摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and apparatus for receiving an input/output (I/O) request from a host computer that specifies an operation to be performed on a content addressable storage (CAS) system and determining which operation is specified by the request before receipt of the I/O request by a content addressable storage system. In another embodiment, an I/O request from a host computer is received by a first CAS which determines if the request is to be processed by another CAS system. When it is determined that the request is to be processed by another CAS system, the first CAS system may forward the request to the other CAS system. In another embodiment, an appliance receives an I/O request from a host computer to perform an operation that accesses a unit of content. The appliance may set up a communication session between the host and a CAS system so that the unit of content may be transmitted between the host and the CAS system without passing through the appliance.

There is disclosed a method for use in managing databases in data storage systems comprising a plurality of nodes. A request is received to provision storage for a specified application intending to use a database. Based on application-awareness, the storage system is provisioned for storing the database in response to receiving the request. Database tables are distributed across the nodes based on a forecasted first I/O profile between application and database. Information is captured in connection with the activity between the application and database. A second I/O profile is determined based on the captured information. The second I/O profile is an actual in-running I/O profile between application and database. The first I/O profile and second I/O profile are compared. The database tables are re-organized on the nodes based on the comparison identifying a discrepancy between first and second I/O profiles such that storage system is rebalanced.

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, an apparatus and a computer-program product for man-in-the-middle agent-assisted client filtering. An example method to be performed by the man-in-the-middle includes receiving portions of a data stream transmitted from a source and performing an analysis of the portions of the data stream. Based on the analysis, the man-in-the-middle then may interact with the source. An example method to be performed by an agent at the source includes providing portions of a transmitted data stream to the man-in-the-middle and interacting with the man-in-the-middle.
摘要:
A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer program product for configuring a requirements model for a cloud computing space includes defining a list of available system capabilities within the cloud computing space. A user is allowed to define one or more user requirements chosen from the list of available system capabilities. The one or more user requirements are associated with one or more hardware/software requirements. A cloud computing solution is configured based, at least in part, upon the one or more user requirements and the one or more hardware/software requirements.

Methods, a system, and a program product for use in managing data storage is disclosed. In an embodiment, a method, system, and program product comprises receiving content via an object based storage interface to a data storage system; generating a database insert operation for an object derived from the content, the object having a generated object identifier; and using the database entry operation, storing data associated with the object in a shared-nothing database located within the data storage system, wherein the shared-nothing database is enabled to perform parallel processing across multiple independent nodes.In another embodiment, a method comprises receiving a delete command for an object via an object based interface to a data storage system; generating a database delete operation for the object based on the delete command; and using the database delete operation, deleting data associated with the object in a shared-nothing database located within the data storage system, wherein the shared-nothing database is enabled to perform parallel processing across multiple independent nodes.In yet another embodiment, a method comprises receiving a search command via an object based interface to a data storage system; generating a database query based on the search command; and using the database query, querying a shared-nothing database located within the data storage system, wherein the shared-nothing database is enabled to perform parallel processing across multiple independent nodes.

Described are techniques for performing automated discovery processing in a network. A data storage system monitors transmissions sent over the network. The data storage system extracts one or more data elements from one or more messages included in the transmissions and determines at least one application executing on a component in the network in accordance with the one or more data elements.

A method, system, and program product for use in managing on-site access to ecosystem features is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method, system, and program product may comprise sending, from a data storage system, a set of context information about the data storage system; at a recipient location on a common intranet with the data storage system, receiving the set of context information and, based on criteria specified for opportunity alerts, determining from the set of context information a subset of the opportunity alerts applicable to the data storage system; and causing the data storage system to be updated with the subset of opportunity alerts.
摘要:
Described are techniques for providing support in connection with a data storage system. An active element manager component is used to perform, a data storage system management operation. The active element manager component collects context information. The context information is transmitted from the data storage system to an external environment. User relevant information is received at the active element manager component from the external environment. The external environment determines the user relevant information in accordance with the context information and support information and services provided by the external environment. The user relevant information includes information about one or more types of support. The user relevant information is displayed via a user interface.
