Cohesity Assigned Nine Patents

Restoring storage system using file relocation metadata
Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11853581) developed by Mandagere, Nagapramod, Ng, Yu-Shen, Mountain View, CA, and Chawla, Karandeep Singh, Santa Clara, CA, for “restoring a storage system using file relocation metadata.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A request to restore a plurality of files to a first storage system from a backup stored at a second storage system is received. Corresponding file relocation metadata for each of the plurality of files is provided to the first storage system. The corresponding file relocation metadata for each of the plurality of files enables accessibility of contents of the plurality of files at the first storage system without storing entire contents of the plurality of files at the first storage system. A corresponding full content version for at least one of the plurality of files that is to be utilized by the first storage system is provided to enable direct access at the first storage system to contents of the at least one of the plurality of files instead of utilizing corresponding file relocation metadata for the at least one of the plurality of files to access the contents of the at least one of the plurality of files.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-06-14 (17/840260).

Reducing impact of network latency during restore operation
Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11855868) developed by Chakankar, Abhijit, Gothi, Prashant, San Jose, CA, Gupta, Anubhav, and Singhal, Manoj, Sunnyvale, CA, for “reducing the impact of network latency during a restore operation.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Data chunks sent to a content destination are tracked. It is determined whether content of a portion of an object to be sent to the content destination matches one of the data chunks previously sent to the content destination. In response to the determination that the portion of the object to be sent to the content destination matches one of the data chunks previously sent to the content destination, a source reference to the matching previously sent data chunk where the content destination can locally obtain the content for the portion of the object is provided to the content destination.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A specification of content to be stored in a cloud storage is received at a client-side component. A portion of the content is divided into a plurality of data chunks. One or more data chunks of the plurality of data chunks that are to be sent via a network to be stored in the cloud storage are identified. It is determined whether a batch size of the one or more identified data chunks meets a threshold size. Based on the determination of whether the batch size meets the threshold size, a cloud storage destination among a plurality of different cloud storage destinations associated with different performance tiers is selected.”

Providing logical data isolation with intermittent connectivity
Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11829261) developed by Radhakrishnan, Karthick, and Singh, Saurabh, Bangalore, India, for “providing a logical data isolation with intermittent connectivity.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “An intermittent network connection between a source system and a destination system is established by establishing a first connection from a management resource to a first port of the destination system, causing a second port of the destination system to be enabled including by providing an instruction via the first connection to the first port of the destination system, establishing a second connection from the management resource to a first port of a source system, causing a second port of the source system to be enabled including by providing an instruction via the second connection to the first port of the source system, registering the destination system with the source system, and causing a third connection to be established between the second port of the source system and the second port of the destination system for transferring data from the source system to the destination system. In response to a determination that a communication session of the third connection has been completed, the intermittent network connection between the source system and the destination system is terminated.”

The patent application was filed on 2021-11-30 (17/538075).

Using storage system to optimize and maintain metadata associated with plurality of small files
Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11803513) developed by Gupta, Apurv, Bangalore, India, and Duttagupta, Anirvan, San Jose, CA, for “using a storage system to optimize and maintain the metadata associated with a plurality of small files.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A size associated with a first content file is determined to be less than a threshold size. In response to determining that the size associated with the first content file is less than the threshold size, a combined metadata structure is updated at least in part by combining metadata of the first content file with metadata of a second content file in the combined metadata structure. A snapshot tree is updated to reference a first portion of the combined metadata structure corresponding to the first content file and to reference a second portion of the combined metadata structure corresponding to the second content file.”

The patent application was filed on 2021-02-11 (17/174103).

Reducing memory usage in storing metadata
Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11797220) developed by Qiu, Zhihuan, San Jose, CA, Jain, Sachin, Fremont, CA, Gupta, Anubhav, Sunnyvale, CA, Gupta, Apurv, Bangalore, India, and Aron, Mohit, Saratoga, CA, for “reducing memory usage in storing metadata.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Data is ingested from a source system including by storing a plurality of data chunks in one or more chunk files and storing corresponding chunk identifiers associated with the plurality of data chunks in a first data structure. After data ingestion is complete, one or more duplicate data chunks that were stored during the data ingestion are determined and a second data structure is updated to include one or more entries corresponding to one or more determined duplicate data chunks.”

The patent application was filed on 2021-08-20 (17/408007).

Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11775482) developed by Gupta, Anubhav, Sunnyvale, CA, Jain, Sachin, Fremont, CA, Talele, Shreyas, and Qiu, Zhihuan, Santa Clara, CA, for a “file system metadata deduplication.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “File metadata structures of a file system are analyzed.

At least a portion of content of the first archive is stored in data chunks stored in a first chunk object of the remote storage and the first archive is associated with a first data policy. A second archive of a second snapshot of the source storage is caused to be stored to the remote storage. At least a portion of content of the second archive is referenced from data chunks stored in the first chunk object and the second archive is associated with a second data policy. Policy compliance of the chunk object storing data chunks referenced by the first archive and the second archive that are different is automatically managed based on the first data policy and the second data policy that are different.”
