Abstract: In some embodiments, a multiple-data-storage-devices cartridge can implement a method of writing data via a data range application programming interface ("API"). The method can include: receiving a write request from a requester device, wherein the write request is a direct, broadcast or multicast, or fanout message and includes a size indication for a contiguous range of data; responsive to receiving the write request, sending a response message to the requester device indicating an intent to store the contiguous range of data; receiving the contiguous range of data from the requester device; powering on a target data storage device from amongst data storage devices within the cartridge while keeping at least another data storage device in the cartridge powered off; and writing the contiguous range of data to the target data storage device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for operating a storage system are provided. In one example, a storage system includes a storage server and a virtual storage appliance (VSA) implemented in a virtual machine. The storage server provides access to a first shared namespace of data. The VSA is operatively connected to the storage server system over a network connection and provides access to a second shared namespace of data over the network connection. The second shared namespace is defined by a policy and includes a subset of the first shared namespace. The VSA also replicates data of a third shared namespace of data at the VSA making the third shared namespace available at the VSA when the network connection is unavailable. The third namespace is defined by the policy and includes a subset of the second shared namespace.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for a data storage architecture for providing enhanced storage resiliency for a data object. The data storage architecture can be implemented in a single-tier configuration and/or a multi-tier configuration. In the single-tier configuration, a data object is encoded, e.g., based on an erasure coding method, to generate many data fragments, which are stored across many storage devices. In the multi-tier configuration, a data object is encoded, e.g., based on an erasure coding method, to generate many data segments, which are sent to one or more tiers of storage nodes. Each of the storage nodes further encodes the data segment to generate many data fragments representing the data segment, which are stored across many storage devices associated with the storage node. The I/O operations for rebuilding the data in case of device failures is spread across many storage devices, which minimizes the wear of a given storage device.

Abstract: Systems and methods efficiently distribute information, such as path name, attributes and object information, corresponding to changes in a content repository to remote nodes in a network using storage-layer/object-based protocols. A difference monitoring client monitors name space and object space changes by identifying inodes which have been modified on storage volumes between two or more snapshots. The monitoring client builds a list which may include name information, object space information and attributes such as file size and permissions for each of the changed inodes that is utilized to update the edge nodes. Systems and methods also provide for geo-scale content distribution from a central repository to edge nodes using a storage- layer/object protocol. A caching mechanism is utilized to cache requested content at an edge node. Cached content may be maintained at the edge node during use and/or for an additional predetermined period. Difference monitoring client tracks such cached content for later use in the storage system.

Abstract translation: 系统和方法使用存储层/基于对象的协议，有效地将对应于内容存储库中的更改的信息（例如路径名称，属性和对象信息）分发到网络中的远程节点。 差异监控客户端通过标识在两个或多个快照之间的存储卷上修改的inode来监视名称空间和对象空间更改。 监视客户端构建一个列表，其中可以包括名称信息，对象空间信息以及用于更新边缘节点的每个更改的节点的文件大小和权限等属性。 系统和方法还提供了使用存储层/对象协议从中央存储库到边缘节点的地理规模内容分发。 缓存机制用于在边缘节点处缓存所请求的内容。 缓存内容可以在使用期间和/或另外的预定时段期间保持在边缘节点处。 差异监控客户端跟踪这些缓存的内容以备以后在存储系统中使用。
