Systems and methods for classifying and transferring information in a storage network

Anand Prahlad, +4 more
TLDR
In this article, the authors describe systems and methods for data classification to facilitate and improve data management within an enterprise and present methods for generating a data structure of metadata that describes system data and storage operations.
Abstract: 
Systems and methods for data classification to facilitate and improve data management within an enterprise are described. The disclosed systems and methods evaluate and define data management operations based on data characteristics rather than data location, among other things. Also provided are methods for generating a data structure of metadata that describes system data and storage operations. This data structure may be consulted to determine changes in system data rather than scanning the data files themselves.

Systems and methods for management of virtualization data

Anand Prahlad, +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a method of copying data of one or more virtual machines being hosted by non-virtual machines by receiving an indication that specifies how to perform a copy of data.
Patent

Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant

Thomas R. Gruber, +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.

The design and implementation of a log-structured file system

Mendel Rosenblum, +1 more
- 01 Feb 1992 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a log-structured file system called Sprite LFS is proposed, which uses a segment cleaner to compress the live information from heavily fragmented segments in order to speed up file writing and crash recovery.

Computer system and process for transferring multiple high bandwidth streams of data between multiple storage units and multiple applications in a scalable and reliable manner

Eric C. Peters, +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the data is divided into segments and each segment is distributed randomly on one of several storage units, independent of the storage units on which other segments of the media data are stored.

System for backing up files from disk volumes on multiple nodes of a computer network

Douglas L. Whiting, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a system for backuping files from disk volumes on multiple nodes of a computer network to a common random-access backup storage means, where duplicate files (or portions of files) may be identified across nodes, so that only a single copy of the contents of the duplicate files or portions thereof is stored in the backup storage mean.

Systems and methods for backing up data files

Christopher Midgley, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a synchronization process that replicates selected source data files data stored on the network and creates a corresponding set of replicated data files, called the target data files that are stored on a back up server.
