Dynavisor Assigned Patent

Dynavisor, Inc., Milpitas, CA, has been assigned a patent (12073099) developed by Nair; Sreekumar, San Jose, CA, for “method and system for dynamic storage scaling.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method and system for dynamic storage scaling based on automatically parallelizing access of names and data across multiple nodes or micro object stores (MOSs) is provided. A dynamic storage scaling device cluster is provisioned for a particular level of parallelism (e.g., N MOSs) when the cluster is created. The N MOSs may initially reside in a few physical servers (e.g., one server). When the data distribution causes peak resource usage of the physical servers, new server(s) can be added. Some micro object stores (MOSs) are moved to the new physical server(s) through a meiosis process. The storage devices associated with the moved MOSs are unmounted from the original servers and mounted to the new server(s). The meiosis continues until the cluster grows to full capacity. The scaling is dynamic and efficient since no data copy is involved in the meiosis and the initial resource cost is optimized.”

The patent application was filed on 2023-01-30 (18/103295).
