    Abstract: A plurality of storage nodes is provided. Each of the plurality of storage nodes includes nonvolatile solid-state memory for user data storage. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to distribute the user data and metadata associated with the user data throughout the plurality of storage nodes such that the plurality of storage nodes maintain the ability to read the user data, using erasure coding, despite a loss of two of the plurality of storage nodes. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to initiate an action based on the redundant copies of the metadata, responsive to achieving a level of redundancy for the redundant copies of the metadata. A method for accessing user data in a plurality of storage nodes having nonvolatile solid-state memory is also provided.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of deduplication aware scalable content placement am described. A method may include receiving data to be stored on one or more nodes of a storage array and calculating a plurality of hashes corresponding to the data. The method further includes determining a first subset of the plurality of hashes, determining a second subset of the plurality of hashes of the first subset, and generating a node candidate placement list. The method may further include sending the first subset to one or more nodes represented on the node candidate placement list and receiving, from the nodes represented on the node candidate placement list, characteristics corresponding to the nodes represented on the candidate placement list. The method may further include identifying one of the one or more nodes represented on the candidate placement list m view of the characteristic and sending the data to the identified node.

    Abstract: Ensuring reproducibility in an artificial intelligence infrastructure that includes one or more storage systems and one or more graphical processing unit (‘GPU’) servers, including: identifying, by a unified management plane, one or more transformations applied to a dataset by the artificial intelligence infrastructure, wherein applying the one or more transformations to the dataset causes the artificial intelligence infrastructure to generate a transformed dataset; storing, within the one or more storage systems, information describing the dataset, the one or more transformations applied to the dataset, and the transformed dataset; identifying, by the unified management plane, one or more machine learning models executed by the artificial intelligence infrastructure using the transformed dataset as input; and storing, within the one or more storage systems, information describing one or more machine learning models executed using the transformed dataset as input.

    Abstract: A method for proactively rebuilding user data in a plurality of storage nodes of a storage cluster is provided. The method includes distributing user data and metadata throughout the plurality of storage nodes such that the plurality of storage nodes can read the user data, using erasure coding, despite loss of two of the storage nodes. The method includes determining that one of the storage nodes is unreachable and determining to rebuild the user data for the one of the storage nodes that is unreachable. The method includes reading the user data across a remainder of the plurality of storage nodes, using the erasure coding and writing the user data across the remainder of the plurality of storage nodes, using the erasure coding. A plurality of storage nodes within a single chassis that can proactively rebuild the user data stored within the storage nodes is also provided.

    Abstract: A method for accessing a file in a storage system is provided. The method includes determining, for each file chunk of the file, an authority among differing storage nodes of the storage system and receiving from the authority having ownership of the file chunk, location information for the file chunk. The method includes accessing file chunks of the file as directed by each of the determined authorities.
