Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11704037) developed by Duttagupta, Anirvan, San Jose, CA, Talele, Shreyas, Santa Clara, CA, and Gupta, Anubhav, Sunnyvale, CA, for a “deduplicated storage disk space utilization.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A plurality of different views of data associated with a storage domain stored on a deduplicated storage are traversed to determine data chunks belonging to each view of the plurality of different views of data associated with the storage domain. A request for a metric associated with disk space utilization of a group of one or more selected views of data included in the plurality of different views of data associated with the storage domain that are stored on the deduplicated storage is received. Data chunks belonging to the one or more selected views of data associated with the storage domain of the group but not other views of the plurality of different views of data associated with the storage domain that are stored on the deduplicated storage are identified. An incremental disk space utilization of the group is determined, including by determining a total size of the identified data chunks. The metric associated with disk space utilization is provided based on the determined incremental disk space utilization of the group.”
The patent application was filed on 2020-03-30 (16/834136).
Efficient backup after restore operation
Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11698743) developed by Mundra, Shreshtha, Arun, Anand, San Jose, CA, Sawant, Shubham Parashram, Pune, India, and Hwang,Yinzen, Newark, CA, for an “efficient backup after a restore operation.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A request to restore a specific backup instance is received. In response to the received request to restore the specific backup instance, a new reference backup instance based on the specific backup instance stored at the storage controlled by the backup system is created at a storage controlled by a backup system. Data associated with the specific backup instance is provided to a recipient system from the storage associated with a backup system. A constructive incremental backup snapshot of the recipient system is performed based on the new reference backup instance.”
The patent application was filed on 2020-11-13 (17/097964).
Efficiently storing data in cloud storage
Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11681454) developed by Gupta, Anubhav, Sunnyvale, CA, Yarlagadda, Praveen Kumar, Santa Clara, CA, Guturi, Venkata Ranga Radhanikanth, Qiu, Zhihuan, San Jose, CA, and Agarwal, Sarthak, Fremont, CA, for an “efficiently storing data in a cloud storage.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A cloud server determines that a size of a first cloud storage element object is at least below a first threshold. In response to the first determination, a client-side component is requested to store additional data in the cloud storage element object including by having the client-side component update the first cloud storage element with an updated version that includes previously existing data of the first cloud storage element and the additional data. The first cloud storage element object is added to a set of one or more cloud storage element objects available for update. The client-side component is configured to generate an updated version of the first cloud storage element object that has a size that is greater than or equal to the first threshold.”
The patent application was filed on 2021-08-13 (17/402206).
Global deduplication
Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11681660) developed by Shanmuganathan, Ganesha, San Jose, 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 2021-01-22 (17/156091).
