  • On-demand provisioning of customized developer environments
    Patent number: 10606661
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for managing and creating customized testing and development environments by a custom environment manager for computer or data management systems. In a specific implementation, the custom environment manager includes request receivers that receive orders associated with a prioritization from custom environment requestors and store the received orders in a request queue that holds multiple orders having different prioritizations and made by different requestors. The custom environment manager also includes pooled resource managers that track available virtual and physical computing resources needed to build custom environments. The custom environment manager also includes configurators that create custom environments based upon prioritization of the orders and available resources and return the custom environment to the requestor of the order.

  • GARBAGE COLLECTION OF EXPIRED SNAPSHOTS
    Publication number: 20190213123
    Abstract: Methods and systems for reclaiming disk space via consolidation and deletion of expired snapshots are described. The expired snapshots may comprise snapshots of a virtual machine that are no longer required to be stored within a data storage domain (e.g., a cluster of data storage nodes or a cloud-based data store). In some cases, rather than storing an incremental file corresponding with a particular snapshot of the virtual machine, a full image of the particular snapshot may be generated and stored within the data storage domain. The generation of the full image may allow a chain of dependencies supporting the expired snapshots to be broken and for the expired snapshots to be deleted or consolidated. The full image of the particular snapshot may be generated using compute capacity in the cloud or may be generated locally by a storage appliance and uploaded to the data storage domain.

  • Incremental file system backup with adaptive fingerprinting
    Patent number: 11221920
    Abstract: Methods and systems for backing up and restoring sets of electronic files using sets of pseudo-virtual disks are described. The sets of electronic files may be sourced from or be stored using one or more different data sources including one or more real machines and/or one or more virtual machines. A first snapshot of the sets of electronic files may be aggregated from the different data sources and stored using a first pseudo-virtual disk. A second snapshot of the sets of electronic files may be aggregated from the different data sources subsequent to the generation of the first pseudo-virtual disk and stored using the first pseudo-virtual disk or a second pseudo-virtual disk different from the first pseudo-virtual disk.

  • Multi-tenant authorization framework in a data management and storage cluster
    Patent number: 11010487
    Abstract: A data management and storage (DMS) cluster of peer DMS nodes manages resources of a multi-tenant environment. The DMS cluster provides an authorization framework that provides user access which is scoped to the resources within a tenant organization and the privileges of the user within the organization. To authorize an action on a resource by a user, the DMS cluster determines determine user authorizations associated with the user defining privileges of the user on the resources of the multi-tenant environment, and organization authorizations associated defining resources of the multi-tenant environment that belong to the organization. The DMS cluster authorizes the action when the user authorizations and organizations authorized indicate that the action on the resource is authorized.

  • Techniques for data retrieval using cryptographic signatures
    Patent number: 11902452
    Abstract: A second data source may retrieve metadata for one or more versions of a set of versions of a file stored at the first data source. In some examples, the metadata for the one or more versions of the file may include at least an identifier of the file, a timestamp, and a cryptographic signature. In some examples, generation of the cryptographic signature may be based on the identifier of the file, the timestamp, and a cryptographic key. The second data source may identify a set of versions of the file that were uploaded from a trusted data source to the first data source based on a comparison of the cryptographic signature to a computed cryptographic signature. The second data source may then determine a targeted version of the file and retrieve the targeted version of the file from the first data source.

  • Ransomware infection detection in filesystems
    Patent number: 11783036
    Abstract: Described herein is a system that detects ransomware infection in filesystems. The system detects ransomware infection by using backup data of machines. The system detects ransomware infection in two stages. In the first stage, the system analyzes a filesystem's behavior. The filesystem's behavior can be obtained by loading the backup data and crawling the filesystem to create a filesystem metadata including information about file operations during a time interval. The filesystem determines a pattern of the file operations and compares the pattern to a normal patter to analyze the filesystem's behavior. If the filesystem's behavior is abnormal, the system proceeds to the second stage to analyze the content of the files to look for signs of encryption in the filesystem. The system combines the analysis of both stages to determine whether the filesystem is infected by ransomware.

  • Multiple domain authentication using data management and storage node
    Patent number: 10862887
    Abstract: A data management and storage (DMS) cluster of peer DMS nodes provides domain shares and authentication for different domains. Each DMS node includes a domain manager and multiple containers, each container including a domain share. Each container associated with a domain may provide an authentication service for authenticating users for a different domain to access domain shares of the domain, such as by contacting a domain controller of a compute infrastructure associated with the domain. The domain manager controls the creation and deletion of containers and their domain shares. The domain manager also provides a proxy service for the containers for communication with client devices of different domains external to the DMS cluster.

  • Scaling single file snapshot performance across clustered system
    Patent number: 11755417
    Abstract: Some embodiments may include a process for determining a type of snapshot to be stored using a data storage system. An example the process comprises identifying a snapshot chain for a first virtual machine, determining whether the snapshot chain includes a dependent base file, determining a maximum incremental chain length for the snapshot chain based on whether the snapshot chain includes a dependent base file, or based on an age of the backed up versions within the snapshot chain, determining whether a new snapshot chain should be created based on the maximum incremental chain length, and determining a type of snapshot to be stored for the first virtual machine based on the maximum incremental chain length.

  • Managing files according to categories
    Patent number: 11294857
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, with respect to a target set of files being managed (e.g., protected by data snapshots), each file in the target set of files is classified into one of two or more filesets (discontiguous filesets), where each of these filesets comprises one or more files that are related to each other by one or more factors, such as frequency of file change or purpose of existence (e.g., used by a software application). Once classified, files within the target set of files can be uniquely processed by a data management operation (e.g., incremental data snapshot process) according to their association to a discontiguous fileset.
