By Francis Pelletier | September 22, 2016 at 3:00 pmDelphix Corp., Menlo Park, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,436,556) developed by Siden, Christopher G., and Leventhal, Adam H., San Francisco, CA, for a “customizable storage system for virtual databases.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A database storage system provides replication capability that allows data from a source database and application specific data from a source application to be replicated respectively to a target database storage system and a target application, thereby creating a virtual database and a virtual application. The database storage system generates a plurality of snapshots of the virtual database at a corresponding plurality of time points and a plurality of snapshots of the virtual application at the corresponding plurality of time points. The database storage system associates the plurality of snapshots of the virtual database with the plurality of snapshots of the virtual application at the corresponding plurality of time points so as to generate a historical time-sequence of concurrent modifications to both the virtual database and the virtual application at the one or more development environments, thereby allowing concurrent read/write and rollback, of data and applications.“
The patent application was filed on July 2, 2014 (14/322,597).
