DSA) system may include a dynamic spectrum policy controller (DPC) and a dynamic spectrum controller (DSC) that together dynamically manage the allocation and use of resources (e.g., spectrum resources) across different networks. A dynamic spectrum arbitrage application part (DSAAP) protocol/component/module may allow, facilitate, support, or augment communications between the DSC and DPC so as to improve the efficiency and speed of the DSA system. The DSAAP may allow the DPC and/or DSC components to better pool resources across the different networks, better monitor traffic and resource usage in the various networks, to more efficiently communicate bids and bidding information, to quickly and efficiently register and deregister components, and better perform backoff operations.

Abstract: A storage module may be configured to organize data to be moved from an initial storage location to a destination storage location into sets, and to determine whether to commit the data to the destination storage location on a set-by-set basis. Error correction and/or a post write and read process may be performed on the sets that are copied to the destination storage location to determine whether to commit each of the copied sets.

Abstract: A memory system logs failures to optimize garbage collection in partial bad blocks that are reused in non-volatile memory. A failure in a primary block may be logged in an inverse global address table. A garbage collection operation can reference the log in order to automatically avoid the failure in the primary block when the primary block is picked as the source block for garbage collection. Likewise, the garbage collection operation may scan only the logged wordlines in the secondary block when the secondary block is picked as the source block for garbage collection.

Abstract: A method and system for folding only a portion of data from an SLC block to an MLC block is described. The method includes identifying word lines with only valid data and word lines with non-valid data in a selected SLC block, copying data only from word lines with valid data to a destination MLC block and copying data from word lines in the selected SLC block with non-valid data to a separate SLC compaction block. The system includes a first controller module configured to scan for word lines with only valid data and pass only a bitmap regarding valid and invalid word lines to a second controller module. The second controller module is configured to perform on-chip folding of data from valid word lines, and to copy data from invalid data word lines to an SLC compaction block.

Abstract: A data storage environment can include one or more virtual clients instantiated on a host proxy computing device. The virtual clients may have only indirect access to a storage device, and may access the storage device via the proxy computing device. For example, the proxy computing device receives storage operation requests from one of the virtual clients, such as a request to create, mount or revert a snapshot of virtual client data. The proxy computing device generally acts as an intermediary between the virtual clients and the storage device to carry out the snapshots or other storage operations. The proxy computing device may further receive a notification upon completion of the storage operations, and transmits relevant data to the requesting virtual client regarding the storage operation.

Abstract: The illustrative systems and methods consolidate storage-array command channels into a media agent that executes outside the production environment. A “snapshot-control media agent” (“snap-MA”) is configured on a secondary storage computing device that operates apart from client computing devices. A “forwarder” media agent operates on each client computing device that uses the storage array, yet lacks command channels to the storage array. Likewise, a “forwarder” proxy media agent may operate without command channels to the storage array. No third-party libraries or storage-array-command devices are installed or needed on the host computing device. The forwarder media agent forwards any commands directed at the storage array to the snap-MA on the secondary storage computing device. The snap-MA receives and processes commands directed at the storage array that were forwarded by the forwarder media agents. Responses from the storage array are transmitted to the respective forwarder media agent.

Abstract: An information management system according to certain aspects may determine whether snapshot operations will work prior to executing them. The system may check various factors or parameters relating to a snapshot storage policy to verify whether the storage policy will work at runtime without actually executing the policy. Some examples of factors can include: availability of primary storage devices for which a snapshot should be obtained, availability of secondary storage devices, license availability for snapshot software, user credentials for connecting to primary and/or second storage devices, available storage capacity, connectivity to storage devices, etc. The system may also check whether a particular system configuration is supported in connection with snapshot operations. The result of the determination can be provided in the form of a report summarizing any problems found with the snapshot storage policy.

Abstract: A method and system for utilizing snapshots to provide copies of a database or other application or large data structure to computing devices receives a request for access to a copy of a database, and performs a snapshot of a storage volume containing the requested database. The system then clones the snapshot and mounts the snapshot to a computing device, thus enabling the computing device to access a copy of the database. In some examples, the system automatically updates copies of a database on a scheduled basis (e.g., daily or weekly basis) to refresh a database regularly.

Abstract: Methods and system are provided for managing and monitoring allocation of RF spectrum resources based on time, space and frequency. A network may be enabled to allocate excess spectrum resources for use by other network providers on a real-time basis. Allocated resources may be transferred from one provider with excess resources to another in need of additional resources based on contractual terms or on a real-time purchase negotiations and settlements. A network may be enabled to monitor the use of allocated resources on real-time basis and off-load or allow additional users depending on the spectrum resources availability. Public safety networks may be enabled to make spectrum resources available to general public by allocating spectrum resources and monitoring the use of those resources. During an emergency, when traffic increases on a public safety network, the public safety networks may off-load bandwidth traffic to make available necessary resources for public safety users.
