System and method for bandwidth optimization in a network storage environment
Paul Jardetzky,Steven R. Kleiman,Roger Keith Stager,Don Alvin Trimmer,Ling Zheng,Yuval Frandzel +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a network cache intercepts data requested by a client from a remote server interconnected with the cache through one or more wide area network (WAN) links (e.g., for Wide Area File Services, or “WAFS”).
Patent
System and method for sampling based elimination of duplicate data
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique for eliminating duplicate data is provided, in which one or more anchor points are identified within the data set and a bit-by-bit data comparison is performed of the region surrounding the anchor point in the received data set with the regions surrounding an anchor point stored within a pattern database to identify forward/backward delta values.
Patent
Method of importing data from a physical data storage device into a virtual tape library
Don Alvin Trimmer,Roger Keith Stager,Craig Anthony Johnston,Yafen Peggy Chang,Jerry Kai Lau,Gavin David Cohen,Rico Blaser +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method of importing a plurality of data from a physical data storage device into a virtual tape library system that is used with a data protection application, which is usable with existing data protection applications designed for use with a physical tape library.
Patent
System and method for virtual vaulting
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a tape library comprising both a small front-end portion and a larger back-end part, which can be used for both virtual and physical storage.
Patent
Method and system for copying backup data
TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for copying backup data is described, in which backup data may be copied to a first virtual tape library in the same format as it would be copied in a physical tape library.
