    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently storing data in a storage system. A data storage subsystem includes multiple data storage locations on multiple storage devices in addition to at least one mapping table. A data storage controller determines whether data to store in the storage subsystem has one or more patterns of data intermingled with non-pattern data within an allocated block. Rather than store the one or more pattern on the storage devices, the controller stores information in a header on the storage devices. The information includes at least an offset for the first instance of a pattern, a pattern length, and an identification of the pattern. The data may be reconstructed for a corresponding read request from the information stored in the header.

    Abstract: Proactively providing corrective measures for storage arrays includes: receiving data from a storage array, the data including one or more events; detecting, in dependence upon a problem signature, one or more events from the data indicative of a particular problem, where the problem signature comprises a specification of a pattern of events indicative of the particular problem experienced by at least one other storage array; determining whether the particular problem violates an operational policy of the storage array, the operational policy specifying at least one requirement for an operational metric of the storage array; and if the particular problem violates the operational policy of the storage array, deploying automatically without user intervention one or more corrective measures to prevent the storage array from experiencing the particular problem.

    Abstract: Performance tuning in a storage system that includes one or more storage devices, including: storing, by a primary controller of the storage system, data corresponding to one or more computer processes into one or more of the one or more storage devices, determining, by a secondary controller that is configured similarly to the primary controller, one or more utilization patterns of the data, and initiating, in dependence upon the one or more utilization patterns of the data, a modification to a manner in which the one or more computer processes access the data stored in the one or more storage devices.

    Abstract: Synchronously replicating a dataset across cloud-based storage systems, including adding a cloud-based storage system to a set of storage systems that the dataset is synchronously replicated across, where access operations are applied to the dataset equivalently through all storage systems in the set, all storage systems in the set store a separate copy of the dataset, and operations to modify the dataset performed and completed through any of the storage systems in the set are reflected in access operations to read the dataset, the cloud-based storage system including one or more cloud computing instances executing a storage controller application, a virtual drive layer that includes one or more cloud computing instances with local storage for storing at least a portion of the dataset as block data, and an object storage layer for storing at least a portion of the dataset as object data.

    Abstract: Recovery of a container storage provider, including: storing, within a first database, configuration information related to the container storage provider; storing, within a second database hosted by a cloud-based storage system services provider, the configuration information; and responsive to detecting that one or more components associated with the container storage provider have become unavailable, creating a replacement component using configuration information contained in the second database.

    Abstract: Servicing I/O operations in a cloud-based storage system, including: receiving, by the cloud-based storage system, a request to write data to the cloud-based storage system; storing, in solid-state storage of the cloud-based storage system, the data; storing, in object storage of the cloud-based storage system, the data; detecting that at least some portion of the solid-state storage of the cloud-based storage system has become unavailable; identifying data that was stored in the portion of the solid-state storage of the cloud-based storage system that has become unavailable; retrieving, from object storage of the cloud-based storage system, the data that was stored in the portion of the solid-state storage of the cloud-based storage system that has become unavailable; and storing, in solid-state storage of the cloud-based storage system, the retrieved data.
