  • Patent number: 12130741
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a multi-tiered approach to cache compression are disclosed. A cache includes a cache controller, light compressor, and heavy compressor. The decision on which compressor to use for compressing cache lines is made based on certain resource availability such as cache capacity or memory bandwidth. This allows the cache to opportunistically use complex algorithms for compression while limiting the adverse effects of high decompression latency on system performance. To address the above issue, the proposed design takes advantage of the heavy compressors for effectively reducing memory bandwidth in high bandwidth memory (HBM) interfaces as long as they do not sacrifice system performance. Accordingly, the cache combines light and heavy compressors with a decision-making unit to achieve reduced off-chip memory traffic without sacrificing system performance.

  • Patent number: 12101382
    Abstract: Embodiments provide data in-flight (DIF) services to software applications such as virtual machines (VMs) at an application level without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a storage controller transmits an advertisement of one or more data in-flight (DIF) services supported by a storage container of the storage controller. One or more DIF services communication path is created with attributes corresponding to the DIF services supported by the storage container. The storage controller receives, over the DIF services communication path, tagged data that can include data transmitted by a virtual machine (VM) for storage in the storage container.

  • Patent number: 12050778
    Abstract: A data restoration method and a related device are provided. To avoid a data loss in a cache in a process of restoring an offline RAID system, a security area is configured in a disk, where the security area is used to back up data in the cache of a RAID controller after the RAID system is offline. Therefore, when a first instruction used to indicate that the RAID system is offline is obtained, the data in the cache may be backed up to the security area. In this way, after the RAID system is restored, the RAID system can obtain backup data of the data in the cache from the security area, to avoid problems such as an operating system startup failure or a user data loss caused by the data loss in the cache.

A second event is initiated at a second computer by sending a message that includes the first time. The second event occurs at a second time, as measured by a local clock. Because of clock error, the first time is later than the second time. Based on the first time being later than the second time, an alternate second time, that is based on the first time, is used as the time of the second event. When a third system determines the order of the two events, the first time is obtained from the first computer, and the alternate second time is obtained from the second computer, and the order of the events is determined based on a comparison of the two times.

  • Patent number: 11704203
    Abstract: Replication of a filesystem or a mount point or share may replicate all data that it consists of irrespective of where the data is stored. Replication protects data irrespective of location. One method is to replicate the filesystem namespace as is while skipping the data outside of the appliance/machine so that replication cost and time are reasonable. The data outside of the machine, like cloud/tape data is protected differently. One example method includes a data protection operation configured to replication a namespace associated with multiple data tiers. During replication, data from one of the tiers is skipped while all of the namespace metadata is replicated. The recovery restores the namespace metadata and the data that was replicated from the other tier. This may be performed in connection with cyber security, for example when replicating multi-tier data to a vault.

Results for the query are generated based on one or more items obtained by performance of the operation.

  • Patent number: 11461180
    Abstract: Storing documents in an object store in the cloud by creating a container for the documents, defining a document record including unique document ID and an index. A backup record for every backup includes a timestamp for each backup, and a bitmask for each document in the container has a single bit position for each document to indicate the corresponding document as unchanged or that it has been changed/deleted. Each bit location in the bitmask is referenced by the index in the document record. Large documents have a multi-part record identifying the containers. During point-in-time recovery, containers that match a given timestamp are found, and documents where the bitmask bit is set are restored.

  • Patent number: 11461294
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of importing data from a data source to a target storage system is disclosed. The method involves executing an automated data import process to retrieve data from the data source and update the target storage system based on the retrieved data. The automated data import process operates in dependence on a source data schema of the data source. The method involves detecting a change in the source data schema, and, in response to detecting the change in the source data schema, modifying the automated data import process. The modified automated data import process can subsequently be used to retrieve further data from the data source and update the target storage system based on the further retrieved data.

  • Patent number: 11449265
    Abstract: Partitions of drives are used to form a volume of a drive array. Each partition is associated with a trusted computing group (TCG) band. Each drive encrypts data stored on the partition with a key unique to the TCG band. The volume is formed using the partitions of the drives. In response to a band-based erasure being invoked on the volume, each drive of the plurality of drives overwrites the key of the TCG band associated with the partition and provides an erasure certificate attesting to the overwriting of the key. The erasure certifications from the drives are compiled into a consolidated erasure certification that attests to the erasure of the volume.

  • Patent number: 11436103
    Abstract: Replication of a filesystem or a mount point or share may replicate all data that it consists of irrespective of where the data is stored. Replication protects data irrespective of location. One method is to replicate the filesystem namespace as is while skipping the data outside of the appliance/machine so that replication cost and time are reasonable. The data outside of the machine, like cloud/tape data is protected differently. One example method includes a data protection operation configured to replication a namespace associated with multiple data tiers. During replication, data from one of the tiers is skipped while all of the namespace metadata is replicated. The recovery restores the namespace metadata and the data that was replicated from the other tier. This may be performed in connection with cyber security, for example when replicating multi-tier data to a vault.

  • Patent number: 11429733
    Abstract: A method for sharing secret data between multiple containers. In response to the initial booting of an operating system instance in a container, a unique operating system identifier is generated for the operating system instance. A grant authority stores the unique operating system identifier in a reserved area of a secure storage device. In response to a request from the operating system instance to access secret data in the secure storage device, the grant authority determines whether the unique operating system identifier is stored in the secure storage device. The operating system instance may be granted access to secret data in the non-reserved area of the secure storage device.

  • Patent number: 11388271
    Abstract: A first event occurs at a first computer at a first time, as measured by a local clock. A second event is initiated at a second computer by sending a message that includes the first time. The second event occurs at a second time, as measured by a local clock. Because of clock error, the first time is later than the second time. Based on the first time being later than the second time, an alternate second time, that is based on the first time, is used as the time of the second event. When a third system determines the order of the two events, the first time is obtained from the first computer, and the alternate second time is obtained from the second computer, and the order of the events is determined based on a comparison of the two times.
