Managing a storage array (102, 104) includes: receiving, by a client-side array services module (178) from a cloud-based security module (174) through data communications on a wide area network (172), a token representing authentication of user credentials; and managing, by the client-side array services module (178), a storage array (102, 104) only through data communications on a local area network (160), including sending, to the storage array (102, 104), the token with a management instruction.

Managing a storage array using client-side services

Locally providing cloud storage array services for a storage array of a data center when the storage array is not connected to a remote cloud-based storage array services provider includes initiating, by a primary storage array, one or more cloud storage array services and locally providing the cloud storage array services. Such local providing of the cloud storage array services also includes generating, by the cloud storage array services, metadata describing one or more real-time storage array characteristics and presenting the metadata to a user through a local area network.

Locally providing cloud storage array services

A method of operation of a storage control system includes: calculating a throttle threshold; identifying a detection point based on the throttle threshold; and calculating a number of write/erase cycles based on the detection point and the throttle threshold for writing a memory device.

Storage control system with data management mechanism and method of operation thereof

An apparatus is provided comprising a physical memory sub-system including a first memory of a first memory class and a second memory of a second memory class, the second memory being communicatively coupled to the first memory. The apparatus is configured such that the first memory and the second memory are capable of receiving instructions via the memory bus. A system and method are also provided for circuit cooperation. The system includes a first semiconductor platform including at least one first circuit, and at least one additional semiconductor platform stacked with the first semiconductor platform and including at least one additional circuit. Furthermore, the system is operable such that the at least one first circuit and the at least one additional circuit cooperate to carry out at least one task.

Multiple class memory systems

The embodiments described herein methods and devices that enhance the endurance of a non-volatile memory (e.g., flash memory). The method includes obtaining, for each of the plurality of die, an endurance metric. The method also includes sorting the plurality of die into a plurality of die groups based on their corresponding endurance metrics, where each die group includes one or more die and each die group is associated with a range of endurance metrics. In response to a write command specifying a set of write data, the method further includes writing the write data to the non-volatile memory by writing in parallel subsets of the write data to the one or more die assigned to a single die group of the plurality of die groups.

Device and method for managing die groups

A method of operation of a non-volatile memory management system includes: selecting a specific time period by a unit controller; establishing a first time pool having super blocks written during the specific time period; and promoting to a second time pool, the super blocks from the first time pool, at the lapse of the specific time period.

Non-volatile memory management system with time measure mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of a storage control system includes: partitioning logical addresses into a number of subdrives, the logical addresses associated with a memory device; and monitoring a data write measure of one of the subdrives.

Storage control system with write amplification control mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of an electronic system includes: forming a superblock by organizing an erase block according to a wear attribute; detecting a trigger count of the wear attribute of the superblock; updating a metadata table with the trigger count; and triggering a recycling event of the superblock based on the metadata table.

Electronic system with storage management mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of a non-volatile memory system includes: generating a test stimulus for a page in a memory array; measuring a test response from the page in the memory array based on the test stimulus; calculating a measured effective life of the page from the test response; and determining a use plan according to the measured effective life for accessing the page.
