Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards consistently replicating and reconstructing a data stream made up of a dynamic set of (ordered) segments into a different location (e.g., cluster) from the one in which the stream was created. The technology facilitates consistently and generally continuously and replicating a stream of events ingested in a source cluster to a target cluster for consumption (reading). As stream data segments are replicated to a target cluster by a replicator which is not guaranteed to keep the replicated data consistent, a target controller reconstructs the replicated data stream up to a stream cut point at which the replicated data has been sufficiently replicated so as to be consistent. Reading of the replicated data stream is limited to a view up to the stream cut point; as more data is replicated, additional data up to a later stream cut point becomes available for reading.

The described technology facilitates selection of an account by the cloud credential manager based on matching the specified properties. Load balancing and storage costs can also be factors in the selection, and random selection is also available.

If so, the data agent may skip, in the cluster-level backup operation, any portion of the primary data stored in the storage server previously backed up as part of the prior server-level backup operation.

Abstract: A storage array includes a scalable drive cluster and non-scaling drive clusters on which RAID (D+P) protection groups are implemented using partition as protection group members. The scalable drive cluster is scaled by adding one or more new drives and moving protection group members onto the new drives. Reserve capacity is calculated based on scaling of the scalable drive cluster by converting unused partitions to reserve capacity when the cluster is scaled. When W=(D+P) new drives are added to the storage array the reserve capacity is replenished, if any was used, by moving protection groups from the scalable drive cluster to a non-scaling drive cluster created with the W new drives. Maintaining the reserve capacity on the scaling drive cluster improves function of the storage array because unutilized reserve capacity can be relocated during scaling without moving data.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, memory devices, and machine readable mediums for a fast secure data destruction for NAND memory devices that renders data in a memory cell unreadable. Instead of going through all the erase phases, the memory device may remove sensitive data by performing only the pre-programming phase of the erase process. Thus, the NAND doesn't perform the second and third phases of the erase process. This is much faster and results in data that cannot be reconstructed. In some examples, because the erase pulse is not actually applied and because this is simply a programming operation, data may be rendered unreadable at a per-page level rather than a per-block level as in traditional erases.

Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods control a voltage or a temperature of a memory domain to balance memory performance and energy use. In some aspects, an adaptive controller monitors memory performance metrics of a host processor that correspond to commands made to a memory domain of a memory system, including one operating at cryogenic temperatures. Based on the memory performance metrics, the adaptive controller can determine memory performance demand of the host processor, such as latency demand or bandwidth demand, for the memory domain. The adaptive controller may alter, using the determined performance demand, a voltage or a temperature of the memory domain to enable memory access performance that is tailored to meet the demand of the host processor. By so doing, the adaptive controller can manage various settings of the memory domain to address short- or long-term changes in memory performance demand.
