Egnyte Assigned Patent
Eliminating full rescan synchronizations on service restarts
By Francis Pelletier | June 29, 2022 at 2:00 pmEgnyte, Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (11,341,100) developed by Koos, Remus, San Jose, CA, Broner, Tal, Sunnyvale, CA, and Krishnan, Harikesavan, San Jose, CA, for “system and method for eliminating full rescan synchronizations on service restarts.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A novel method for restarting a steady-state synchronization process includes persisting synchronization data in non-volatile memory before restarting, and utilizing the persisted synchronization data to restart the synchronization where the prior steady-state synchronization process left off. In a particular embodiment, the synchronization data is indicative of a particular point of the synchronization process and is utilized to begin synchronizing from that point after the service is restarted. In a more particular embodiment, the synchronization data is a particular operation of a sequence of operations performed as part of the synchronization. In another particular embodiment, operations associated with a batch are applied before stopping the synchronization.”
The patent application was filed on December 12, 2017 (15/839,451).
