SECURE, DISTRIBUTED RAID STORAGE SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Systems and methods for securely and remotely storing data in a remote, distributed redundant array of independent drives (RAID) is provided. RAID storage is accomplished through a series of mapped drives, non-routable Internet protocol (IP) addresses, and routable IP addresses. In addition, authorization to access a RAID controller, network address translation (NAT) system, and domain name system (DNS) system may all be separated, increasing security and allowing storage to be securely distributed among a variety of dispersed storage locations.

Intelligent local management of data stream throttling in secondary-copy operations
10938723 · 2021-03-02 · ·

Intelligent local management of data stream throttling in data movement operations, such as secondary-copy operations in a storage management system, is disclosed. A local throttling manager may intelligently interoperate with co-resident data agents and/or a media agent executing on any given local computing device, whether a client computing device or a secondary storage computing device. The local throttling manager may allocate and manage the available bandwidth for various jobs and their constituent data streamsacross the data agents and/or media agent. Bandwidth is dynamically allocated and re-allocated to data streams used by ongoing jobs, in response to new jobs starting and old jobs completing, without having to pause and restart ongoing jobs to accommodate bandwidth adjustments. The illustrative embodiment also provides local users with a measure of control over data streamsto suspend, pause, and/or resume themindependently from the centralized storage manager that manages the storage management system as a whole.

Methods, systems, and devices related to a memory system or scheme that includes a first memory device configured for low-energy access operations and a second memory device configured for storing high-density information and operations of the same are described. The memory system may include an array configured for high-density information and may interface with a host via a controller and a cache or another array of a relatively fast memory type. The memory system may support signals communicated according to one or several modulation schemes, including a modulation scheme or schemes that employ two, three, or more voltage levels (e.g., NRZ, PAM4). The memory system may include, e.g., separate channels configured to communicate using different modulation schemes between a host and between memory arrays or memory types within the memory system.

Read disturb scan consolidation

A processing device in a memory system determines that data stored in a first block of a plurality of blocks of a memory component satisfies a first threshold criterion pertaining to an age of the data. Responsive to the data stored in the first block satisfying the first threshold criterion, the processing device maintains a first counter to track a number of read operations performed on the first block. The processing device further determines that the data stored in the first block does not satisfy the first threshold criterion, and in response, maintains a second counter to track a number of read operations performed on a super block comprising the plurality of blocks.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR I/O FENCING BASED ON STORAGE ARRAY ACCESS CONTROL LIST

A method, computer program product, and computer system for creating, by a computing device, a logical unit number (LUN) on a storage array node of a storage system. An identifier of the LUN of the storage array node may be provided to a computing system, wherein the computing system includes one of a host, a server, and the storage array node. An access control list (ACL) of the computing system may be created. The ACL of the computing system may be applied to the LUN based upon, at least in part, the identifier. The LUN may be discovered and mapped at the computing system. It may be determined that the computing system has failed. The ACL of the computing system that has failed may be removed from the LUN to prevent the computing system that has failed from accessing the LUN.

DISTRIBUTION FROM MULTIPLE SERVERS TO MULTIPLE NODES
20210042048 · 2021-02-11 ·

The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a computer-implemented method, a system, and a computer program product for distributing data on multiple servers to multiple nodes in a cluster. In the method, each of M servers is instructed to divide data thereon into N data segments. M and N are integers greater than one. The M servers are instructed to send NM data segments on the M servers to N nodes in a cluster concurrently. For each of the M servers, the N data segments are sent respectively to the N nodes. When any given node in the cluster receives a data piece of a data segment from a server of the M servers, the given node is instructed to transmit the received data piece to remaining nodes in the cluster other than the given node.
