Cohesity Assigned Patent

Cohesity, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,037,337) developed by Shanmuganathan, Ganesha, Santa Clara, CA , for a “global deduplication.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Embodiments presented herein describe techniques for deduplicating chunks of data across multiple clusters. A process executing in a storage system identifies one or more chunks in an incoming stream of data. For each chunk, a first fingerprint corresponding to the chunk is generated. The process determines whether the first fingerprint matches a second fingerprint listed in a corresponding entry in a deduplication map. Each entry of the deduplication map corresponds to a chunk stored in a location in one of the storage clusters. Upon determining that the first fingerprint matches the second fingerprint, the process writes, to a local persistent storage, a pointer referencing the location in that storage cluster.”

The patent application was filed on September 14, 2015 (14/852,820).
